Dogs of the same gender, especially females, tend to have more intense problems. This is a generality, but not always the case. Many pit bull rescue groups will not allow same-sex placements.

Littermates can be even worse. The dominant pup bullies the submissive, neither learn independence, and fights can still break out. If the pups get along great, neither one may really bond with people.

This said, my trainer has a set of intact female littermates and they are glorious because my trainer is a national champion handler. But this is an exception. We mere mortals are usually better off steering clear of this.

We wont adopt out to a same sex home. Among my fosters the females have it the toughest because my female runs the dogs in the house no question- the males never seem to care but the females often try to challenge her (they are put in their place pretty easily). JMO
