Re: labrador puppies

You guys are right about puppies having their own personalities but there
are tendencies in male and female behavior. Females tend to be more
independent males tend to be more dependant. That doesn't mean that you
can't wind up with a velcro female and a hardheaded independent male but on
the average males are more likely to shadow one around the house and females
not so much; IME.

Personally, I prefer female labs. When grown-up they have a seriousness
about them that I really like, males I've met tend to be "goofy". Females
seem to have more work ethic than the goofy boys I know.
