re: male vs. female

I have two males and a female in one house. The female is not spayed because we show her in conformation. She is wonderful. I do know that females tend to be a little tempermental towards other female dogs in the same house. My boys are mammas boys. Very affectionate. My 1 yr old is fixed and never learned how to lift his leg and pees like a girl. No problems in the house. My 6 month old boy is not fixed because am showing him also. I do notice a difference in the two boys. The puppy is more mach but testosterone does tend to do that to a guy. They ar great. You can research breeders to find the right temperment for you and get that temperment that best fits your lifestyle. Good luck
