...get a Yorkshire Terrier neutered or spayed?

I know the reasons why puppies should be 'fixed' - too many unwanted already, they mark territories, they go after other dogs in heat, etc. But I think quite a few people have not had their YT's fixed. I'm still considering a TY puppy and not sure if I should get them (it) fixed or not. I read that YT's are "sensitive" to anesthesia. Are these dogs so sensitive that it's not worth putting them 'under' to get fixed?

I don't have current plans to breed a TY, but if someone had a potential mate in the future - I might consider it at that time. BTW - I do plan on getting a purebred registered male YT if I get one at all.

Thanks for your thoughts.
