This New York magazine article "Dog Identity Politics" has many  
referential quotes and studies...

?The thing about mandatory spay-neuter,? says James Serpell, ?is that  
those who are most willing to have their dogs spayed or neutered tend  
to be responsible people. And often, their dogs also happen to be nice  
animals in temperament. So what you?re doing essentially is taking  
those dogs out of the breeding population.? McMurtrie echoes Serpell?s  
concern. ?It?s hasn?t gotten widespread enough yet,? she says. ?But if  
it did, it could be catastrophic.
