  Males 
                            vs. Females!! 
                            I 
                            have had several people ask me lately which I prefer, 
                            male or female.  I honestly have to answer 
                            male.  With my personality, the male is just 
                            a perfect fit.  I tell people all the time 
                            if males could have babies I would have all males. 
                             They are so happy go lucky, playful and demanding 
                            of attention, where the females can be very 
                            temperamental. 
                            Most 
                            people want females because they believe they are 
                            getting a docile dog that will not be aggressive. 
                             This is true as long as she gets her way. 
                             They also believe that a female will not mark, 
                            but if she is not spayed she will.  I can also 
                            tell you that most of the time that there is 
                            a fight in the house involving the dogs, one of 
                            my females started it (and finished it).    
                            If 
                            there are no plans to breed, I suggest considering 
                            a male and neuter him early (around 3 months), because 
                            this should prevent the marking worries and 
                            the leg raising.  They are more playful through 
                            their whole life and they are more accepting of 
                            everyone in the family.   
                            Just 
                            some of my thoughts, but the final choice is yours. 
                             Do your research, talk to your vet, and choose 
                            with knowledge.
