Beware of the cheap puppy as it may not really be a bargain. The initial investment you make is nothing compared to the investment both financially and emotionally you will make over the next 10-15 years. The choice of whether to buy a male or female is often just a personal preference. However, there are some differences you should be aware of. Females will come into season approximately every six months and must be completely confined for three weeks during that time.
Males tend to wander, especially if there are females in the neighborhood.
Whether you get a male or female is not a major factor for a pet, as both should be neutered. This distraction interrupts the dog's life with your family including other pets in the family and definitely makes your dog more difficult to live with. Neutering will also prevent some health problems that can develop later in your dog's life. This is a puppy that is healthy with a good personality but may lack desirable qualities when compared to the breed standard . The breed standard, which is included in this packet, is the written description of the ideal of the breed.
