Three weeks old!

We are back! J called Barb today and arranged for us to go visit the puppies next Saturday! We can barely contain ourselves. It is looking like we will be getting a puppy from this litter, but it probably will be a boy. I'm still keeping my hopes up for a girl. I've never had a boy dog before, and the idea makes me nervous for some reason. It mainly just concerns me because boy dogs are a lot bigger than girl dogs in general.

From the research I've done, the personality differences in Golden Retrievers are subtle and it completely depends on the puppy. For every person who says "girls are better, they mature faster so they get potty trained faster" there is a person who says "boys are better, they have better bladder control so they get potty trained faster." For every person who says "boys are better, girls are aloof and independent" there is a person who says "not my girl dog, she is a velcro dog."

I guess the fact is, we will be happy with whatever we get, but I still just want a little red girl! The boys are so blond. Very cute though, take a look!!
