Can I have a bit of advice please? We are adopting a 10 week old puppy from the SPCA, but we have a choice of two. One is male, one female. Female is smaller and apparently loves cuddles, the boy is larger and fluffier and apparently is very easy to train so far, but not as cuddly possibly. Loved DH and wanted to pick lots and lay happily in my arms though. Female just wants to cuddle him, he is a bit more aloof with her, lies down and then she comes and falls asleep on him! They are labrador/collie crosses. Boy possibly has more lab in him, the girl possibly more collie. We live rurally with lots of tracks for walking etc and DH will go running with it each night when gets bigger.
My main question though is which one should we get based around the dog we already have. She is a female, about 4 years old. She is pretty calm, loves cuddles (thinks she's a cat really), but loves to run with other dogs. I've read that two females may not get on, but how much is that down to personality do you think? I've got to make a decision pretty quick. Think I'm erring towards girl, but then the boy is lovely too.. Help!
