I've just found out that my new puppy will be a boy due to mix of litter, my position on list etc. I grew up with bitches, as did DH. Our only shared dog was a bitch. We've never owned a boy dog!
Please tell me about your dogs... especially if you've had both. I'm fascinated to know if we will notice much of a difference.
This isn't a 'gender disappointment' thread. I think we would have chosen a bitch because that's what we've had before but I know DH is really excited that we are getting a dog this time.
