I have a little boy and I love him to pieces!!! He is very sweet, affectionate and loves to give kisses. He is also more attached to me than he is to his daddy (I think the boys are always closer to their mommies). He is 7 months old, not neutered and starting to mark but we are still working on potty training so I hope to correct that behavior as well. I have never had a female so I can't speak for their qualities but if all boys are as sweet as my Nikko I would definitely say get a boy!!
