Anesthesia is the risky part but today even that risk is minimized with the drugs and surgery protocols we have today. So I would weigh the pro's and con's of getting him fixed. To me, neutering settles a male as far as the constant need to mate and "mark", makes them less frenzied and aggressive but leaves the personality intact. Plus, no unwanted puppies ever. I personally think the risk is worth all the positives.
