What gender should i get?!
 

I don't yet have a Yorkie but I'm choosing one soon
I'm trying to decide which gender to get.. i want a dependent puppy that comes to me for everything. I want a girl to dress it up but i want a boy because i guess i like boys more? And i heard they are more dependent. Not sure which one to choose though... Please help.. :confused:

OH and I want a gender that's REALLY REALLY hyper/energetic!

As far as being dependent, I think it really depends on the pup. My friend has one of each and the female is way more dependent than the male. I can't really tell you about getting a boy dog because both of mine are females. I can tell you that I love dressing them up!! And putting bows in their hair! :) It is just too fun! I love both of my girls and wouldn't trade them for anything!

I have one of each. They both like to snuggle. Good luck

I hope you have found a good breeder. They should be abel to match you with a puppy. What sex is not as important as the temerment. Tell them exactly what you are looking for. Reading some training books will help you learn how to be a good leader. I suggest Dog Perfect by Sarah Hodgson. Best wishes and good luck in finding the perfect puppy.

I don't have a boy but I have heard they are more loving than girls, not really sure how that could be because my little girl is as loving as they come. If you can I would go look at girls and boys and see which pup chooses you. You really can't go wrong either way

I agree that you can't go wrong either way. I have a boy because I have always like male dogs better. Max is my baby and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world but I have to admit that I am dying to get a girl!!! The dresses and bows are so cute.

There was a woman on this forum who couldn't decide on this issue either and she went to the breeder and "felt out" the puppies to see which one she connected with. I (sort of) did the same thing but my mind set was stuck on boy. Anyway, I think that you could try feeling it out or just get both!!! LOL!!!

P.S. Max was the best thing that ever happened to me and I think you will feel the same way no matter what gender you choose. Send pics when you decide!!

I would ask to meet the puppies before deciding on a gender.. you may bond with a puppy immediately and then you won't have to choose a gender because the puppy will be choosing you. That's how my cousin picked out her dog... Luna picked her.

My male is different in personality to my female but similar in lots of ways. Both are mommy's babies, and stay tucked to mommy, but the female is turning out to be more 'dog-like' in 'shadowing' me and wanting to please me where the male is turning out to be more 'toddler-like' and 'cat-like' and will go off on his own sometimes...he wants to please but relishes having you please him more, fetch his toys for him, and he plays little jokes and games on you. You have to fight the male over the clothes at least as much as the female...he'll grab his clothes out of your hands, and complain to Daddy if Mia gets dressed first instead of him...they both LOVE clothes! Brody will also reject wearing Mia's clothes...he knows the difference. At this moment, the male is laying by my legs on the love seat wearing a dark blue hoodie that says "Mommy's Tough Guy" and the female is lying on the floor in front of the love seat with her head on my sandal wearing a pink and black ruffled dress that says "Glam Girl" and coordinating a black and a pink scrunchie entertwined together. The male is more relaxed about getting his top knot put in than the female...now, anyway...but they both resisted at first and have gotten used to it...and he is generally more laid back where the female is more hyper, but then they'll switch, too, sometimes. They have basic personalities but are variable in executing them, I guess. They both love to be held and carried, love being carried in a purse, love to lap sit, snuggle, cuddle, kiss, and get belly rubs, and sleep touching you. The boy is very toy and treat centric where the girl is laid back about such things. She'll take a toy just to taunt Brody, though, so she has her own sense of humor and joke-playing, too.

What I think I am trying to get across is that each pup is an individual...so...there is no 'answer' to this 'trick' question...IMHO...lol

I'd forget about the gender and find 'the pup' that has the basic personality you want and meets your expectations...with the understanding that they do sometimes change as they grow up. If it's a girl, cute girlie clothes...and if it's a boy, there are lots of really cute boy clothes, too. Mine...Brody and Mia...draw a heck of a crowd when they are dressed up and out in public...THEY LOVE IT!...and if you dress them up and take them out, it better not just be for a 'ride'..they want to go somewhere or they may 'pout' and refuse to allow you to undress them until their viewing public all get to coo over them and pet them!

A friend referred to them today as the 'Emperor' and 'Princess'...nuf said...and even knowing this, their mommy and daddy love them to pieces! :D
