They are both really sweet. I have know Oscar, and he is an absolute goofball. Then there was Lucy, she was real sweet. My friend's dogs are all males. One is really hyper but cute, one is slowed down a bit but he's real cute too. Well, I could go on forever about dogs I know. But I'd have to say both are pretty sweet. If I ever got a dog, it wouldn't matter, but I am thinking male.
