OK 'double' the usual rate of neutered males (Goldens) were diagnosed with HD
according to that study; but that is still only at 10%. Which means 90% of their
sample were clear (so far).
I would hazard a guess that a good percentage of that extra 5 % were due to the
individual dogs being allowed to get overweight / run down their muscle mass.

Hi Hundmutter ! it was exactly the point. My vet first told me that his hormones would decreace so his muscles would decrece too. Then I though of the posibilite that it could cause dysplasia, and I ask him this issue. He answered that the neutering does not cause dysplasia. Now I think I had to think of that possibility more carefully before neutering a breed with such a propension. For the time being every thing are better, he is not believing everything as I want to subjugat him.

Had one of my dogs ever tried to attack ME, neutering would not be in its future; there would be no future for that dog.
From what you are saying Fidu is wired to be aggressive (or dominant), it's in his genes and it sounds like his breeder doesn't select against owner aggression. You may still get bitten by this dog, testicles or no testicles. Be careful.
Feed him less and no treats. If you do that he won't gain anymore weight. I've have owned and worked with many, many neutered dogs over the years, some neutered before they were a year of age. None died from anything that could be associated with early neutering. The only "difference" I noticed were most grew taller than I thought they noramlly would and males didn't develop a masculine head. Not a big deal for a pet. I'm not sure where all this opposition to early neutering dogs came from. It used to be common practice to require pet buyers to neuter their dogs - this was before AKC limited registration. Dogs lived just as long then and didn't get nearly as much bone cancer as they seem to today. Anotherr plus was there didn't seem to be as many unwanted dogs sitting in rescue as a result of the dog overpopulation.
