In my adult life I have had 8 / 9 female puppies, the last 4 were yorkies, I LOVE girls. Nov.12 will be 2 years I adopted my first boy, he was then 2.5 y/o he is now 4 y/o. He was neutered at 1 year old (I have some of his medical papers prom prev.owner) he does not hike his leg, the one time he did was last year when I was walking along a wooden fence, I guess other males had peed on it so up went the leg, I freaked out lol. Now when we walk in unfamiliar places I keep farrrrr away from fences, walls, trees, anything that would cause leg hiking. As far as personalities male vs females, I myself do not see any diff. my girls were sweet lil cuddle bugs, I only had one sensitive little girl that you could not scold or raise your voice to her, she would pout and punish me by going under the bed for hours, which ended up with me on the floor BEGGING her forgiveness and coaxing her out with treats lol, it broke my heart that I hurt her feelings, at that time she was the baby in a pack of 3, the 2 older girls pampered her, cleaned her, guarded her, she was the favorite of my entire family and friends, more spoiled rotten cos she was the smallest of the pack at 9 lbs. and a personality that would melt your heart. My boy is very much like my girls, he sticks to me like glue, he needs to be pressed against me if I am sitting down but so were my girls. If I had no dog and had to choose between girl or boy, I would choose a girl, especially now with all the frilly bows and dresses. I am partial to girls, maybe because I never had a girl child only a son.
