Default Did neutering your dog fix his behavior?

I'm looking for info before I make that choice. I can't take him around other dogs without extreme training. (If that works??) He goes nuts! Word of choice....
He is the pick of the litter from a family of world champs. Info is on his web site.
It seems like a sin to change him to a regular dog dog than not to breed or show him.
So, Did neutering your dog fix his behavior?

neutering a dog can not fix the behaviour, if the dog has learnt to face other dogs with aggression.
Only if his hormone level shows an abnormality it will help, but only then.
But in the majority of cases these dogs have a generally shown aggression, against everyone and everything.

Mostly dogs have learnt to show aggression against other dogs, so neutering a dog will not help in this case.

when intact males get to the age where they can breed and understand the concept, the behavior you describe is somewhat normal and predictable if you have raised dogs as long has I have.
In more cases than not as I stated in your other post, yes this in fact can and often curbs the attitude as I pointed out with my German Pinscher. He was constantly having to be kept away from my intact Miniature Pinscher male due to aggressive behavior on both their parts. Once he was neutered his attitude toward the intact Miniature Pinscher totally changed and the Miniature Pinscher is no longer aggressive towards him. I have seen this for the past 50 years.
This is typical of intact males and territorial issues as well as when there is a bitch in season. Be reminded that we are not talking about a mature dog but one that is still in the true sense a puppy that is coming into age and has not yet matured therefore has not formed an aggressive behavioral issue but one that is tied to the process of maturing. Thus this is a common territorial display.
To an intact male, territory can be as large an area as they deem. Not just ones yard. Pecking orders are established and to an intact male, attempting to show dominance over another intact male is any everyday event at his age and will be unless curbed. Neutering takes this drive and does in fact curb it and as noted, in more cases than not eliminates it.

With just about all the foster dogs that I've had, neutering a male has had a very positive effect on their behaviour.

yes, that is correct, but only if the owner left room allowing the dog to make its decisions first.

Has the owner made clear the leadership, no dog would ever try to put its position into question.
