Make your choice with an open informed mind......Many people believe that female dogs make better pets...female preference seems to be ingrained in these people. Most calls for pet dogs have people wanting a 'sweet girl'. They don't think females display alpha behaviors like 'marking' and/or 'humping'. They believe that they are more docile and attentive and do not participate in fighting over dominance. Well folks, this is not true and they don't call them a 'bitch' for nothing!
In the dog pack makeup, females usually rule the roost, determine pecking order, and who compete to maintain and/or alter that order. The females are, as a result, more independent, stubborn, and territorial than their male counterparts. The females are much more intent upon exercising their dominance by participating in alpha behaviors such as 'humping'. There IS a reason people utilize the technical dog term of 'bitch' in a negative way-and it refers directly to the behaviors exhibited by the females of the dog world. Most fights will usually break out between 2 females. Males, on the other hand, are usually more affectionate, exuberant, attentive, and more demanding of attention. They are very attached to their people. They also tend to be more steadfast, reliable, and less moody. They are more outgoing, more accepting of other pets, and take quicker to children. Most boys are easily motivated by food (how true!!) and praise, and so eager to please that training is easy. However, males can be more easily distracted during training, as males like to play so often. And no matter what age, he is more likely to act silly and more puppy-like, always wanting to play games. Boys are fun loving until the day they die. Females tend to be more reserved or dignified as they age. Witness the human equivalent of the twinkling eyed Grandpa still playing catch at age 70, while Grandma quietly observes from the porch.
Boys usually get bigger than girls, but only by an average of 1-2 inches and 1-3 pounds. In our breeds a variety of sizes can be found regardless of sex. The difference between sizes and sexes is minimal, if bred correctly.
Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as 'humping', or 'marking' and lifting of legs. Once the testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors (if they ever existed) will disappear. Boys who were neutered early (by 5 months of age) usually don't ever raise their leg to urinate.
And while the female will usually come to you for attention, when she's had
enough, she will move away. While boys are always waiting for your attention and
near at hand. Females are usually less distracted during training, as she is
more eager to get it over with, and get back to her comfy spot on the couch. The
female is less likely to wage a dominance battle with YOU, but she can be
cunning and resourceful in getting her own way. She is much more prone to mood
swings. One day she may be sweet and affectionate-the next day reserved and
withdrawn or even grumpy. The female also has periods of being 'in heat' unless
she is spayed. Seasonal heats can be a month long nightmare-not just for the
female, but you and every male dog in the neighborhood. This is why it is so
important to have your dog spayed at the earliest that your vet says it can be
done. Since during this time she can leave a bloody discharge on carpets,
couches, or anywhere she goes. She will be particularly moody and emotional
during this time. A walk outside during this period can become hazardous if male
dogs are in the vicinity, and she will leave a 'scent' for wandering intact
males to follow right to your yard, where they will hang out, and 'wait' for
days. No matter what you decide, have your pet spayed or neutered at the
appropriate age. Spaying a female will dramatically reduce her chances of
getting mammary tumors (breast cancer) as an older dog or pymetria (uterine
infection which can kill your female if not spayed). Neutering a male reduces
his tendency to roam, be aggressive or dominant, and it reduces the likelihood
he will get prostate or testicular cancer. 
So choose a puppy with an open mind, don't let the "girls are better" myth make
the decision for you. Let the puppies personality attract you, not the sex. Take
the time to find the perfect puppy for your lifestyle. Whether or not you choose
a Desert Bloom Baby, you should do your homework and research the breeder and
kennel that you decide to get a puppy from.
