I hate to tell you, but it will probably get worse as he gets older, especially if he is used as a stud. Being bred can trigger all sorts of objectionable sexual related behaviors. These personality changes should be factored into any decision to breed. A neutered dog makes a much better pet.

I totally agree! My MIL's yorkie mix has not been fixed and he is very sexually driven and territorial. I thought I didnt like males because of his behavior, then I got Ryder and he is GREAT! He was fixed at 5 months and we have had no issues with potty training our marking- I actually prefer his temperment and disposition, he is a great pet. Good luck!
