One of the biggest myths we hear is that intact male dogs can't peacefully coexist or play together.

The truth is, being intact doesn't automatically determine a dog's behavior. Genetics, early socialization, individual temperament, training, and thoughtful introductions all play a role in how dogs interact with one another.

Roux and Wallace are a great example of two intact males enjoying an appropriate play session. They communicate well, respect each other's boundaries, and know when to give and take during play.

Every dog is an individual, and successful interactions are about much more than reproductive status.
