Male vs female

[goldenboy]

I have been raising Golden Retrievers for 20 years. The personality of the dog is way more important than the sex of the dog. Most people cannot handle or control a field trial champion caliber dog. I know I probably can't! That being said, I can find hard charging great pheasant dogs that are females or males. The instiinct is in the breeding. I have been told by trainers that some males tend to be looking for a place to mark and lift their leg instead of looking for bird scent. My opinion on the subject, find the right breeding first, second look objectively at all pups in the litter. Third flip the dog over and check to see if it a male or female.

My dog Ace could probably be characterized, as Joel mentioned, as a hard charging, great pheasant dog. Fairly well bred, somewhat trained, with lots of experience. Puts roosters in the vest! What I TELL him, though, is that he's definitely a field trial champion caliber dog, probably even world champion!
