Which do you prefer?
I like boy dogs because they seem to be more playful and funny |
| I grew up always having girl dogs and they were always mellow and cuddly. I have a girl dog now (3 y/o pit) and shes pure energy but very loving. Never wants to leave my side (unless its time to go outside and play). I have 2 male does as well (9y/o lab/pit and 2 y/o pit mix). the 9 y/o is m gf's dog and he just wants to be a bum. the 2 y/o is full of energy as well but we joke cause he cuddles "when HE feels like it, not when you want to" |

Girl dogs I think will be more in tune in the field, meaning they will hunt harder for their master.
But, just like women they can be bitchy and very temperamental, even going so far as to dislike family memembers Male dogs are generally bigger/stronger, and I think just as good in the field when you get them cut. More clownish at home though. I prefer males though, mostly to keep the testosterone levels in the house in favor of my team, and because they are usually cheaper to buy and cheaper to have cut. |

Always preferred females for hunting dogs. They seem less playful, more business. I now have a male GSD in the house and he is fucking clown shoes. Yeah my male is a goofball. Loves to play. My female is more serious, but really affectionate. Both are GSDs. Together they make a good team. |

In the past we usually had male beagles. In fact I don't remember a single female of any kind. They where hunting dogs so they remained chained up outside. Try that with a female in the country and you'll have mutts in no time. They were always affectionate, loyal, well behaved dogs. That is unless you rang a bell. For some reason they went psycho when they heard that.
Fast forward 20+ years and I have a female lab. She is funny, playful, protective, loving, great with the kids and a jealous bitch. She gets a little jealous when I give my kids a hug. She loves the kids though. She knows that she can nip at the boy (oldest) and play tug of war with him. At the same time she is extremely gentle with my daughter (youngest) and will stand there looking at me as if pleading for help when my daughter has her by the ear. I'm not sure if it's the difference in bread, sex or something else. |

The breeder from whom my folks got their lab (female) maintained that males had bigger personalities. I had a male lab I adopted and he reinforced that belief. Current dog is a female hound mix and I've never met a dog with more personality and one that made me laugh so much.

My ex talked me into considering a female, and that's what we ended up with. This dog is the goofiest, most entertaining dog I have ever seen. I have never seen an animal with more personality than her. I take her to the dog park every other day and I am constantly getting comments about her personality and behavior. |

My previous female GSD was a brilliant dog but would never just run around like mine does now. He also definitely is more a one man dog than a family dog. Yes he loves them but he goes where I go and sits next to me or on me when I'm chilling  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_TX-aP25otk

Can be hard work because there is no tiring him but he fills me with so much joy just running around https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_TX-aP25otk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iTYPZtVTpXc Love this one anything gets him excited even plant pots https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbXNUdtyaY |

Males are a little more independent which can equal stubborn
Girls seem more focused on being pleasing the owner. Great great granddad use to breed pits with papers way back when, my great grandma taught me that females will fight to the death where males will fight till they're hurt. Yes, my family helped to populate the breed that GD loves so dearly
