I have a very unproven theory - that if the breeder is female the pups all sexes will naturally gravitate towards a female if there is one in their permanent home. In terms of sexes I believe personality or temperament is key - that is to say of your current dog or dogs and the intended future one. Two dominants are likely to rub each other the wrong way at least for a time until it gets sorted out. But I will tell you the worst fights I have seen are between female dogs - which is not to say I have not seen fights between males - but my experience is that it is much shorter and once over stays resolved. |

My boys are not the ideal pair because they are both very strong types. Would be better for one to be more submissive. Thankfully, Max, the top doggy, is patient enough to let his little brother get away with a lot. |
My breeder is female. All the dogs like me best. |
I do all the fun training. If we both call them they always come to me first. But that really doesn't me they like me best. I just like to think so |
I have a male and female. They are very different in their own loving ways. The male is more independent but has times when all he wants is too snuggle. At the dog park he will run and play with other dogs and people The female is more loving and wants to be close to me when other people or dogs are around so at the park she is right with me at all times and doesn't play much with others but she does try to be the referee when dogs start running and tussling. It's like she is trying to warn them that they can get hurt. The only time I have ever seen her really take to another dog was when someone brought a really tiny yorkie puppy into the park and she just loved all over it. |
Thanks everyone for the awesome advice. I'm going tomorrow for my final visit (my third) before we pick up in 2 weeks. Maybe I'll know after tomorrow??? Hopefully. I just can't wait. I know there will be times when I think what did I do? Max is just soooo easy...But, I know in the long run I'm going to be so happy we added another baby to our family. |
Good luck...I just got a 12 week old girl and I have a 7 month old girl. They are getting along great! The little one wants to do everything that big sis does, including pottying outside😀 |
I have had 4 females, three were 3 years part, they were wonderful with each other, older ones passed away, my baby was now 8 years old. I bought her a play mate, 8 week old female, the older one loved and play more with the new baby they she had with the older girls. All my girls are now passed, 18 months ago I rescued a 2 1/2 boy. I see no difference between male or female. my females were as cuddley as my boy is. Good luck in your decision. |
