I think when looking for a new furbaby it is best to go in with an open mind.. not "I want a ______. (male/female)" I have heard a lot about male v. female, but I have also heard an exception to every "rule" so, I think it depends on the individual dog.. they all have such different personalities. If you just go into it with an open mind.. I think you will have a better chance of bonding with the right dog for you.. instead of liking one then finding out it's not the sex you wanted. Don't know if this will help at all, just my
