females are priced higher because they could potentially be used for breeding ...... i have owned both male and female dogs and i have to say that i prefer female (i have a male right now, but i couldnt afford a female at the time)... i think it is really just a preferance, temperment varys from dog to dog
I dont think you are shallow at all, i often wish that i could carry toby in a carrier instead of leaving him at home, but at close to fifteen lbs this is an impossibility
Good luck |
