Some of us are what I call Male Mommies, and some Female Mommies, and I suppose some may not definitely gravitate towards either sex.

I've not found it too hard to train the males, some challenges sure; and I'll chat about that in a minute.


I think overall Yorkies might be a bit harder to house train then other breeds. But that just means you really really have to be on top of the business of house training.

Now in my experience the females do tend to be a bit moodier, even the spayed ones. And oh my the unspayed ones....God grant me the patience! Which he has, but sometimes I find difficult to deal with. Also most passive/aggressive dogs I've dealt with have been females. I know this is a bit of anthropromorphilizing (sp?) but females in my experience in obedience, kind of resist subtly, then give you that look.. do you know what I mean? A sidewise glance that says, okay whatcha going to do about this slow sit, or yeah I heard you say come, but off I go.........

Now my males, don't resist subtly, they say to your face Nope no way Not going to do that!. they challenge you face to face as it were. I much prefer that! So you take that challenge and meet it head on. And then, they submit or obey if you will; and no moping or any hard feelings.

To me males are often more up front, and yes gosh do they bond with their Mommies. Totally always loyal to a "fault". Yet my males can and are often independent of me, but are there in a flash if I need them. What else can I say? We are just so sympatico with each other.

Hope this helps.
