Neutering is the thing to do according to so many vets and he could very possibly make a better pet if he has it done (not running after girls in heat and possibly not marking, etch.). There are health benefits to the surgery. What is rarely talked about are the health risks and there are some. Some say the health risks in neutering outweigh the benefits whereas spaying has so many health benefits, it is an easier decision. I think this is something that takes research and it is a very personal decision. It's important to know the health benefits and risks for both sides. Now if he is going to be left outside alone, then it may very well be best because we already have a pet overpopulation problem.

That said, if I had a male, I'd probably have it done because I wouldn't want to deal with certain behaviors, etc.
