It likely won't be but when I go visit my parents (if we do decide on a male) he'll be around a 85 pound Amstaff and a 25 bound Boston Terrier (both males) I plan to socialize 10 times over but if a male is going to be a problem regardless then I will go with a female. I'd rather have the male because I prefer the size and in this case there are 4 red/rust 2 male/2 female and 2 black male and 2 black female.
The black female that is still available is the smallest of the litter. (Two black have already been claimed)
Sooo if i go with a female it's it's either going to be the smallest of the litter in black or one of the reds. I'm still not sure on the red. I love the parents both are fantastic, the male is black and the female is red, I like the look of the black/rust. Also am I being unreasonable to not want the smallest of the litter? I've read on here over the last day or so that the puppies aren't always a good representation of their size as adults. It also seems that males have more health problems. (?)
Like I said before I'm here for as much information as humanly possible. There seems to be a wealth of it here...... I'm also ready for the sleepless nights and the extended play sessions. It will all be well worth it in the long run.
EDIT: My second dog which is likely a year or so out from this puppy will either be a male or female Amstaff depending on the sex of the puppy. I just worry about other dogs, specifically my families dogs and my gf's parents dogs.
