males or female dogs-

[luvofallhorses]

I think the girls are more affectionate, I've had mostly male dogs in my life and a few girl ones. but I think both of them are smart, although the males can be wild.. but so can the girls
..and of course the males are sweet, too. It just really depends on the dog..not really the gender of the dog. AND
I don't have a preference on the gender. but all of my dogs are affectionate and I have males and females all fixed of course. I do think some breeds are more affectionate than others and some are just independent dogs and not all that cuddly. but it's not the breed, really it just depends on the dog's personality imo.

I think a lot of times it depends on the breed, but overall, I wouldn't say either gender is sweet or smarter than the other. I do prefer females though (in Tollers and Belgians, anyway), simply because they are smaller, aren't as heavy in coat, often seem more active/exuberant, like to be close to you but aren't as glued to your side as males, I prefer a more feminine look, etc. Of course, there are exceptions to everything I just listed. I highly doubt I'll ever have any more male dogs..though I've thought about getting a male Toller someday.

Female; Less likely to roam. Not that it doesn't happen.

Hmmm..I'm having a hard time deciding...
Cody (RB) was loving and smart but so is Logan. I think Logan is a bit more "needy" because of her past circumstances, and just maybe my training skills are better too... (doubtful)

The main difference is that Cody was the "pee* king , and loved water, whereas, Logan has amazing bladder control and isn't crazy about water.

Like people, I think every animal has their own special personality.

I prefer males over females. Most of the males I've known have been smarter and had a better personality than the females.

Of course, a dog is a dog, and I'd happily take either male or female anyday.
