Puppies and Adorable Adults To Adopt

 We'v have always been told by families who have always owned female dogs that a female puppy is a better choice for the following reasons:

 females are a lot “sweeter” than males,

 females do not have any bad habits.

females just make better family pets.

We've have always been told by families that have always owned male dogs that a male puppy is a better choice for the following reasons:

males are a lot “sweeter” than females,

males do not have any bad habits.

males just make better family pets.

From our personal experience and from speaking with families that have adopted a female or male puppy we have found the following to be true:

Either sex can and do make for a wonderful pet!!!!

 As far as physical differences go we know the male and female anatomy is different and that's about it.

Just be sure to neuter your male puppy so that he will not develop those “bad” traits that give the male dog a bad rap.

He will not feel the need to lift his leg, hump or mark his territory and not all male do this.

Sometime neutered males will squat just like females and never lift a leg.  

Just be sure to spay your female puppy so that he will not develop those “bad” traits that give the female dog a bad rap.

Females will also mark her territory, by peeing where they want too and are hard to house train and some females will even lift their leg. 

So don't crazy as this is only a male trait. It's not. Getting your pets, male or female does away with the marking of their territory. 

 A female puppy when spayed will loose a lot of her “bad” traits too.  Once you spay her she will not have a heat cycle every Six months and bring the mess that comes along with it. A female in heat can be moody & you will not have to deal with her cycle once she is spayed. 

Now as far as attitudes go both sexes are very loving and always ready to please  

After owning both male and female pet dogs I have found not found a difference in their demeanor.   

  We have found that either female or male puppy are affectionate and loving.

A male or a female dog is always eager to please their pet parent. 

The females and males love to be in the center of the action & become a huge part of the family. 

A couple of other things to consider:

 The cost of neutering male is usually lower than spaying a female because the surgery is usually considered to be an easer procedure with a quicker recovery time for the males.   

Spaying a female is a more serious and an extensive surgery with more risk because of removing the uterus and all of the reproductive organs, this is why the cost is usually more & the female does not bounce back quite as fast as the male.  

 These were just a few thoughts on the subject and if you had your mind set on a female only, hopefully this has opened your eyes that a male puppy just might be what your looking for.

Either way you go if you fixed your pet you can't go wrong with either sex. 

Keep in mind every dog, male or female are individuals with their own personality & has it's own unique traits in every way.  A lot has to do with how well you raised and trained your puppy. You work with what you have in your puppy's trait to make it the best dog it can be. This goes for either a male or  a female.

What it comes down to is your personal preference and I respect this. I would never try to talk someone into a female if they want a male or vise versa.
