My babyboy Snickers is the SWEETEST, most LOVING, baby ever!! He is almost 10 months old, is neutured, and just loves everyone and everything. His sitter and our painter who has spent much time at our home recently both said he has the most sweetest personality and is just too witty and playful. Anytime we are on the couch, he perches up to be with us, if we scratch or massage him, he gives us kisses right back. He was potty trained in about 3-4 months and everyone adores him. He gets more visitors than we do!! If I do get another, it will be another boy. I've had too great of an experience with my Snickers...he steals everyone's heart!!!!!
ps. I have never had a dog previously so I don't know about girls.
