Most people when they go to buy their pom puppy they look for the females so they can dress them up and fix their hair like celebs are commonly known for. They also assume that the females will be more obedient and easier to train since with us humans it is said that women mature faster than males. But they couldn’t be more wrong! Other than the fact that you can breed females and of course doll them up, males are the better and easier pick. Females are more aggressive, stubborn, and tend to be more independent, which to me makes a lot of sense since the female species are known for having“attitude” problems. You just would never think that the same rule applies to dogs! Like most poms they require a lot of attention but females will come to you for it and once they have had enough want to be left alone. Males on the other hand are sweet, show lots of affection, and are more passive. They crave attention from their owners and get attached very easily to them. Females are less acceptant to other animals while males will be more welcoming. When it comes to training males versus females they are equally easy since Pomeranians are a very intelligent breed. Males are more playful and can be bribed with treats which makes it’s a little less difficult to train them though while females are more serious and just want to be done with. I have also heard that people choose females so they won’t have to worry about the humping and spraying but in fact female poms have the same tendencies. Males are also cheaper to have neutered than females.
Now when choosing a dog I usually go with choosing a male anyway no matter what the breed because I don’t want to deal with the periods and they tend to have to be feisty. I’m glad to know that my preference worked in my favor when I chose my Pomeranian. My mother and sister just got a female and she is difficult in all ways and much different from my Romeo. You can really tell the difference in her being female and him being male in their personalities. But yet in still I would take a female or a male Pomeranian any day over any other breed. They are the best!
