I do spay my females though for health reason and for not getting puppies.
You and I are at totally different ends of this fence. LOL I wouldn't take a dog that wasn't neutered. The younger the better as far as I'm concerned. I let one dog go longer and I hated it.

Intact male dogs are yucky. Humping everything, so full of boy hormones, and IMO they are more stinky too. Ugh! His male brother that we neutered younger actually looked the more male of the two... BTW none of my boys have ever had a messed up penis or grew too tall or any of that.
