I have one of each..my female follows me everywhere, but, hates to be held(always has), she's almost 6..my boy is 3 and would be held by me all day if I would allow it..he's so much more loving..we just usually had females as we didn't want a male going around lifting his leg all the time..I was very lucky that I got him neutered young and he never started the leg hiking(which some boys have been known to do after the neuter)..but, I would say every male dog I know, tends to be more affectionate than the girls |
