well, I've had both but I couldn't exactly count Layla as she was not really a normal dog. I voted males, at this point, most of the females I know tend to be submissive and I really don't know how to train such a scardy dog like my neighbor's dog. Niņo is also my perfesction and he's a male so that is why I voted male.
I like both. But, I would have to say female. All of my pets except Rufus are female, and they are the absolute most loving pets we've had. I've had a male before, but he had aggression problems (he was an ACD) My parents (mom and stepdad) were told he would get aggressive, and my stepdad got him anyways. He loved me to pieces though, but my heart and soul dog, Roxy of course, is female, so I definitely say Female!
I personally prefer Females. My only real reason though is that males mark. Charlie is good at home, but if I take him anywhere he wants to mark on everything.
I agree. I've been around a lot of dogs almost everyday for over 5 years.Quote:

It depends on the breed of dog whether I would choose male or female. When I was doing my practicum at the SPCA, the males were the ones constantly jumping in the kennels and barking, while the females waited patiently. The females were easier to treat, easier to walk and less aggressive. I voted male because I have always preferred males over females. :p
I voted males buuut I like both :) My Rebel is much cuddlier than Claire, I think it just depends on the dogs and their moods I should add, there are times when Claire is the biggest cuddle bug! :D
Yep...it is wonderful:DQuote:

But my boys, oh my boys! They are the sweetest most lovable goofiest guys ever:)
So I choose "undecided":D
I really do like both but I prefer males :)
I think the whole thing about, males being more goofy and cuddly just has to do with the breed and/ or your own dogs personality. imo
As Kay said, with my dogs, I see the exact opposite. Boo boo (male) would much rather you pet him once a day, and let him do his own thing. Where as Maggie and Autumn follow you everywhere, and beg to be pet and played with. I prefer females. :p
females for me. I have two females and one male. Molly and Astra are more lovable whereas Prince just wants to do his own thing. Prince loves to cuddle though. They are both really lovable and cuddly but Molly and Astra are more active and playful. I don't know but I choose females.
You know......I thought so, but still wanting to get a female pup. It is really great to get some.....knowledge to actually deal with. I have had MAXIMUS for five years. He was, let's put this delicately, 'done.' Jus recently, I have noticed that he IS less agressive. But, I also noticed, that he wanted these friends before 'the done deed.' Just a week later, he wagged and whinnedQuote:

them. I think, he wanted friends before. I was just too afraid to let him. I only wanted to get him 'done' so he could have friends. I know for a fact, he wants them. I wish that for him. You know, he'd rather have kids.......all the time. He wants people.........just someone other than me, I think.
And, Anna, your boys are and were just wonderful. I just imagine what ANGUS was....ooo! Just the original yummy. The boys are kinda great aren't they? Oh, and with boys.....I think the goofy is a given.
I love it.
