I prefer males. I feel they are less work than the bitches.

I don't know whether this is true or not, but I heard that dogs are more faithful to women, and bitches are more faithful to men. I'd be interested to know if anyone could confirm this.

it could be true i must admit i felt safer with my female dogs then with my male, but i'm sure my sam lwould ook after me if i was in trouble

i got a male first and learned the hard way , learned alot and then got my dakota , tbh personally females are far easier to deal with imho , males are boisterous pups but just as loving and eager to please with a major cheeky streak thrown in for gd measure lol

Nitro was always with me and very protective to my sister and i(if anyone came into the yard he would stand between them and us) and now Harley is the same.

I guess it's up to u but i know it'll be a cutie.

I've had both, and I'd always go for a male in the future. I prefer the challenge!

And yes, a male IS a challenge. They're stronger & more single minded & more likely to get you into trouble, but if you socialise & train then you shouldn'r have too much of a problem. If it's your first dog, though, it might be best to go for a female first & learn the ropes so to speak.

you know id beg to differ on the socializing your dog part , shady was well socialized and he still has his moments with other dogs at times

Just generalising. I know what you mean, Bandit was socialised as a pup & he hated most other dogs!!

Very well put.
