The only thing that has kept me away from males is my fear of marking. I'm struggling to not make a rash decision but am really struggling to not call and say I want the little lover that was wooing me yestersay  . As I was leaving heading back home, I must admit I named him Don Juan. LOL.
I will let you all know what I decided on this but as you can see I'm smitten |
Awww. This is so hard. I know because the puppy we planned on - went to visit and had pictures of - died before we ever got the chance to bring her home. Instead we got Lucy - (though she wasn't our first pick); she had always been in the back of my mind because she was so much friendlier than the other beautiful, but tiny, little pup. I wondered if she wouldn't be a better match for Ringo - because she was so outgoing. My son loved the other puppy (she was very beautiful) because she would fall asleep in his hands when we came to visit. Of course, now we know that the other little pup was very ill and that she why she was so quiet. At any rate, we did decide to bring Lucy home and her and Ringo are great companions.
I've had two male dogs - both neutered - and have never had any problems marking inside the house. Ringo does mark a lot on our walks; but that is to be expected.
Opposite sex dogs can make great companions. And if you love the breeder . . . .
Not that I'm trying to push you; it's hard because you've just had a loss. And if she will let you have him for a month to see how they get along - that's pretty good. OF course, she knows that it will be hard for you to bring him back after a month!
Hang in there; follow your heart and continue to make wise choices.
