We have a 5-year old male labrador that we just bred (to a registered female lab)and are going to get a puppy. We need to decide male or female. The dad has a superb temperment, house dog, very affectionate and very well-loved.
Which should we get and is neutering necessary?
Appreciate any advice....Thanks!

Just my 2 cents....
I would get a female (since you already have a male) and yes I think neutering is neccessary.
Dogs of the opposite sex seem to be less likely to fight with each other than dogs of the same sex and spayed/neutered dogs seem to be less likely to fight with each other than unaltered dogs.

Yep your best bet if you have a male is get a female and vice versa.
