If there is an underlying medical condition - such as an undescended testicle - that is a medical/health reason to neuter.

Behavioural benefits are iffy. Some do, some don't after a neuter. The research at this point is equivocal. So basically don't count on it, if you expect a neuter to guarantee there will be no marking, or no humping.

And I would clarify that this is what I would suggest at this point in time for toy dogs. Large breed dogs are different.
Agree 100% about letting them come to adulthood. My current vet told me to put it off as long as possible
