Male or Female?

[Danegirl2208]

Which gender do you prefer when it comes to dogs?

[zoomer]

Females. Males tend to roam more, and I perfer my dog not peeing on mailboxes and garbage cans

Females, for sure. I've had male dogs before, and while I love them, there are a lot of qualities that I don't like aswell. I only want one more male dog in my lifetime. In 'my' breed (Toller) the females are smaller, more agile, loving but independent at the same time (males are like velcro...I like to have some space), more active, and they seem to put more 'umph' into anything they do. Though, they are more difficult to train as they aren't as willing to please as the males are but I can live with that and actually prefer it to a dog with an "I'll do anything to please you, just ask!" sort of attitude. Of course, I'm just speaking in general and this doesn't apply to all males or females but this is what I've experienced.

i personally prefer males..ive only owned one female infact (chloe) , the rest have been males..i dont know, theres just somthing i like more about a male dog. in my experiences males have always been more lovey dovey and laid back.. while female seem to be more independent and moody.

Males.
Only because I've never owned a female dog in my life so I can't compare the two...

I honestly prefer male dogs. In my experience they're more clingy, cuddly and willing to please than the females. Females are more serious and independent. However, I do think it depends on the individual dog, *shrugs* for some reason I still prefer males. Also living with three females and two males the girls get into little squabbles and fights muuuuuuuuch more often than the boys.

My mom absolutley despises male dogs so the only males in the house are my dogs that I take care of and pay for. If it was up to her she wouldn't own a single male. In her mind thier all marking machines even though our girls seem to mark much more than the boys.

Males, for the reasons mentioned already.

I've only had males so I'd have to say males. I like the way my boys are.. I don't know if all males are like this, but my boys are very clingy and will follow me from room to room. I also like larger dogs.

I'm getting a Belgian puppy in a couple months. If I could have it my way, I would get another male. But with one alpha male, and one constantly-tries-to-be-alpha male, a third one would just be pushing it.. especially since the pup will remain intact while I show it.

Males, as sarah said, for the reasons already stated.

[Glacier]

Although my soulmate dog is a female(Sleet), I prefer males, only because a male is much, much easier to integrate into a pack. I could add 10 new males to my pack without as much trouble as one new female would cause!

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

I prefer males...

* GASP ! I can't wait for pics.


Wait a minute. You live in BC..... You're getting a belgian pup in a few months..... You will show it, so it will be of good blood line.....

Visa lives in BC..... She's purebred..... And pregnant......

( can you see what I'm thinking? )

I voted *doesn't matter* because if I was ready to add another dog it really wouldn't matter. I have found, though, that out of the six poodles that I have had the two males I've had (Ripley is my current one) that they are way more affectionate and clingy. The females, though lovable, do have an independent streak at times.

[zoey]

Both. It doesn't matter, though the last 3 I've take care of have been female. All 8 of Daisy's buddies at work are male. I love both, so much!

female, its my fate lol when I got both Happy and Misty I went looking for males and wound up with females, when I was looking for a toller pup, I was thinking about trying for a male again, but decided to just skip a step and look for a female lol and low and behold? I found just the pup I was looking for..and she's a female lol
