Q. Should I choose a dog or a bitch puppy? (Male or female).
A. There's not much difference really. Unless you want to breed your own border collie puppies, we see no valid reason for insisting on a bitch pup.
Dogs are just as wonderful as bitches, equally house-trainable and clean. We don't keep sheepdogs in the house but in our experience, dogs living outside in pens are much cleaner than bitches.
Bitches come into season (which is a nuisance) - but dogs can be a pain if there's a bitch in season nearby.
Bitches also ruin the grass on your lawn.
After dogs have established their heirarchy, they tend to accept the situation but bitches don't. Any inter-dog aggression we experience here is usually between bitches! We also think dogs can be more of a "character" than bitches.
