Ok, I must disagree here.? My boys watch football with me.? Ok, they hide when I get vocal, LOL!? My girls all love beer.? I had a party here a couple months ago for a UFC fight night.? Well, beer was spilt and who lapped it up before I could get the paper towels to clean it?? The girls.? My male, decided that hanging out on the couch with the boys, smoking cigars (no, Gunther was not smoking a cigar, LOL!) ?was more interesting than lapping up the beer.? Ok, getting up and going over to the spill would require moving and exerting energy, so I guess males dogs really are like male men, LOL!?

He is 3 mo old today. Since I also have two young bitches, this seems like a disaster waiting to happen! I have owned and raised many bitches. Normally, I would not keep a male. > Zoa I never kept a male either until about 30 years ago when Khi was born. I realized one day that I was terrified each time someone came to pick out a puppy, that someone would want Khi, so I took him out of the pack and made the decision, I would have a male. I've always had a male since and don't think I'd be without one now! Males are like men... They do not lift the seat, but they do lift their leg. You can tell where they have eaten by the mess that they make. Male dogs do not drink beer and watch football, but they do play ball and do other equivilent things. They are a mess. But they are usually more sensative than the female, will threaten to fight and kill their oponent viciously, but actually never do, they act secure and confidnet, but need lots of love and give a lot also. We have had three males at our house for the last several years and they are really no problem.... They are not in together though! I really do like my boys! Can you tell?
