Do you think that the females make better pets. So did I until I was proven wrong. The male ShihTzu if neutered at a young age is a far better pet. He is so sweet, loving and always ready for play, etc. Everyone that has ever had a male vs a female comes back for another male. I have people that don't want females because they have experence the compainship of a male and they know what it's really like. Females can still be a little moody and some what distant even after they have been spayed, just like us humans. So before you decide you have to have a female instead of a male, do your research and you will find out what I'm talking about.
