Should I neuter my puppy?

I've read Leerburg's info and all the threads on Neutering. And tons of other material, experiences, etc. I've gone through this 7 years ago with my Adult. But the more I read the less convincing the messages are on either side.

Do you think the Puppy's behavior (dominance) can be controlled by continuing to be a Leader? Or for ultimate security because both dogs are involved should the Puppy be neutered? If it was my decision straight-up I don't want to do it... but I don't want to miss my window of opportunity if it's the better thing to do!

Thank you,

I'm the only one who can make the decision so I am not looking for a "do it" or "don't" response. But comments regarding #1 and #2 will help me to be sure. I also understand the preference is to keep working dogs intact.

1) Given the puppy is tending towards dominance, setting aside health concerns and indescriminate breeding prevention - do you think people assume a neutered dog will be easier to "handle" instead of using solid training (like Leerburg) instead?

2) "Breeders" tell me IF I neuter the puppy while he's still a puppy he'll stay "sweet and gentle." It was said my Adult dog didn't change because I waited too long to neuter the Adult at 4 years. But I've also read, just like you said, a dog should be structurally mature. Can you see why this issue is Sooooo confusing?

I know you're very busy....and appreciate your time! I won't keep "bugging" you after this....

Thx
