Sure it is, I simply come to diffent conclusions or better think that there is no general conclusion.
I have looked up if the German study has been translated but it seems it has not. It is a whole paper showing up much more aspects and the author has collected datas from more than 1000 owners and asked every dogsschool for their experiences. This combined with the medical point of view gives a more objective view to many aspects.
Especially when you look at castration in very early age you will find a 100% pro if you ask a surgeon, the same in your study as far as I remember, you will come to nearly 100% contra if you ask German dogschools and most owners. It´s almost only pro is the much easier and quicker surgery and the study showed that the very often denied cons clearly exist.
