Good point. On the otherhand, I've seen several retrievers that were fixed both male and female that never missed a beat. I think that with proper nutrition and regular exercise there is a good chance that neither the drive or health problems will be an issue. When I say regular exercise, I mean long swims and runs a few times a week if not daily. I'm speaking of retrievers. I have no idea about spaniels.
