I always love females because as a child we mostly had males. We only had one female during my childhood. Getting dogs spayed weren't popular back in the day (telling my age a little) . Now that people are more educated your pet doesn't have to puppies or go into heat. I always get my dogs spayed because I am not qualified to breed and I have no desire to learn. I also like to pretty up females but you can dress up males too. Actually I have a female bichon and she's a tomboy. She hates getting pretty up. She only likes a bandana and no bows.
