Udonis Haslem is known to have owned several dogs, the most notable being Juice, a purebred Cane Corso. Originally, Haslem had plans to breed Juice and capitalize on both the sale of puppies and Juice’s semen. However, due to an unfortunate mishap at the veterinary clinic, Juice was accidentally neutered. Subsequently, Haslem took legal action against the clinic, stating that he had invested $30,000 USD in training the dog, who had become overly docile as a result. He also cited a financial loss of $10,000 USD from the potential sale of Juice’s sperm.
