All my pets (2 himalayan cats & 1 yorkie) are female. I've always only wanted female animals. I'm not sure exactly why. I know I've always said if I had a child (which I don't plan to) it better be a girl because I wouldn't know what to do with a boy. Same with my pets I guess. With girls I get to name them pretty, feminine names and they're my little girls. I will never buy a male cat just because I like to buy females. I want a flame point himalayan one day and females are hard to come by (most orange cats are male). I would like to have 4 female dogs total eventually (3 yorkies and 1 maltese) and possibly one male yorkie one day (but I'm still undecided about that and he'd probably come last after I have all the girls). I wouldn't care if my females were a little older and spayed before I got them (my younger cat I got at 5 months old and she had already been spayed)...it's actually kindof nice to have it already done. With Lacy, I loved being able to name her a girly name and having her as my "daughter". Of course I love dog clothes and am just obscessed with cute dresses. They are making some cute boy clothes too but there are so many more cute girl clothes than boy clothes. The penis on male dogs kindof grosses me out too...it's just so obviously there and you can't cover it up. It takes up a good portion of their underside and it's hard to not touch it when you pick them up. for some reason it just grosses me out. At least if you grow their hair long, you can't see the penis anymore but then they pee on their hair and stink. Male dog urine stinks much worse than female urine too and is usually more concentrated. Rylie (parent's yorkie that I'm taking care of right now) peed on my carpet and it was so yellow! I had to scrub and scrub and there is still a stain there :( Also, male dogs tend to hump which is annoying. And the leg lifting annoys the crap out of my for some reason. I just don't understand why they can't just squat. If I get a male, he'll be neutered ASAP in hopes he won't develop bad habits, lift his leg, and maybe his penis will stay tiny. I know males tend to me sweeter and more clingy whereas females tend to be more independent but I guess I kindof like my pets to be independent (but still sweet and cuddly at times). I love Rylie but he will pester the crap out of me sometimes, constantly wanting me to play with him (whereas Lacy can entertain himself). Anyways, I guess I just really like having female animals because I just like having all "my girls" around. If I had a boy yorkie, everyone would think he was a girl because he'd be wearing bows and cute clothes (and I like the girly boy clothes). People have mistaken Rylie for a girl since I've had him. Also, males tend to mark and I know there are belly bands but I don't really want to have to use belly bands on one of my dogs

I have to admit...I can tell a difference between my boys urine and my daughter's little yorkie girls' urine.... The boys' is a deeper yellow and stains more so than the girls did....At least on my carpets...:(

Alex there are 3# Biewers and there are 8# Biewers. Just like people. The standard is 4-7# but some are bigger and others smaller.

On my website, under Meri & Tobias' pictures at 11 weeks 1 boy is 1.15#, the girl is 1.35# and the other is almost. 2 of the 3 will be small as adults.

Maybe the question I should be asking: I have one female biewer. Why should "you" be the one I sell to? Probably should start a new thread.....but we'll see if I get any response to this.

In response to who should get the puppy, I guess whoever you think would be the best home for that individual puppy. Now, how you decide who would be the best home, I don't know...that would be hard. I always wonder how breeders can know for sure that someone would make a good home for their puppies...even if you share e-mails, phone conversations, and visits in person - how do you learn enough about that person to know who they really are?

So that sealed the deal for her. Because her dogs loved me she let me take one. Oh and we'd had about 10+ phone calls and emails talking about them, each phone call lasted for 15 minutes plus.

I guess that's one way of figuring it out, dogs are great judges of character.

Now, having a girl and two boys, of course I love them all but I much prefer the boys. IMO boys are by far the sweeter affectionate sex. Mine do not lift their legs and I've certainly never noticed that their urine was any different than Gracie's. I do love the little girl's smooth bellies but I would take a little boy any day.
