I know of no cons of having all females unless they come in heat during a short hunting season and you hunt with others or there are other dogs in the woods where you hunt if you hunted them while they were in heat. I keep mostly females, but have had a couple of outstanding males so I usually have a male or two, hoping for another like them.

You can hunt a female in heat if you rub her up with Vic vapor cream it seems to kill the male interest.

Plain ole Vicks vapor rub, get several containers and use it every time you cast your dogs. It can lose its odor block after a while. My daddy used it on his bird dogs and it worked fine for him.
