| I have had one neutered male, and spayed females. My male never went low thyroid his entire life (10 1/2), he never leaked urine, didn't get osteosarcoma, and didn't get "lazy". He was active till he was too old to be active.
None of my females leak urine, and my oldest female doberman will be 9 this year. She is thyroid normal as well (tested October '07).

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog & a man.
