Many advocate neutering at a young age. My experience has been that as a young male dog develops, they get more confident, aggressive (not in a mean way),secure etc. if left intact. I have found this is especially so if the pup is a bit on the shy or insecure side. Once they reach about 2 years old they seem to have reached their emotional maturity as far as confidence and such is concerned. It is my experience that later neutering lets them develop their personalities more naturally including their drive and ambition. Again, that may be a controversial position.
Congratulations on the new pup.
