Question
Does a female dog follow you more than a male dog?(laboradors). Will a female sleep with you more than a male laborador? Please answer these questions for me. Thank You.

Answer
I would say the males are more affectionate and enjoy cuddling more.  There is more difference from one individual to the next, than  between the 2 sexes.  It is a common mistake to expect all the members of a breed to be alike.  Yes, many Labs are eager eaters, sloppy drinkers, bad chewers, etc., but not all of them.  Many of the ones I have had, hated the water.  Besides genetic differences, early socialization, before 12 weeks, is very important.
