[NAGDU] differences between male and female guide dogs

[Tracy Carcione]

I've had 4 male guides and 3 females, plus lived with several male dogs
since I was born.
I used to think that males were more affectionate and cuddly, but my last
male wasn't, and my last female was, so gues I was wrong.  
My last 4 dogs, both males and females, have been about the same size, from
53 to 62 pounds.  That's the size I like, so that's what I've gotten.  
My last 2 males have been more apt to try and mark, peeing on poles while we
wait to cross the street, but my previous males didn't try that nonsense.
My females haven't tried that, but it's easy for a guy to lift his leg and
give a squirt.

I'll be happy with either gender, next time around.
Tracy

Hi all,
I was just wondering out of curiosity for those of you who have had both
male and female dogs as guide dogs what differences (other then size) have
you noticed between the two genders? Please be 100% honest. If you want to
write me privately then go ahead. I've only ever lived with female dogs so I
can't comment. Look forward to hearing back from you guys with your
thoughts! Thanks
Madison
