Let's here it for the girls...

As my waiting list seems to be mostly families only wanting boys.. I thought I would give my thoughts on benefits of girls! Sorry, this is a bit long..

The Benefits of Choosing a Female Puppy

When it comes to the world of puppies, one undeniable truth emerges: females tend to mature much faster than their male counterparts. This rapid maturity is not just a matter of age; it often translates into greater intelligence and a heightened sense of intuition. In the realm of canine companionship, females stand out as the embodiment of love and nurturing. They possess a unique ability to bond deeply with their families, showcasing a gentle demeanor that makes them exceptional.
Females are often characterized by their calm and gentle nature, making them more adaptable, getting along wonderfully with other animals, children, and even strangers.

Now, let’s address a common concern among potential dog owners: the heat cycle. It’s understandable to feel a bit anxious about this aspect of female dogs; however, the reality is quite reassuring. In my experience, we have some female dogs that show zero signs of being in heat. Typically, female dogs experience a heat cycle every 6-7 months, but it’s essential to note that some may not have their first heat cycle until they reach 12-14 months of age. We recommend families wait till females are 18-24 months old before spaying.

Many families worry about the potential challenges associated with heat cycles and often opt for a male puppy instead. Yet, in truth, heat cycles are generally not a significant issue. Yes, you must be diligent about keeping your girl away from males during this time, but the heat cycle itself usually comes and goes with minimal disruption—often proving to be just a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of pet ownership.

I am a lover of my boys... I describe them as "dumb and happy" lol But I will tell you some of my greatest dogs have been girls... I could walk through a forest with Hazel and Gert and I will tell you, they would fight to the death for me... they never left my side... sure my boys stick to me (I usually have treats in my pocket) lol , but I'm not sure any of them would put up a fight for me.. Dune himself has ran back to the house if a deer or turkey popped out from behind a thicket.. however, my girl Daisy chased a large black bear lingering behind our garage.. Gypsy was always in my vehicle and would wait patiently no matter how long I took in the store.. and quite literally the best girl of all Molly .. never on a leash, she canoed Lake Champlain with me, hiked in Maine, Montana, Vermont, Canada... all over... she was never on a leash... she was truly my best friend ever... so don't be quick to pick a boy for convenience... girls with their intelligence, nurturing nature, and ability to form deep lasting bonds, can become invaluable members of your family too.
