Which gender makes the best pet? Male or female? In most ways there is no difference. Chihuahuas - both male and female - are have similar personalities (from passive to dominant), are equally loving and lovable, and are equally intelligent.

So what about "marking?" Well, both males and females mark their territory. However, boys do a lot more leg lifting to mark just about everything in sight. Chairs, potted plants, tables, shoes left out, etc. Ugh! Because of this, I would estimate 75% of families want females only, while 25% don't care - male or female. It's really rare to have a family who specifically wants a male.
What options are there? First, have your male neutered before puberty. This will not only eliminate most of the leg lifting, it will also reduce his chances of testicular cancer and prostate disease.
If this is not an option, then you can try doggie diapers. These are wraps that go around the male's mid section. He will continue to lift his leg and mark around the house, but it's kept in the diaper. A great option!
All-in-all, we love all our Chihuahuas, male and female. What's important is you do your research and due diligence. Ask questions, read, and talk to other dog owners.
Hopefully, you will have a loving, cuddly relationship with your Chihuahua. They are our little sweetie pies!
