IT ALL REALLY DEPENDS ON WEATHER OR NOT YOU WONT A MALE OR FEMALE? AND WHAT YOU WHAT OUT OF THE DOG SPORT ,PP, OR PET BUT I LIKE THE MALES PEDIGREE A LOT BETTER

Iv always had male dogs growing up , so im not really sure what to expect from a female . Mainly it will be a famliy dog , and later i would like to do some pp .

If it's primarily going to be a pet then either one would be fine.  I personally would have gone with a stronger pedigree if I were looking for a PP prospect but if it's primary purpose is as a companion you should be happy with either litter.  It really also will depend on the pup you choose and how strong its drives are but again keep in mind puppies are a gamble.

As far as male or female selection I think it's just a matter of personal preference.  Some like males because they don't want to deal with heat cycles but if you're not planning on breeding then spaying would take care of that problem...on the flip side you have males marking their territory so IMO one is no worse or better than the other.

I have both males and a female and I tend to think my bitch is more eager to please and not as hard headed as my males.  Some tend to think females make better companions with children as they have the natural nurturing instinct but my males are fantastic with my kids also.  My female will listen to the kids but my males run right over them and act like they don't understand the command to sit or lay down....they know they can get away with it with them but not with my husband and I.  My female has more patience and goes with the flow more easily.  It really all depends on the dogs personality I think.  Good Luck with your new pup.
