성견 호신견의 중성화 수술은 이미 견고하게 형성된 방어 기제나 호신 작업 능력에 직접적인 부정적 영향을 미치지 않는다. 호신 훈련이 완전히 숙련된 3세 이상의 성견에게는 중성화가 기질 변화를 야기하지 않으며, 오히려 전립선 건강 유지와 수명 연장이라는 의학적 이점을 가져다준다. 오랜 기간 경찰견 및 호신견을 다뤄온 경험에 따르면, 훈련이 탄탄하게 완성된 상태의 개는 중성화 이후에도 기존의 보호 본능이나 경계 태세를 그대로 유지한다. 중성화 여부는 개의 호신 수행 능력과 무관하며, 개체가 성숙기에 도달하고 훈련이 충분히 체득되었다면 행동상의 퇴행은 발생하지 않는다. 따라서 호신 훈련을 마친 성견의 보호 본능 유지 여부는 중성화라는 외과적 처치가 아닌, 개가 가진 원래의 성품과 훈련의 완성도에 의해 결정된다.

Hello, my name is Ed Farley and of course I own Learburg. There's a good question and answer about a protection dog because these people want to know if they neuter the protection dog, will it change its desire to stop protecting them? I'll read it to you. Will neutering my three-year-old Belgian Malinois that's protection trained make him less protective? Cindy has a good point. We agree on almost everything. Almost everything. She says, if your dog is fully trained in protection work and the training is solid, then neutering usually has no effect on an adult dog. And that's the case too because over the years I have seen and I used to breed German Shepherds for police service dogs for 35 years so I've got a lot of experience dealing with dogs that have gone through protection training either in the civilian sector or for law enforcement work. And a lot of times police service dogs as they get up there in age by 7, 8 years old, it's not uncommon to go and have them neutered because it eliminates the problem of them developing prostate cancer or problems with their prostate just like it is with older adult males. So it will have no effect on the dog if the dog has solid temperament and if the dog has solid protection training, good protection training. You won't see any difference in the dog at all. And what you might be doing is extending the life of your dog by doing this. Be with respect. you
