[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1779161, member: 42463"] I've been paid to train, though not to work livestock. Just obedience. My dogs have always been well trained and considering how easy it is to train I often wonder at the people that don't. Of the females I've had I would have preferred males. I had an exceptional Aussie female, my last dog, but I like males much better. They can be disciplined and don't hold a grudge like females. I've never had a male that didn't outperform a female when the going gets tough. Once a male knows he's forgiven he just moves on to the next task with enthusiasm. Females tend to be tentative and reluctant if they are aware they could make a mistake. About the only way a female is better than a male is that they tend to think before acting so they are less likely to get hurt. Of course there are hard dogs and soft dogs anyways, so there is some crossover. I like a hard dog better than a soft. [/QUOTE]
