Yeap 2 girls and both spayed. My only concern is the potential for a boy to get frisky! Although I'm sure there are ways round that

If both your girls are speyed then having a male should not be a problem.I have 3 entire males and 2 bitches(one speyed,one not).We have no problems unless the unspeyed bitch is in season .

I prefer males. Much more characters than bitches.

I'd have boys. They are so much calmer :D Less work than the bitches who want to explore everything. ;)

Mine are the opposite! The boys even at nearly 7 years old are incapable of moving slower than a gallop and like to explore several fields away, while the girls stay close. The boys are much more hyper - the girls are beautifully calm, and were even when they were younger than the boys are now. For me, girls every time - we'll never have another boy out of choice!

Would definitely recommend a male - less trouble than a possible spat with existing girls and a newcomer of the same sex :rolleyes:

Get another little girl

I don't like boys because of their stickie outie things :D

I've invariably had girls, but now have a 15 month old GSD boy. I was a bit dubious, but because I have a bitch who is quite dominant, I thought it safest. I have been so pleasantly suprised, he is a real darling cuddlebucket. He does some very 'boy' things at times and he does mount other dogs occasionally, but has learned to 'step off' if told no (which he always is :rolleyes:). I have actually found him much easier than the girls I've had, but I think he's a bit dimmer
Love him to bits

We have always had girlie dogs in my family, Tyler is my first male and i have to agree what characters they have, he never fails to make us laugh and always has to be involved in whatever we are doing. I have found bitches easier and more laid back in my experience. I think males are more demanding and hyper and also quite stubborn, but that could just be my dog. I think if we ever got another it would be female. I love him to bits and wouldn't change him but he is hard work. To begin with we thought he was extremely thick but turns out sometimes he just doesn't want to do as he is asked

I am having problems getting my Mum's female [spayed]dachsie to accept my new 6 month old dachsie bitch,she was so good when I got the male 2 yrs ago and has been a fiend with this pup. I was expecting problems from my male as he is a right Mummy's boy but he has been great and the puppy has settled in well,been here 2 weeks today. We have tried at my house and her own house.

I would appreciate any suggestions as Mum's dog stays here for holidays etc. and I don't fancy having to have eyes in the back of my head to keep them seperated.

Bramble is very discreet with his :D :D :D The perfect gentleman, apart from when he tries to hump his mate Sid, the entire choccy labrador :D

I have 2 of each and 1 male still intact and he's a handful swear he has adhd :D lol In all I prefer the males :) I find they are much more clingy then the girls :)

I have 1 of each, my boy is very laid back, does his own thing My girl on the other hand is very clingy follows you everywhereand can be quite temperamental at times:rolleyes: I prefer boys

Hi All

Have just read your posts about this subject, and wondered if you all feel that having 2 boys living together that if pays to have them both castrated, i have got a little westie who is 3 years old and is still entire and i am looking in the near future to get another westie pup boy but wondered whether my existing boy should be castrated and then get the pup done as soon as he is old enough to be castrated?

Thanks
Helen

It is best to have a clear gap in status.  Neutering reduces generally status, so if your older boy is not a problem being entire I would leave well alone, and if anything have the younger one done if he should get to the stage of challenging the elder when he reaches 18 months or so.  Otherwise if it ain't broke don't fix it
