Research the subject. One link was provided. There are many more links, information out there on the subject.
A female accordingly to one researcher is a bit different from the male. The pros/cons are unclear or at most 50/50 for the females, the males are a much different and clearer story.
If you are truly a responsible pet owner, don't let your male dogs roam, keep them on leash when outside,etc then you won't be contributing to the pet over population problem. For males marking is a behaviour, that yes can be trained out of most dogs. My male BRT does not mark in the house, nor does my male Yorkie. It took a lot more training for my male Yorkie than for my BRT. Neither fully intact male is dog aggressive, or for that matter people aggressive.
