The puppy I was planning on getting was female. The rescue adoption company and called me to tell me that she.....is a he. I have always heard that females are better than males. Is this true? She is a lab/cocker mix.
If both are neutered/spayed it doesn't make much difference. Growing up I had mainly male dogs with no problems. However, DH prefers females because the few males he knew had the habit of lifting their legs in the house.
I told him I never had that happen, but he insisted that when we got a dog, it had to be a spayed female.
Females are usually master of the dramatic sigh, the sulk, and the prissy I-don't-hear-you-and-you-can't-make-me-look.
Males tend to be good old boys- goofy, slobbery, clumsey...you name it.
There are good and bad about both. Males mark, females go into heat...
Both can be great pets...
