Expert Answer
An unneutered male Samoyed has a higher risk of reproductive diseases such as prostate disease, testicular tumors, and testicular cancer, shortening its lifespan. Also, an intact male goes into heat irregularly, leading to urination marking, running away, mounting the owner’s feet, and fighting other males over mates.
Finally, a Samoyed in heat becomes irritable from hormonal changes and has faster metabolism, so it is hard to gain weight. If the owner has no breeding plan, consider neutering.
