Yeah, I was wondering about not having him fixed. I've heard that it makes them healthier, to be fixed, as well as have a less aggressive personality, but I know it's a guy thing. And you may want him more aggressive.
I have a boy and a girl and live in the city, so fixing was a must. (Well, I got the boy from a rescue organization, so he was already fixed.) My boy got bitten on the nose, just a scratch, by a squirrel. The squirrel was badly injured but not dead, when my dog went to sniff him on our walk. I didn't see the squirrel, or I would've stopped him. Then the squirrel jumped up, bit my dog quickly and hobbled off quickly. Poor thing. He must've been hit by a car.
But when I looked at his nose, there was no blood, so I figured he was okay.
