As my search for a new pup begins, I am still very undecided as to which sex I want.

I thought male so that I couldnt compare it to Millie but I am a bit concerned about the smelly bellies & the marking.

I am also undecided as to whether to neuter/spay next time, so at least with a male its less of an ordeal than for the female.

I would also like a second one of the opposite sex in the future (obviously having to have one of them spayed/neutered).

Does it make any difference which is the new one?

I was thinking the male might be more inclined to mark if a female pup is brought in, whereas if the female has been there and the male has grown up with the female, it might not be as territorial.

I am waiting on a breeder to give me a ring to view 2 male pups she has in the next week or two.
