Lloyd90 509 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 http://www.arielskennels.com/male_vs_female.htm I have two bitches, a lab and a springer. the lab is stubborn, marks territory and if given an inch takes a mile, and sometimes is infuriating. The springer was much more timid dog when she was a pup, afraid of everything, now listens better than the labrador to commands and is quicker to react to them. The lab is better trained though. Also depends if you want to be going through with all the trouble of there seasons. I would have got dogs but my mother would only have bitches so that settled it. Quote Link to post
samearl14 11 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 cheers for that link mate. Im thinking i may well get a dog and get my lab bitch that i have at the moment spayed because i dont intend to breed from her. That will save the hassle of when she comes in heat. Quote Link to post
