I have a 5 year old Brittany. He just lost his companion for all but the first 12 weeks of his life, a female Westie. We are thinking of getting a puppy, and would probably go for another Brittany because we now live in a colder region of NY and think a Brittany can handle it better. Would you advise that we get a female or male? What else should we consider? Thanks.

Don't get a male this late on, they can become agressive and territorial. Females are a safer bet however you will need to be around for a lot of the bonding process to make sure nothing bad happens.

actually the male brittany is supposed to be the more subdued gender. Females are usually the pack leader and are more territorial. Males usually get along better with other dogs and especially if you're getting a puppy there shouldn't be any problems.
