It is important to know that every puppy no matter the gender has a personality of it's own. but there are some general differences between the genders.

Physically, males are on average bigger than females, but size greatly depends on genetics individual growth. Coat length also is different for every dog, but all our dogs are genetically long coated.

​

Temperament is not very different in terms of gender until they mature and hormones start to kick in. 

For females this can look like...

For males this can look like...

However all our puppies come with a spay/neuter contract and this will dull hormones that would have otherwise potentially developed into problematic traits.

​

Myths:

It is a myth that males are calmer than a female.

It is a myth that females are easier to train than males.

It is a myth that two dogs of the same gender don't get along as long as they get de-sexed in time. Ofcourse sometimes dogs don't get along but this is then a personality clash rather than a gender issue.

​

Although it is possible it is not recommended. This breed is large, active and intelligent. This means keeping your dog indoors or even in a backyard all day will likely lead to a dog that is unhappy and develops behavioral issues as it is not getting the physical, mental and social stimulation it needs.

We recommend staying home with the puppy as long as possible when they are young to build the connection and house rules/training, and if you do need to work away from home once it gets older, to sign your dog up to a doggy daycare and/or have a hired dog walker.

Yes and No. 

The selection process is done when the puppies are 6 weeks old as that is when their personalities start to show.

We let you pick your top 3 favourite puppies and from then it depends on:

​

- Which of those 3 we think is best suited to you and your circumstances.

- When you payed your deposit.

 

We try our best to make sure everyone gets the one they want but please be aware that this can't always happen.

Our litters are pre-reserved, so everyone is waiting for a puppy just as patiently as you, and everyone of course wants the first pick.

​

We know the puppies well and have been breeding for 12+ years so please trust that our judgement is generally pretty accurate when suiting puppies and owners even if its not the one you initially chose.
