[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1846934, member: 42463"] Rotties are great dogs, but you should stay away from those that are bred for size. Lots of issues with the big ones... But of course you need to define what you want the dog to do and be. If you want a tool or a companion... or both... you will be considering different options. Personally, and I've trained dogs professionally for obedience but not for working stock, I prefer male dogs. They don't hold grudges or get their feelings hurt like females do. Back in the day when dogs were expected to perform work and were trained to do a job, males were more popular. That's changed as the focus has become pets. Part of that is that spaying has become more customary. So good luck with your search. Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll adapt to what you get. [/QUOTE]
