Male or Female?

This can be a hard decision for some families!! Your pet is going to be a member of your family for many years to come, so you want to get a pet that will fit into your lifestyle. Here is my opinion as a pet owner who has had both males and females.

Females generally fit in best in homes that are a little more quiet - single people, couples, couples with older children. Once they mature, girls tend to be happy to simply find their bed and “chill”. Females are typically not as social as males and are usually not as tolerant of young children as males are.

 

Males fit very nicely in homes with active children. They love to be in the thick of the action. Even as boys mature, they like the socialization that active families can provide for them. Males also get along much better in group settings than females. For active families who enjoy lots of walks and exercise and are on the go a lot, a male dog might be your best choice.
