Some of the benefits of getting your dog spayed is that you don't have to deal with heats and their temperament is milder. They are a lot easier to handle. Some disadvantages are that not getting your female spayed can help prevent some diseases in dogs. In addition, if you wanted puppies later on, you could not get them from your dog.

Does neutering a dog make a difference?
Well the main thing is that the dog/cat won't be able to reproduce. I've heard many things about neutering your pet. The one that interests me the most was that supposedly it will reduce the chance of your dog/cat running away. Dogs often run away because they are looking for a "bitch" (female dog) to mate with. Therefore neutering him will make him not want to find a mating partner. (To simplify it; the dog wouldn't be horny and wouldn't go look for a female dog to have sex with.)

Should you get three dogs if so what sex?
Assuming that three dogs would not be a financial burden on the family (considering vet visits alone), dogs enjoy being with a pack and having other dogs to interact with. If you plan to breed the animals, two females and one male would be best. If breeding is not planned, spaying/neutering is highly recommended and it then wouldn't matter what genders the three dogs are. Spaying/neutering is healthier for a dog, makes them calmer and less likely to run from home. Neutering males especially will minimize their instinct to roam and continuously look for females to mate with.

Providing both dogs are used to other dogs being around them, yes. However, NEVER introduce the two dogs insde a house - introduce them somewhere that is neither of them's territory (a park etc.) before putting them in the same house together. Remember that an entire male and female will almost certainly breed so you might want to consider spaying/neutering if you don't want to breed.
