Like JG says the risk is also injury if they mate and tie without anyone being around. ALL my neutered males still do. I've had a nightmare this week with one of my male dogs tying with an in season bitch, the bitch panicking and trying to pull apart and the first thing we knew about it were hearing screams. That male was neutered 2 years ago and up until now has NOT mated bitches in season -now suddenly he does. I'm coming to the conclusion I can never have any male, neutered or entire, around a bitch in season.
