I am a big fan of spaying/neutering your pets. While it is true that you dog will never bring home puppies, you have to consider that if you decide not to neuter him, he will always have the urge to mate: any and every female in heat will tempt him. He will possibly run away to get to a female, and bassets DO NOT find their way home. Neutering your dog will make him a less stressed, calmer, and more relaxed and loving pet. Please do neuter him. It is an easy surgery, little recovery time, and will be SO good for him in the long run!
