As theriogenologists, we strongly recommend that all animals being considered for breeding undergo a thorough pre-breeding examination to include testing for brucellosis in dogs; assessment for heritable conditions with hip radiographs, certification of the eyes, and other tests specific to the breed; a complete physical examination; and semen evaluation of males. Many animals should not be bred. If an animal’s health will suffer from remaining sexually in tact or if that animal is unlikely to produce superior offspring, it should be neutered. Theriogenology is not about breeding animals at any cost; instead, it is about educating clients about how best to manage breeding and reproductive conditions of animals. Theriogenologists have been at the forefront of efforts to curb pet overpopulation and continue to research how best to treat reproductive tract disease in all animals, intact or neutered.
