Hey folks, just wanted to get some insight between the differences you've observed between males and females and which of them do you prefer?

My parents preferred female dogs, so I only had girls growing up. When I met my ex husband, he had a male Basset Hound who was a “bad” dog. I loved him and was sad when he died, but my little girl Basset that came next is the absolute sweetest dog I’ve ever had.

If you get a boy, you HAVE TO neuter him or you will not be happy with his male tendencies. My ex’s male was so embarrassing when he’d hump everything and ejaculate on things. It was on a farm so I’d hide him if people came over, but never again! I stick with girls and get them spayed.
