I agree with the two posters above. The health benefits of having a dog neutered far outweigh any perceived idea that he will get fat and lazy as a result. I firmly believe that is down to how you "raise" them.
As Blinder said, no garden is secure enough if a female is in heat, I've heard of 13 foot fences being scaled with ease! (remember collies are one of the smartest dogs around). From the wording of your post I'd say he would have ample opportunity as he is largely unsupervised during the day.
I'm surprised the pound let him go without having him neutered or having you sign to say you would do it. When we adopted our collie we had to undertake not to breed from her.
I have a foot beagle. He is 11 weeks old. When should I have him neutered?
He is already very excitable and simulating mating actions on mine and other peoples legs.
