What is the average size of males and females? What are the benefits/drawbacks to each gender?
Males can range from 60-90 pounds. Females are slightly smaller ranging from 50-65 pounds. Both females and males make excellent pets. Males tend to be slightly more affectionate and attentive than females. Females can be more independent and freethinking. Intact males can be dog aggressive toward other males, particularly intact males, if they are not adequately socialized to other males when they are maturing.
