Keeping an unaltered male, especially for breeding purposes, is not for pet owners. Have you seen people who own kennels? They have them because in most cases you just cannot keep breeding males in the house or around other dogs. You are dealing with hormonal issues here not just bad behavior. The dog that is unaltered is living by primal instincts. It can smell females in heat that are miles away and it stresses him not to mention that the hormones are calling the dog to wander and find a mate. He does not want another dog around except a female in heat. That is pretty much all your male is thinking of day and night. It protects what it considers it's territory. The male does not think or feel or reason as a human. It is driven and tormented by hormones. Just as a female has no control over it's heat cycle the male has no control over it's desire to breed and protect. Do your dog a favor and get him neutered. If someone wants a litter of puppies tell them to go buy a pup. It is not worth putting yourself and that poor dog through what is going to happen to him.
It takes several months for the male hormones that have gone through the dogs system at maturity to settle down but you will eventually see an improvement in his behavior. The sooner you get it done the better off you and he will be. You cannot expect better behavior out of him until he is neutered.
