well when i got my first lurcher i was told bitches are easier to train .

yet i got a dog i find their less injury prone i maybe wrong but most bitches ive come accross seem to pick them up pretty easy .my dog dosnt even seem to let me no if he gets any.and i suppose the age of a dog would be the time of when your setting yourself to be up and running.if you take on older dogs you can find problems with how its been trained in the past. a pup will grow to your family and lifestyle i beleive.

have you thought of the breed yet i no you were wondering lastweek
