He can become anxious and moody, and aggressive. Being hit by a car is the number one cause of death in unneutered males. Right now your little guy is basically the same as a young boy, however once the hormones kick in, he'll be like a teenager looking for love in all the wrong places. Neutering help keeps them a healthful happy puppy, instead of a raging bull.

Also neutering prevents a lot of prostate problems that a dog can occur in his older years.
