I'm not sure if there's a difference in how the dogs get along if they're male/male or male/female, but maybe you can decide which sex to get and convince your spouse at the same time. For instance, is Brody more bonded to your or your spouse? If he's more bonded to you, maybe you can present it to your spouse that you want to get another puppy - one that you hope will be bonded more to them. Then, you can choose boy or girl based on that. I've always heard that boys tend to bond more to their mommies, while girls tend to be more daddy's girls. That obviously isn't always true though, because Sukoshi is definitely more bonded to me than my husband, but I think it works in the majority of cases. |
