I second the female vote. Most of my dogs over the years have been female. They can be a royal headache to train at times but I suppose I like it that way.

Best of all (according to some and I won't argue) it is EXTREMELY rare that they try to hump your leg.

But they really are hell on the grass due to the way they urinate all in one go as opposed to spreading it around more as males do when marking.

Not Sinead...she's worse at marking than Mick. She marks all over the place, but she's not spayed yet.

Mick's an asshole, but I don't blame that on being a boy. In fact, when I took him to his first herding lesson, his trainer asked me to bring his papers. He read them over and his response was, "you've got yourself a very fine pup, but he's going to be a hard dog. He was bred to be that way. They had to be that way to survive with ------." He's been the most difficult and, at the same time, the most rewarding dog I've worked with.
