Enlarged prostate in dogs who are intact is just as common as with intact humans. It's part of getting older.
We use liquid nettle, about a dropper full on his food every night.
Did you find any benefit with his aggression issues?

It is for this reason that I have and will continue to advocate early spay and neuter, early being five to six months of age for females and as soon as the testicles descend for males.

Plus sometimes with say, a tiny uterus, surgery time can be a little longer due to working with reduced models of the real thing, .

I have very little experience with unneutered dogs in sports/work, but I know in horses geldings (neutered males) can do exactly as well as stallions in many sports, even though stallions are usually favored, likely for post-career breeding.

This has come up a couple of times...but I don't think I've actually heard anyone here say that the reason they're not altering their dog is to preserve drive/stamina. I've heard myself and others say that there were health and structure reasons not to s/n their sports dogs, but that's been it.
I'm certainly not keeping Fig's balls for drive reasons...I don't think the little things are making him who he is in terms of drive and stamina...but I think they're helping keep him sound.
