[quote=Anonymous]Here's my pro/con list for male and female golden retrievers: Males-- Tend to be 10-15 lbs larger than the girls, are stronger and have larger heads (breeder should tell you parents adult weights, so that's a possible indicator of size differences). Don't have to deal with heat cycles while waiting to neuter (current reccomendation is to wait until golden's are fully grown before fixing so as to prevent hip dysplasia and other skeletal issues). Can have slightly shorter lifespan than the girls. Females-- Smaller in general, longer lifespan We had the most amazing goofball of a male golden retriever, and I honestly preferred that personality, but the female we have now is also very very sweet and fun, and it's also nice to have a somewhat smaller dog.[/quote]
