Male dogs are bad

[.sarah]

So, sorry to ramble, but except for the 3am pee outings, I have no preference. I just never met a dog I didn't love. When I ever get another, it'll be by personality. not gender. But since I'm outnumbered by male humans in the house, I may just get a female to even things out!

I understand where you're coming from. If I didn't have any dogs I wouldn't care what gender I got either. I do prefer males but personality differs more from dog to dog so I would go by that before their gender. But, with three females already, a male is definetly all I would get. Actually, Luka and Nova aren't my worry, it's Mandy.

Thanks for your input though. I'll definetly direct my mom to this thread when we decide on getting a pup. Everyone's said exactly what I need her to hear I think it means more when it comes from more than one or two people, you know? She's just stuck on the bad experiences she's had with males

My observations are that females are less likely to mark, but more independent, and prone to agression. So males are more likely to mark (but that may just be unneutered males), but are also more loving and laid back.

A lot has to do with the individual dog though.
