No medical reason for castrating males unless it has a problem, bitches can & do develop pyrometra regardless of whether they have had a litter so I would spay to prevent possible pyrometra especially in an older bitch(had to have a 10 1/2 year old emergency spayed when she developed a closed pyrometra & it was touch & go as to whether or not she would live, many years ago)
