You know, I have kind of struggled with this. Thor is really good about wearing clothes, and he's in SF, so dressing him up as a female could totally be this gender-bending statement. Everyone assumes he's a girl anyway.
At the same time, his first owner bought him all these clothes and dressed him up all the time, while ignoring basic stuff like walks and potty training. So I told myself when I got him that I was going to respect his "nature", as a dog and I guess as a male.
I guess also, he gets so much attention on the street already, the thought of people exclaiming over the cute little girl, then seeing his junk, and then me explaining over and over again that it's a Statement on Gender Roles... yeah, that sounds like too much work.
