Which is more loving/snuggly? Boy or Girl? I've posted a few threads about my fiance and I getting a puppy. We want a girl but now we're hearing different things. We've heard that boys are more loving. Has anyone found this true? My parents have a very loving shetland sheep dog mix that is about 6. She is VERY friendly and loving. We are hoping that our new furbaby will eventually get along with her. Can you please give me some feedback? I appreciate it!! Angela :aimeeyork |
You will get the affectionate girl or the non affectionate boy obviously but on average boys tend to be more affectionate than girls. |
I guess it would depend on how much time and effort you give your puppy. I have a male, and he is very lovable. He loves all animals and people!! He loves giving kisses! |
Boys are for sure more cuddly. Pebbles is way to independent. |
my little girl, billie, follows me everywhere and wants nothing more than to be in my lap and getting rubs all the time. she is a complete cuddle bug. my little guy, riley (aka ralphie) is completely high energy and a riot, but not nearly as affectionate. the only time he is super close to me is when he is sleeping! billie is 6, riley is 1. he might grow into super loving and cuddly, but so far not so much! the next pup (coming home in June) will definitely be a girl!! |
I used to think females were more affectionate, until I got my Barkley who seems to be soaking up all the lovin' we give him. Sooo, I don't think I can answer this one... They do have different personalities, tho'. Good luck with your search for your puppy! |

My girls prefer girls cause the other girls sniff their tail areas from a distance instead of the boy noses touching the tail area. :eek: A girl dog will sniff then walk away a boy dog keeps sniffing and sniffing and my girls are like QUIT already!! |
Of course, every dog is an individual but I have 2 girls and 1 boy. I always have had girl dogs and thought I preferred them but finally got my boy in Feb and I finally understand what those with boys are talking about. Someone recently described it as "girls do what you ask because they have to :rolleyes: but boy dogs do it because they want to." My girls are lap dogs but on their terms. My boy is truly a lap dog. He even lets my son carry him around and almost wraps his paws around my sons neck. And you know there is a reason they call girl dogs the "b" word. :p They are definitely a little moodier and not quite so happy go lucky. But really, I wouldn't trade my girls either! |
The breeder (and I use that word loosly here) that I got my little boy from talked us into getting a boy because they are supposed to be more cuddly, I have to agree with alot of the replies you already have, it's individual. He is VERY NEEDY and snuggly, I think I made him that way. I recently acquired a special needs little girl, at first she would have nothing to do with me, she's been here 7 weeks now and is as NEEDY as my baby boy, she had a vet visit two days ago and now she insists she can't walk due to arthritis, she also has arthritis in the neck due to a SHOCK COLLAR (she weighs 3 lbs btw), so today she can't move her neck. She is in my lap constantly and now I will spend the night with heat packs on her neck and take her in tomorrow and get a shot for her. It's individual, and I think it also depends on how much time you spend waiting on your little bundle of love. I spoil mine way to much so don't follow everything I say, I never put my little boy down for more than just peeing for the first 6 months of his little life, he was only 1/2lb when I got him. |

Thank you so much for all of these replies!!! We still want a girl though and are just hoping she is a snuggler! She will be our only pet and will be spoiled. So hopefully she'll soak it all up! ~Angela~ |
