I HAVE HAD FEMALES MAINLY MYSELF BECAUSE THEY DO TEND TO BE EASIER AT THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF TRAINING. THEY DO HAVE A "SENSE TO PLEASE" ATTITUDE MORESO THAN MALES I FEEL. AND THEY DON'T "PISS AROUND" IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I AM A LABRADOR OWNER/TRAINER SINCE 1963, AND THRU THIS EXPERIENCE IN RETRIEVERS, CAN TRUTHFULLY BACK MY WORDS.
BEST OF LUCK!
