Naw, I used to think I wanted boys and only boys. Every dog I have intensionally kept or bought was a boy. Funny part? The dogs I most connect with have been the females thrust upon me. First with Hannah, then Shamoo, and now Sloan. Even beyond that my female fosters have been much closer to my heart than my males.
I love my boys but really the girls just have *it* you can tell they care, they have the girlfriend, mom, and everything wrapped up. They are attentive, serious, quiet in their smiles, not stupid giddy, oh and so forth. For me, I think they just fit. It's worth the heats, I think, even though they are a pain.
Denis wants a big burly male next go around so that suits our house well. I will stock up and hoard super awesome females and he can claim the male booger. lol
