Puppy picking and which sex should I go for?

[Pipsquiggle]

Hello I am hoping for some advice. We will be picking a puppy in the next couple of weeks.

We get 2nd pick after the breeder. The litter is 5 boys and 2 girls. At this stage I am assuming the breeder will pick 1 of the girls. As part of the puppy contract, we will neuter whichever puppy we get at the appropriate time.

I live in a house with DH and 2 DS (age 9 & 6), we want a great family pet who will be the boys buddy and great companion for the adults too.

Any advice on whether we should go for a boy or a girl and what characteristics should we look out for. Thanks in advance.

I always get female dogs and male cats. male cats are friendlier than female cats (usually in my experience) and female dogs dont do that awful thing where their dick hangs out and they hump things. I couldnt cope with that.

Our male dog particularly enjoyed my mother petting him recently. Lipstick out not envy
