Thanks for sharing your experience with Boxers. I‘ve done some additional (random) search, which was not breed specific. Based on that, I‘ve found equal prices for males and females, "cheaper" males or females respectively, so it‘s probably to the breeder‘s discretion, rather than a common theme among all. I‘m wondering if they base this decision on factors, such as popularity, supply/demand etc. I guess there are many people who have a very strict preference when it comes to selecting the right gender. Many of them are probably not even aware of the actual differentiators, and the fact that it is more specific to the individual dog, rather than gender. Again, just wondering. I‘m probably over-interpreting this.
It's been quite a few years since I've been looking for a breeder, so I do appreciate hearing the answers to these questions. Things change all the time and all of the breeders I used to deal with have retired. I'll be looking again in the next few years, so the discussion of contracts is interesting to me.
