I have had 3 male dogs neutered. Basil (RIP) and Spike were both done as puppies and Sugar was done at 1 1/2 yrs. Neither Basil nor Spike showed any personality changes and neither gained any weight. Sugar did seem to gain a little but he needed to. He was so bony before and now he has filled out some. He's only 3 pounds so I was thrilled with this. The only thing that changed personality wise is the marking, humping and erections stopped completely. I agree with what so many have said- I would not own an un-nuetered male. I'm not a breeder and so it would be unfair to the dog as well as me.
