I’m sure you’re right. Years ago they pushed having animals “fixed” at 6 months! And then we started reading how terribly detrimental the lack of hormonal development was for your dog. Ours are a 5 YO Lab and a 2 YO Husky, almost exactly the same size, and the only problem we have is that they each try to make a show of dominance over the other but it’s all bark and no bite. And then they mark territory, but I’m sure they would do that anyway because that’s what dogs do.
In large dogs there's now recognition that early castration (female and male) results in bone problems due to interference with growth plate closure and also to certain cancers, at least in some breeds. Finding that out led me to wonder what awful things we'll eventually find out about the results of the castration of children to "affirm" their (or their parents') mental illness.
We followed that idiotic recommendation with our old Lab and had him neutered at 6 mos. He lived the normal lifespan of a Lab, 14 years, but suffered terribly with arthritis for the last 4-5 years of his life. I blamed the early castration.
The awful things they are doing to children is simply unthinkable! The resulting horrors, both mental and physical will play out for years in those sad, wrecked lives.

Marking territory: Male cats do that as well.
Something tells me male humans, centuries ago, likely did the same.
