Male vs. Female for a First Timer - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i have also heard that male pups bond better with female owners... the biggest reason i have a male is because he was so much cheaper... i can't even believe i paid so much for him, but he was worth every penny!

i had a dream before i got my little man that i was going to get a girl puppy, but when i went to the breeders, the girls were just more money. so i got a boy.

if you can't decide, let your wallet decide for you, that is what i did!

A female no marking

I like girls. They don't lift their leg or 'mark their territory'. My best luck has always been with girl dogs. I currently have 5 girl dogs ranging from my 6 lb Yorkie pup to my 117 lb Shepherd/Chow mix. They all get along great. I say girl.

well i dont live in a apartment BUT i have a little boy and i love him to death. when we are playing he can get a little fiesty but other then that he's my little baby. he didnt mark or hump at all before we got him fixed either. i also have a german shepard girl and they get along great. although she can get moody at times. i personally dont mind either male or female.

I chose a female, and she humps her soft toys! She marks too....

I don't think it's true that females bond better with men, and vice versa, because my Milly doesn't ever leave my side, and my friends say they've never seen a dog more devoted to its human

Perhaps if I lived with a man she might have migrated more towards him, but as it's just me, we have developed an incredibly close bond.

I did read that female Yorkies tend to be the more watchful (and therefore the more vocal) sex, and this is possibly true. My little girl thinks she is a guard puppy!

Neutering young will usually stop the marking and the humping. Boys are lovers and sweet and "velcro". They live to love you. A female is more independent, and moody. I am male crazy! I Love my Girls, but oh.. them boys!!
