There is no point in vasectomising a dog, you either castrate to remove hormones and organs prone to cancers and to make the dog calmer and more manageable or you leave them intact and deal with the behaviors that come along with it.

A dog being 9 months and intact still doesn't indicate his final disposition when he is fully adult and at full hormone levels.
You will also need to be careful in the dog park as intact males are much more likely to be attacked then castrated as other intact males view them as competition. A couple near me had their intact pug get attacked by a intact Doberman and it developed a cyst in its back pressing on its spine. $3000 surgery later the dog is still limited mobility in its hind end.

Get your dog a stuffed toy to hump and leave it at that, please don't breed him as about 90% of his puppies will end up put to sleep or shifted from home to home to home. Please think of all the puppies you will assist in killing by allowing him to breed.
