My family went to see two litters of 4-week old Bischons today. As a group, the males seemed more active and inquisitive and the females more passive/timid. Is this typical? Does it pass?

I am going to speak from personal experience: I have had both a female and a male Bichon Frise. (both are now deceased) My little girl was more timid around people, but both were loves. My little guy always was the one with the curious personality and so much more personable. He was never one to wander, he always stayed close by. At 4 weeks of age it is still a little early to decide on the personality traits of the pups. Go back again in about two weeks and see how they have matured.
Just for the record, the Bichon is the best of the best. You cannot have a better companion pet. Just will love you forever and forever.

I have a female Bichonpoo (Bichon Frise & Poodle). She is a mellow dog but she is active during playtimes and is very inquisitive.I don't think it matters so much the sex as it does the individual personality of the dog. I do however find that females are easier to train and have longer periods of concentration than males.

It varies a good bit. Males as a rule seem to be more active and ornery, but some of the puppy names of female dogs I bred were Ferocity, Hellion, Demon, She-Devil, and Itty Bitty Badness. : ) And boy, did they earn those names.

It all comes down to the
' Hunter .....Gatherer // active \inquisitive
or
'Nurturer' // passive..... timid
Even in the animal kingdom.
Not to hurt anyone's feelings, but, the smarter of the two will almost always be, the female.

I've had both male and female puppies. I feel that the female puppies are easier to train and are more calm than the male puppies.

Both sexes will be more content and attentive if you have them spayed/neutuered. Unfortunately, a lot of male dogs will continue to mark their territory and lift their leg on your furniture even if they are spayed and there are no other dogs around. I have always found male dogs to be more hyper.

Makes no difference, its all genetic and inherited behaviour
