While that may be true, I don't know if you remember my Thor's problems or 
not. Because I didn't have him neutered, he developed perianal tumors during 
middle age. If you recall, because of the reoccurance of those tumors and 
the surgeries necessary to remove them, he suffered miserably.. it was 
ultimately the cause of his death. Because he was old, he never made it thru 
the last surgery without encountering a probable brain clot. So, yes, human 
relationships are more important than most everything but a simple neuter 
could prevent many health problems. As GPCA Health person, I'm sure you know 
about all the things, including prostate cancer, that could be avoided by 
simply doing what is right for the regular "pet quality" Pyr. Taking on pet 
ownership means taking on the responsibility to protect that pet from 
illnesses you can prevent. These are my two cents.......
