What is the pros and cons of a boy and girl dog?? We've chosen the Boston Terrier but are torn between a boy and girl? Thanks

I think boys are more likely to mark, but if they are neutered before they start, it may be less likely.

I have a girl dog and love her but have nothing against boy dogs. I have heard 2 girl dogs together can be an issue sometimes.

I heard females could be moody (like female people i guess

) I still am leaning more toward a girl but I am still wondering if a male would be a better choice cause i heard they are more easy going????

The majority of Bostons that I know are male. They are friendly, silly and generally easy going.

I've had both and I don't have a really strong preference - I tend more toward males because they seem a little *goofier* and a neuter is usually cheaper and less problematic than a spay.
OT - jazzdpb - I checked out that site you posted. [] It's nice to see that ALL the crackpots aren't in California.

i prefer females and that is all i have ever owned... even having more than 2 and was never a problem. i personally would turn down any dog that was a male...my females have always had the best temperament and are just as sweet as can be
