It will be so much harder to introduce a new member of the family with an unneutered male. Then say you decide to neuter him after all to calm him down (again, this happened to us), but now he's much older and has a very high chance of something going wrong while he's under for surgery. Ours made it through surgery fine, but now he has problems with his pancrease, which he never had before. If you're leaning towards doing it, please, do it now while he is a pup. They are much more resilient and the hormones aren't completely set in at this point.
Very true!
