Thanx, tmnba, emoore, daniel and onyx. Yes the sire was there on "loan" from a friend in California.

Any one have experiences in terms of favoring male over female or vice versa. I will not be looking to be a breeder. Aside from obvious differnce in size and males tendency to mark territories are there any differences?

Ah, so you went to Alta-Tollhaus. Sire is from the breeder's program. Gavin? Males/females=personal choice. Marking can be managed with training...

Hi! everyone! When visiting a breeder is it bad form to take pictures or ask to take pictures of the pups?

Not bad form to ask. Just be gracious if he/she says no.
