AUSTRALIA, Jul 26 — So you’ve decided to invite a new member into the family. You’ve decided on a breed and can visualise yourself walking proudly through the streets with your new best friend.
One more thing to decide: which is better – a boy or a girl?
This is a difficult question to answer because to a large extent, the behaviour of the dog is determined by the training and discipline they receive from their owner. If however, your existing dog(s) have a history of aggression you may need to talk to your local dog trainer about having some lessons in how to introduce the puppy into the pack

o you’ve decided to invite a new member into the family. You’ve decided on a breed and can visualise yourself walking proudly through the streets with your new best friend.
One more thing to decide: which is better – a boy or a girl?
This is a difficult question to answer because to a large extent, the behaviour of the dog is determined by the training and discipline they receive from their owner. One thing I can say is that it’s important to understand that an unaltered (not spayed or neutered) dog will behave differently than an altered dog regardless of gender.
Here are just a few tips to keep in mind when choosing between a male or female dog.
Marking: Perhaps the most obvious trait of a male companion is their obsession with marking their territory. No matter what you do – you cannot change this inherent characteristic, although neutering can help to some extent. Female dogs can also do this particularly when they feel threatened, but as a general rule – males are notorious for this.
Mounting: Not a great deal to say on this matter, but neutering should help to curb their enthusiasm!
Pre-Madonnas: Some unaltered (not spayed) female dogs can behave like little pre Madonnas! They have a mind of their own and can come across as being spoilt or even snobbish, plus they can be very stubborn when it comes to being house trained.
Heat: Female dogs tend to come on heat every 6-10 months if left unaltered.
Introducing a new puppy: If you already have a dog and want to introduce a new friend into the pack, it’s always better to get a new puppy of the opposite gender. If you have several dogs, it may be best to choose a gender of the least domineering of your existing dogs. If however, your existing dog(s) have a history of aggression you may need to talk to your local dog trainer about having some lessons in how to introduce the puppy into the pack.
As a final tip: Be mindful that older dogs and little puppies may not be suitable because their temperaments are very different and the puppy’s desire to play may be overstimulating for your dog’s stage in life.
