sentence correction and paraphrasing

Question

Hi teachers, yes it's me again

Could you please check the following conversation between 'A' and 'B' and tell me if there's any mistakes in that?

Here's the conversation:

A: You have a very nice pet, you know. (or 'you know that?'?)

B: Yes, I have.

A: What's the name of your pet? Is it a he or a she? (or should 'A' say 'Is it a male or a female?'?)

B: Its name is Tiger. And it's a male. (Does saying 'We call it Tiger.' sound more natural?)

Thank you.

Thank you very much, sir, for your reply.

I think we'd say "a nice cat" or "a nice dog" rather than "a nice pet" if the animal were right there and we could clearly see its species.
