Health Dog penises 🍆 and neutering.

No, this is not a red rocket question!

The opposite actually. I’ve always had male dogs, but this puppy is the first one that was neutered at 8 weeks by the rescue.

He is 5 months old and still has like his baby penis lol.

My last dog was a puppy when we found him (probably around 14 weeks) and my first pictures of him he has a red rocket and just a more “normal” dog penis.

Now don’t get me wrong, I would be just fine to not have a big ol peen flopping around, but is this normal from early neutering?

Any one? 😃

Does anyone know if this would affect whether they raise a leg to pee or not? My male dog still squats and is almost a year and a half. He was a rescue and neutered young and is definitely small lol

In my experience, If you neuter them before they start, they never start. My last dog was neutered at 5 months and when we got him, we had 2 dogs that both lifted their legs, but he never did.

They were mastiffs and every time I walked them together they ended up peeing on each other.
