I would suggest it. It provides a significant amount of behavioral and health benefits, as well as helps control the shelter problem.
Keep in mind that there ARE risks associated with neutering, but pros outweigh the cons.
There is a document with all of this information on it. Let me see if I can find it for you.

in case you motive to reveal Gretel in AKC conformation shows, she should be intact. So neuter the male now to maintain away from any unintentional inbreedings. No, they don't lose their personalities. Tones them down only a wee bit, yet they'll nonetheless have "magnificent" personalities. what is going to replace them better than some thing is transforming into mature, putting out about 10 months by ability of two years or so. "I have heard that spayed canines can nonetheless get maximum cancers contained in the non-public area" What inner most area? they could't get maximum cancers of the uterus because it isn't there anymore. A dogs spayed earlier to her first season has basically about no danger of coming up mammary tumors, while a dogs this is intact has a 25% danger of coming up mammary tumors. She also has a 25% danger of coming up pyometra, a perilous uterine an infection. So really she has a 50% danger of having some thing somewhat severe by ability of the time she is 10 years previous--and it would want to ensue each and anytime. I had a showdog improve pyo at age 2.... "yet neither of my canines are territorial or aggressive" Your canines are doggies. you may no longer comprehend in the adventure that they'll be territorial and/or aggressive till about 2 years of age....

Unless you are a dedicated, ethical breeder, and have breeding quality dogs, there is no good reason not to have them neutered. There's very little downside, and whatever tiny risks exist are far outweighed by the advantages, such as not being at risk for testicular cancer. It may also make your dog a little easier to live with.

All dogs should be neutered. There are way too many dogs in the world to have proper homes for all of them, so you definitely shouldn't EVER breed.
Plus, it lessens the chance for certain kinds of cancers and diseases when they are neutered.
