My wife would like to have him neutered, which I am not opposed to for pets. But I have heard this may not be best for a hunting dog. Will this have any affect on his hunting desire? I don't plan on breeding him, so have others out there gone this route?
This forum ain't rocket science (or any other kind). Matt didn't ask for studies - he asked for the experiences of other hunters. And the anecdotal answers from others who have "gone this route" are almost unanimous: no, neutering does not affect hunting desire.
