A girl...no, a boy....no, a girl....no, a boy...
 
Okay, I'm getting a new puppy in a few months, and when I first decided I wanted another one, I wanted a girl. I got Lily, and she passed away after 10 days.:( My hubby and I were talking, and I said I think I'd rather just get another boy so that Jake can have a brother. Then, I see so many of the girls here on YT, and think I want a girl. But, I love the disposition of the boys. Jake is so so so sweet, and although I know I won't necessarily get another boy with his disposition, I kinda like the idea of having two boys. Then, that would give me an excuse to get a third one....see, I'm thinking ahead.:D I'm getting the puppy from the same breeder I got Jake, but different parents. My husband thinks I'm scared to get a girl because of what happened with Lily, but that's not it.

I'd love to hear everyone's experiences with boys vs. girls.:)

Just get both the girl and boy pup now.... why make a choice!! :D

Best of luck with "whatever" new pup you get!!

Tillys_mom 08-03-2007 06:37 PM

I've only had female Yorkies but I kept a male overnight once and he peed on EVERYTHING!!! I was pregnant at the time and I couldn't handle it, I was suppose to have him for a week, so I took him back to his owner. That's the only thing I didn't like was he lifted his leg on my stuff.

mizzwanned 08-03-2007 06:41 PM

I say get a girl, it's great having one of both!! If you get another boy then i say get a girl as well :D It's good to experience each gender

Teddy pees on almost everything :( Tho I love him sooo much I don't know if i will ever get a boy again

wemple2 08-03-2007 06:47 PM

I have always loved the boys!!! Never had a girl, so I really have nothing to compare with. But I will probably always have a boy.

I'm lucky because Jake was really easy to pad train, and he doesn't pee on anything in the house.:)

TootiesMom 08-03-2007 07:16 PM

My boy, tootie is sooo fun and my girl Hopey is sooo prissy.... I love them both and wish you luck making this decision.... I think i have the best of both worlds and they play together so well... tootie LOVES his little sister!

I think you should go this route also!

MeganS 08-03-2007 09:04 PM

ah, just get one of each. :D haha. but there are pros and cons to each. I loved having 2 boys because when I called them I could just say "come here, boys" or we could refer to them as "the boys." But it's so much fun having a little girl to dress up and baby lol. Good luck!

scrapindee 08-03-2007 09:16 PM

Get one of each....it is so hard to decide.

Txgurl06 08-03-2007 09:45 PM

im in the same situation! im also trying to convince the parents to let me get another one!

MyFairLacy 08-03-2007 10:07 PM

:) I think you should get a girl :) Working at a dog boutique, so many people come in with little boys and I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard, "Oh, I wish I had a girl!" Then I always wonder why they didn't LOL. Or get a boy and a girl! One day I'd like to have a total of 4 yorkies at once..three girls and then the last one will probably be a boy.

MyTrixie143 08-03-2007 11:52 PM

I think you should get a girl!! It is great having one of each and usually when you get the opposite sex they get along so much better.

sweetsophia 08-04-2007 12:24 AM

I sincerely believe that males make better pets. My boy is so full of sweetness and if trained properly they don't pee anymore than females pee on the carpet that are not trained properly. Then you still have your excuse someday to get a girl!!!!

See how that works!! Best of luck with your choice!

chachi 08-04-2007 03:34 AM

I think you should get a girl so you have one of each. It is my girl who is sweet and cuddly

Yorkiekids 08-04-2007 03:58 AM

I have one of each, and I'd have to say Piper has a better disposition then Penny. Yet Penny is still a pup, and may grow up to be a calm collected little lady. We'll see. I do like the fact that I can dress Penny all up, and I would do the same for Piper, but there's not that many boys fashions.

tiggerr36792 08-04-2007 04:03 AM

I say get one of each and then you don't have to decide between the two!! Whatever you decide I know you will enjoy having a new baby in your home.

Uno baby 08-04-2007 05:02 AM

I chose a boy (first time dog owner, first time yorkie!) mainly because (and I hate to say this....but...) I'm 21, and boys are cheaper than females, and when I asked the breeder what her preference was she said her boys tended to be more sweet/loving and easier to train (*i'm not saying all, just her experience*) so I bought my boy. Now I wonder if a girl would have been different....:D I just keep telling myself "he's only 13 weeks...puppy stage...it'll pass...:eek: " . . .lol

No matter which gender you choose you'll love him or her tons. Good luck!

boys are the best!! and it will pass dont worry lol

Higgin's Mom 08-04-2007 06:59 AM

Higgins chose us!
 
I wanted a female. Really wanted a female. Went to a breeder who had two pups, a male and a female. The little girl wasn't the least bit interested in us. But that cute little boy was all over us. Kept running right after us and wanting to be picked up. Well, I mean, what could we do? And he's that perfect little kid!

judyeve 08-04-2007 07:26 AM

I'm so glad to read that you're ready for another puppy!

I have my little boy, and I definitely wanted a boy first. I do love male dogs.

My new one, little Gracie is a girl. I wanted one of each. I also didn't want another male marking - that was not fun!

But, in the end, I just wanted one of each.

Good luck with your choice. You'll be happy with either.

RMKC 08-04-2007 07:41 AM

I have both and love it ! My Boy has never peed on anything other then his pee pad, when we go for walks Rosi actually pees twice as much as Apollo. Good luck in choosing !;)

Scruffles4Ever 08-04-2007 08:10 AM

Boy! Boy! Boy! Go for a little brother! :thumbup: I must say that I am biased though because I love having my little boy and soon his brother will come home to us (Right now he's too young and he's still with the breeder).;)

Have fun choosing!

artie merlino 08-05-2007 06:04 AM

Boys Rule!
 
Artie is 3 1/2 yrs. old, Abigail is 2 1/2 yrs. old and Tiffany Aloha is their baby girl @ almost 4 lbs. and 1 yr. old. The male is very loving, affectionate, Learns everything very fast, he understands; English, Japanese and Filipino.
He Surfs, swims and will float around on an air mattress in the middle of no
where for hours as long as he is with me! My females on the other hand look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language every time I ask them to do any thing? They seem distant, moody and aloof. Sometimes even stuck-up?
Males tend to bond better with Women, and Females seem to do better with Men! They all have different Personalities but males seem to want to please you more and my females who seem to just want you to please them?
Good Luck deciding?

TinyBit 08-05-2007 07:04 AM

My first was a boy (I didn't pick) He had been sick and I was caring for him then he became mine. I loved Duke with all my heart, but he did mark everything. I was hoping he'd grow out of that. When I lost Duke at 11 months old in June. I wanted another puppy. I thought I wanted a girl so I would not "Compare" the new puppy to Duke. But I was offered a boy, Gizmo, and I couldn't refuse him. He is alot different then Duke, NO COMPARING THEM" He is healthly and active. Then a month later, I was offered a girl, Duke's younger sister, so Lacie joined our family.
She is timid and shy but not because she's a girl, because she was in a kennel for 5 months of life. They are all different.
[SIZE="3"]If you can get both a girl and boy - GREAT go for it. [/SIZE]
IF NOT....then go and see them, and see who you fall in love with and don't look underneath until after you chose.
That way you are picking a puppy....not a boy or girl.
Good luck either way.

Superstarkba 08-05-2007 07:09 AM

I have a boy and a girl, and my girl is starting to get to the point of where they play togethor, and they are just adorable!! I reccommend a boy and girl, thats just me:) Good luck finding the right baby!

Tiger's Mom 08-05-2007 07:28 AM

Ah, I sure like the way you think . . . :p :thumbup:

I have a boy and a girl and I must say if hubby will allow me to get another one it will definitely be a girl :) My boy is still NOT house trained but I am happy he is in a Belly Band . . He is a super duper huge chewer too (a home wrecker :eek: ) and super hiper :rolleyes: My girl is the total opposite but I love them both dearly :) I just think having a girl is more fun especially when it comes to dressing them up :) Whatever you decide I am sure it will be fine :thumbup:
