i have to say the only difference between my girl and boy is my boy seems to be way more patient with the kids ect other then that they are both special for different reasons!

I've had many dogs as well. I have generally preferred to have girls bc of the leg lifting/ marking behavior with males. BUT, that being said, my Brooklyn- yorkie female- is fiercely independent, extra playful and not a cuddler at all. My dearly departed Spike- a pomeranian chihuahua male- only lifted his leg outside and was a snuggle bug. So yeah, it's definitely the individual personality of each dog that matters most. All my pets have been wonderful to me.

I only have had two dogs- the two I have now. One boy (possessive yet the biggest cuddler in the WORLD) and one girl (will walk miles and miles, still a crazy little puppy even though she's 1 1/2, full of energy, and mildly cuddly. They each have their perks. I did read if you get two, it's best to get one of each sex.

I personally prefer the females. However, my brother has male dogs that are the most sweetest , loving little guys in the world. My yorkie is very hyper , silly and an excellent watchdog. She loves to lick people and play with her shih tzu sister. I am anther one who rather not deal with the penis issues

However, the boy dogs I have been around are even more cuddly and babyish then the girls.
