My boys are more willing to please me, will do anything I ask....my girls well, on their time, if they want.

I originally wanted a girl, but Max's picture chose me. When I talked to his breeder about it, she told me the same thing you wrote.

I think in the training world, males are known to be easier to train?

I saw a commercial for Mary's movie star boy last night. Looking forward to the film.

My boy pups were a tad bit more calm (but they were pups/sold at 4 and 5 months - would be 7 months tomorrow) - one of the boy's new owners have commented how sweet and loving the pup is still; however, all my females are very attached to me and are very loving (both as pups and adults) - but clearly these females are strong willed, certainly two of them, one is very docile. I think how dogs behave is just their personality (though how they are raised would have some bearing). An aggressive dog by nature will be aggressive, a calm dog by nature will be calm, etc., etc., I really don't believe overall the gender of the dog determines their behavior, rather what is inherent to them as an individual.
