I'm surprised your breeder has suggested neutering, unless there is something in the line they're not admitting to.
All I can suggest is read, read, read - and make your own mind up.
Having done the same, my choice would be to leave intact, assuming I ever have another entire dog. Don't forget, once it's done you cannot change your mind.
Rescues generally see the effects of irresponsible/accidental breeding and act accordingly.
It's not done to people (more's the pity IMNSHO), so why put your pet through it, just for convenience?
And make d*mn sure your dog does not get out!

@sanjibasenji Please be careful with rawhide. I had a horrendous time with a rawhide chew many, many years ago & haven't risked them since.

Might vaseline work? Make sure the neighbours aren't watching :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

@zande Funny that. I've only had one basenji puppy. She was born in May 😉
