I have all boys and I love male dogs; however,all dogs have their own personality and I don't think one gender is better than the other. If your trying to evaluate which gender has a better temperment and is easier to train then I would think you would want to look more into bloodlines, etc. Sometimes I do wish I had a girl so I could buy her dresses and bows but I wouldn't give up Max for ANYTHING in the world. I think the most important thing is finding a good breeder. Good luck! I can't wait to see puppy pictures.
