Answer 1

Overall,females are far easier to train & are less aggressive in nature than males.
Perhaps, this is because,...like the human gender specific,...they are
better listeners,more attentive,& a mite broader between the ears than they are between the shoulders.'Nuff said.
Both genders have a +/- scale as the past respondents have pointed
out to you.
It's my firm belief that a name should be arrived at after a pet has been
given the time with you to develope a personallity.It's a tremendous aid
in choosing an original name.

Answer 2

Here we go with uninformed people again. A female is much more aggressive then a male in most breeds. In the wild most "pack leaders" are female, therefore the trait of aggression is instinctive. That being said, aggression in a dog is brought out by people incapable of training/raising a dog. A male that has been neutered can still do the "humpty" and mark.
You are in a very good position picking first. If I were picking from the litter (no matter the breed) I would sit and study the litter; see which pup wants to dominate the litter and which pup gets messed with, which pup becomes timid, and which pup tends to do things on their own. Of those I would pick the pup that does things on their own. No matter the sex of the dog. Good luck!

Answer 3

We call those Heinz 57 varieties. Pick one for your life style. You want a dominate one you have to deal with. High activity or a laid back, lover with low energy requirements. Do some reading and learn what to look for. You will be able to see their personalities almost from birth. Aggressive ones will be dominating the others (and he doesn't have to be the biggest) A sweet one will let you pick it up and handle it upside down and let you manipulate the feet and ears and hold it in your arms and it will lay quietly. An aggressive one which is cute, cute, cute, will grab and run and nip and run and pester you and try to push you around. An that is cute but when they weight in at 40 pounds it's not cute any more.

Do decide what you want and watch them grow. You don't want to take them from Mom until they are 8 to 10 weeks. She will teach them proper behavior. Watch what she does to them when they misbehave and you do the same.

Boys and girls make good pets, but have them neutered so you don't produce more pups to have to find homes for. We now kill thousands of puppies every years because they are not enough homes. Also, as a puppy handling and minipulating their little feet, ears and bodies engages their brains while they are forming their start up intelligence and they will later learn faster and more complicated things with this early handling. Start this within a week of birth.

Answer 4

This is a personal preference. All dogs have distinct personalities, just like people regardless of gender...but some of the difference include (but don't always hold true) are:

1) Male dogs usually get bigger.
2) It is usually cheaper to neuter than to spay.
3) Males tend to lift their leg to potty, females tend to squat.

You will probably find that the breed will better determine the personality of the dog rather than the gender.

If I were you I would let the puppy pick you, believe me it works! You'll see one, and you'll sort of just know.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Female and Male Dogs are Different.
There is some information below
that may help you pick your Gender Puppy!


FEMALES/ B I T C H E S
The following characteristics often apply to bitches:

1. Independent - Bitches tend to want to be in control of the entire situation. They may come to their owner when they are seeking affection but will often move away when they have had enough.

2. Stubborn - In many packs, a ***** is typically the Alpha. Female dogs crave more control of situations and are quick to respond to perceived challenges with fierceness.

3. Territorial - Female dogs mark in the same way male dogs do. A spayed female may continue to mark for her entire lifetime regardless of when she is spayed while most males will cease marking behaviors shortly after they are neutered and the testosterone levels subside.

4. Reserved - Bitches are generally less affectionate and friendly than male dogs. This characteristic is noticeable in puppies and becomes more pronounced with age.

5. Changes in Mood or Behavior - It is also important to note that if you do not spay your *****, she will come into heat at approximately one year of age and approximately every six months thereafter. During this time, there will be some bleeding as well as a change in mood or behavior.



MALES-
The following characteristics often apply to male dogs:

1. Affectionate - Male dogs are typically more affectionate than bitches. They tend to crave attention from their owners more than bitches and as a result, display more affectionate behaviors.

2. Exuberant - A male dog is also more likely to be fun-loving and outgoing throughout his lifetime than a *****. While a ***** tends to become more reserved as she ages, a male dog maintains a more puppy-like exuberance throughout his lifetime.

3. Food-Motivated - Males are often very motivated by food. This food motivation can make training extremely easy as treats can be used to lure and reward a dog to display desired behaviors.

4. Attentive - While bitches tend to be more independent, males tend to be more focused on their human companions. They want to always be close to the human and are very eager to please.

5. Aggressive Behaviors - It is also important to note that intact males may display aggressive behaviors toward other males or exhibit marking behaviors. Additionally, intact males should be kept away from females in heat unless a breeding is planned.



OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION-

Selecting a male or female dog is largely a matter of personal preference. The above characteristics are generalizations, and it is certainly possible to purchase or adopt a female puppy who displays male characteristics or a male puppy who displays the typical female characteristics. Additionally, bitches that are spayed and dogs that are neutered often do not have the gender-specific problems associated with their sex such as coming into heat or marking.

Answer 7

I actually prefer males. The males I've met are a bit friendlier and they tend to be attention seekers. (I like attention seekers. lol!) Though the bad thing is the leg lifting, but not all males do this. My male Chihuahua doesn't lift his leg unless he's out in the yard. (When he pees inside on the peepad he normally squats like a girl.)

Answer 8

It doesn't matter if it's a boy or girl - they will both behave exactly the same IF he or she is spayed or neutered.
By the way - a male will NOT lift his leg if he is neutered early before reaching maturity.

Answer 9

Girls girls girls. Tend to be smarter but they don't lift their leg, aren't as territorial, may not be as aggressive. I've had both and I've always been happier with the girls. But the bottom line is always how you train the dog.

Answer 10

It really depends. If you get a female puppy then you have to worry about "the time of the month" unless you get it fixed. Then if you get a male you have to worry about all the humping unless you get it fixed. Both are great. What kind of dog?
