[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a seven month old rescue puppy and I’m similarly agonizing over this. We’ve done a lot of training snd socializing and he’s a wonderful wonderful dog. No anxiety or stress, very friendly and social. Im mostly worried about the impact of neutering on his behavior. Im worried he will change behavior-wise. [/quote]
It has not been my experience that there were any negative behavior changes in my own dogs after neutering.  I have, however, noticed that most of the territorial aggression that I have witnessed is from unaltered (both male & female) dogs. [/quote]

+1. This is the first I am hearing about anxiety or stress related to neutering or spaying. Neither have ever had any negative impact on my dogs and any behavior changes have been for the better (less wandering, less aggression, less likely to remain in the "boundary testing" phase). That is with neutering/spaying at or after 6 months of age. I wouldn't do sooner, though I understand why rescues and shelters do. Most of the territorial aggression does seem to be from the unneutered/spayed. [/quote]
