I know several of our rescue dogs were a little aggressive prior to being spayed/neutered and afterwards, they calmed down a lot. One, we didn't know how old she was and one was 3 yrs old.

I think it is best to have her spayed because my vet was telling me about the problems that can happen w/ older dogs that have not been spayed/neutered (health issues), but I don't know because I don't have one that old.

You may want to talk w/ your vet and see what they think.

I know AlaskaYorkie (Mike) may be able to offer some help/support. I believe Jack (maybe) was older too when he was neutered (I think).
