I personally always wanted a male pup. When I went to the breaders house to hava look see at the pups, a female came to me & would not leave me. Her brother (max) came over to spend some time with me while i was there and I got totally attached to the little man! I definately do not regret getting my boy!! As far as affection is concerned, max would rather play with me than get affection from me!! but he is a hellova energentic little guy!! Good Luck with your choice!!
