Most people nowadays don't sterilize their dogs for either of those things. Most of the time, it's to lessen the responsibility load of owning the dog.

fixed dogs that I can't do with my intact ones:
#2: Leave them loose inside the house unsupervised.
Exception is when the opposite sex is behind a locked door while I'm home awake.

Owner's choice. Yes, it's always an option that could be unsuccessful, and it still comes with almost the same responsibility of an intact dog.

120 GSD in Egypt
~10 million GSD in the world
~900 million dogs in the world
GSD: >0.0012%
Dogs: >0.000013%
That's a small sample size. Generalization and misinformation hurts dogs.

Sterilization happens for a multitude of reasons, including the owner's quality of life, health, and helping the dog focus. Sterilization happens no matter how experience the handler is.
When you're educating, you need to have your facts straight.

I was fortunate to be born into the working dog and horse communities. Also, blessed to work at a vet clinic that saw working dogs because they were a part of the community. I've friends who do scent work with their fixed dogs.

That was a small sample size and only for GSD. Unsure if ethically breed for not or timing of sterilization. The last one's result said there was a low chance for sterilization before 1 yrs old.

Again, are you part of those communities? What type of activities are you doing with your own dogs? What type of training are you doing?

There's a different level of responsibility. I would know because I own both intact and sterilization dogs. I'm also a very responsible dog owner with highly trained working dogs. I'm happy to list out the difference if you need me to.
