So far in my own experience...

Roxie is all girl. She is stubborn, independent, and high strung. She is perfect in every way to me, but she only wants me when SHE wants me. If there is something going on she is right on top of it. If there are other people around she likes to have all of their attention. She is all girl and she is great. She is a very jealous girl- if anything else has my attention she is needy and trying everything to get my attention.

Ryder is my mommas boy! He is the sweetest lover around. He wants nothing more than to please me and be with me. He is easy going and laid back. His whole life is his momma. He is spunky loves to play and wrestle but if I leave the room he is right there with me. He is very dependent and my big lap dog. He is the sweetest boy around, and his want to please me has made basic training much easier than with Roxie.

Best of luck with your decision. I love them both but I really prefer Ryders temperament over Roxies- he is just my sweet boy and she is my feisty girl. I love them both but two Roxies would be too much for me, plus I like how whatever I do Ryder is right there, where as Roxie is my girl too but she is less dependent on just me if there is some one to love on her she doesnt care.

I think that you will figure it out, it really didnt matter with us, Roxie is the dominant one in our pack (other than myself and hubby). But because she is we have added a boy and he found his place and now we were adding another newbie and chose a boy because she is dominant and I am hoping another boy will be submissive to her again.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated. They are soooo wonderful no matter what, but I do see what you mean about the difference in the lovey attitude vs. more fiesty, who cares, etc. I know what ever I decide the minute I hold that baby and it is mine, it will be perfect to me in everyway.

:thumbup::thumbup: That is exactly right- I thought I would never have a male, I didnt want the marking and bad behavior but then Ryder came along and I fell for him immediately and now I am getting yet another BOY! They choose you so boy or girl it doesnt matter, check out lots of pups and see what ones want your attention! Best of luck!

I have two girls and one boy. Peanut (female) 4 years, Tigger (female) 1 1/2 years is a tomboy. Chewy- male (1 years). Peanut is all girl, girly, can be really moody, and sassy, but very sweet, but super lazy will only run if you tell there is someone there, loves woman more than men. Tigger the tomboy grew up with Chewy and always played with him, very active, plays catch, fetch, anything to run, most aggressive, very protective of my bf, loves men more than woman. Chewy, plays catch, not active like Tigger, sweet, love woman more than men. So it all depends on the dog because I have feel like I have a mixture of all the personalities in my three dogs. They are all so different and I love them for all different reasons.

My Rita is like your Peanut, all girly. She lays around and looks pretty. Rita only runs for two things, doorbell or dinnerbell! She gets really pissy with the boys if they jump up too close on the couch while "her magesty" is sleeping! Rita doesn't come when I call her unless it's to her advantage, if she doesn't feel like getting up, she won't, it's all about her, ya know. Scooter is my wild man, running around like he has a case of ass on fire most of the time, LOL Harley plays as best he can (8 yrs old) but is more relaxed than Scootie. They are all so different, I love each one for thier unique personalities, but to be honest, I prefer boys. I guess that's why Bandit & Peanut make boy # 3 and #4.:D

That's exactly how Peanut is (like Rita) only runs for doorbell and dinnerbell, how funny. Did you get Rita first and then the rest because I got Peanut first and she was the only child for a long time and became accustomed to being spoiled and doesnt like it when someone else gets to close to her or if the other dogs are getting more attention than her..lol

My male who is 11 mos now is very active and playfull,loves to play ball and with his toys. my female is more proper and very stubborn..she likes to pout if she doesn't get her way..she will lick you to death and cuddle only when she wants...my baby boy has to be on your lap anytime you sit down..both are loving and I like having one of each gender...the different personalities are what make them special..in my case the very different personalities may be that my female jada is a 5lb yorkie and my male bogie is a biewer..who knows but they are both special and unique.
