female vs. male

Would any of you breeders have any information on females
vs. males, desexed, personalities?? I have heard that once a pup is desexed that you can't tell if it's a male or a female
based on how it acts. I have a perspective buyer that is stuck on a female and I've tried to explain to her that once they're
desexed it doesn't matter...Hope this makes sense! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

the males. Sweet natures, gentle and loving. To date, my most
alpha acting dogs have all been females. Every litter, I fall in love with the males and I am a FEmale dog owner for over
50 years.

to bad they can not birth pups ! hahaha
I was always hell bent on girls until until 8 yrs ago and
my male Standards and Doodles are the best of the best
Most of my dogs in therphy classes are MALES, most of your
rescue and retrieve dogs are Males
Calmer and more attentive, Females change their mind too much,
like some woman we know
hahaha

Now before anyone jumps down my throat for anti-feminism.
I think women have an extra chromosome that makes them think about family, home, complex ramifications for the group etc.
It makes them more complex than males.
Males are interested in one thing only. Then you cut off the
balls et voila - you have a man who is easy going. Happy to be part of your life. Undemanding. no mood swings. No great wants
and desires.
My females - cat, dogs, horses - are more complicated, moody,
interesting. I'll stop here while my foot is firmly inserted into my mouth. LOL

with that exact description of females. I prefer my males
hands down!! Females are moody even when spayed, and they have mood swings. I said female dogs are like women. LOL

but there is something about this breed that I always fall
in love with the guys.
I think they are just as sweet and adorable. I have had clients
insist on a female, but were willing to accept the "right" male. If I have a male that has the personality they are looking
for..... they usually take him.

I have always had female dogs and am getting a second doodle
next month. This time for the first time I am getting a male, so I have had a little apprehension but everyone continually
says the males are great and really loving.

My males are awesome dogs. So are my females. Right now I
have 4 dogs in the house...Rubee 5 yo golden (pregnant) Dudley 18 month old GD (neutered) Zurri 5 month old standard poodle
pup (intact) Coda 5 month old GD (neutered, and visiting for the week.) Zurri is definetly my bitchiest dog in the whole group.
But...well bitchy doesn't even fit. She's BOSSY. She's the doggie police and wants all the wrestling and playtime to follow
HER RULES. Rubee, on the other hand, could care less what everyone else is up to.

This comes up often and did even yesterday with a potential
client. I sent her this chat to show that I wasn't just trying to sell her a boy and that most breeders of labradoodles anyway
feel this way......
Rhett and Tucker and wonderful, sweet and loving souls and
my Ace....he was in a league all his own......;(

I am not a breeder, but visit here occasionally because you
actually have real information about doodles! Our groomer, who has several dogs and horses, says females hands down. Her reasoning
is that males pee on every post (translate: her fence) and tree. What is your take on that?

My alpha female squats on top of the male's pee.

go figure. Marking is no big deal in my book. I just enjoy
watching who is marking whose pile as ages change in the pack. If you count marking, Trixie is my Alpha.

she is my alpha and spayed, but you would never know it by
just looking at her. I've never had an alpha male.

... for years. But now I have a boy and he is sweeter and
more loving than my girls. Total mama's boy! I have sent a couple of boys to (former) girls only families and they all love
the boy. I too have had more sweet boys per litter than girls. Ane we breeders are always on the prowl for sweet girls...

it is the boys that I would choose. They are the REAL snuggle
bunnies - loyal, attentive, loving! Have never had a male be an alpha - not yet anyway!
Please do not get me wrong - the girls are also loving ~ they
are just a little more complex and independent.
I recommend boys all the time!
