IMHO I believe neutering is the way to go.

My reasoning behing neutering is also because there is an over population of dogs already, why risk contributing to that? When Sparky finishes all his shots, I will be taking him to the dog park and our park do not allow unneutered males and females in heat. But believe it or not, there was one time (long time ago, when I had my first dog he was a schnauzer mix) that a dog owner brought his female in heat and there were rule breakers in there that had unneutered males...you can probably guess what happened next.

With that said though, it is your choice and what you think is the best for you and your dog.
