Our 2, almost 3 year old male is not neutered and he is the biggest mush love bug. We did mate him with our female and his personality didn't change a bit. We actually kept two of the puppies and he is a great daddy. But, we never let him run loose. We are planning to get him neutered in the near future but only because we don't want our females getting pregnant and I figure that neutering is less invasive and cheaper than having the girls spayed. We were a little late on that about 57 days ago and Trinity is due next week. Sounds like you have a great dog what ever you decide. Good luck.

I realize the plight of animals in shelters - however, I am considering breeding him to produce other pets for my friend and myself. Her dog is 5 years old. I wouldn't think of studding him out - which is incidently was his original name was! We renamed him "Chico". He is does not meet the "standard" - he weighs 8 lbs, he has an underbite, he is a tri-color, marked beautifully and just so sweet. We choose him with great care as to how our other animals would accept him - both 11 year old fixed females - a springer spaniel mix at an indoor cat. I guess what I wanted to hear (which I realize I may not get) is from someone who keeps unaltered males as pets and what they see as far as changes.
