We've always had male dogs - in fact, everyone in my family has always had male dogs. In my life, we've had 8 male dogs in my immediate family, all of which were neutered. Only one had a slight personality change in that he became a little less hyper? but after changing his diet, he gained his energy back. None of them have been overweight or anything like that, but I'm sure that changes like that are individual to each dog.
My pup, Ferdinand, isn't neutered but he will be on 2/8/07. We'll see how he reacts and if he stops marking (he's almost 8 months old). We weren't going to neuter him at first because we were going to stud him but decided not to for fear of personality change, aggressive behavior, etc.
