I HAVE PEOPLE ASKING ME FOR FEMALE PUPPIES ALL THE TIME. MAYBE THEY HAVE NEVER OWNED A MALE. AS THE OWNER OF BOTH MALE AND FEMALE I CAN SAY THAT MALES MAKE JUST AS GOOD A PET AS A FEMALE IF NOT BETTER.YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR PET SPAYED ARE NUTURED. A MALE THAT HAS BEEN NUTURED BEFORE HE LEARNS TO MARK IN THE HOUSE WILL NEVER MARK. HE IS EASIER TO HOUSE TRAIN THAN A FEMALE AND WILL NOT GO IN THE HOUSE JUST BECAUSE HE IS MAD AT YOU. BOTH OF MY MALES ARE LIL SNUGGLERS AND THEY LIVE TO MAKE ME HAPPY. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR IN A PET. FEMALES ARE GOOD PETS TO, BUT CAN BE PICKY ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT AND WHEN THEY WONT IT. WITH PROPER TRAINING AND HAVING YOUR PET SPAYED ARE NEUTERED BOTH FEMALE AND MALE POODLES ARE GREAT HOUSE PETS AND SHOULD DO VERY WELL IN A HOME SETTING WITH THIER HUMAN FAMILY.
