In his defense, he did have a son and had just fought a battle there.

I think that is a fairly natural reaction.

The Dwarves couldn't bide their time indefinitely like the Elves, nor did they have the urgency to procreate which was a trait of Men (and Hobbits).

I hadn't really thought about it from a "biological" perspective, but that is a good point.
