| my female has always been more palyful than my male - if that's what you mean. |
| I don't know. I read about the girls doing poorly in agility initially, but then I think about life around here and it's the girls who hve matured more quickly than the boys.......adding to the boys' charm (?) maybe it's just a difference in individual dogs? |
| I would think each dog is different. Baloo and Lily are from the same litter-- therefore the same age and She seems much more reserved than Baloo. He's absolutely the more goofy, playful of the two. He's also more laid back and relaxed. Lily's lovingly called the Cranky Queen most days. She very particular and likes things to be status quo. Baloo lives by the "whatever" attitude.  |
| I had bouncy forever puppy girl till she had her first heat, it mellowed her a lot. Smarter then the boy but up until then a scallywag who still had puppy dumb dumb brains. Had to laugh as Mims girl was desexed and never had a heat and those two girls are cousins and only two weeks between them in age, first thing mim noticed on babs was she had nipples after her first heat  , tiggy still has pimples there Girls are about the same size too, tiggy is still full on but in a nice way and babs seems to have mellowed heaps. It does seem to mature them more and mellows them too. Now at 2 she is a lot calmer and definately smarter then her brother who I call my giant marshmellow and YEP he has them for brains too but ever so sweet. Babs has learnt to flick open the baby gate and dumb dumb follows her he has no idea how she does it, but waits behind her for her to open it  It is a late maturing breed also, with my Kelsey she finally grew brains at 3 went from a full on nut case to a clever and wonderfull girl, time does help eventually  |
1 and 1/2 is still considered a puppy for this breed. 2 years old is "mature", and then only for select dogs.  The OES's playful, puppy-like nature is sort of a breed standard, I think. Both my girls are over 2 years, and one is as goofy and puppy like as possible, and the other pretends to be mature until her sister goads her into playing. |
