Men vs. Female puppy: what is the difference? I have found it interesting that most people believe that female puppies will grow up to be more affectionate and easier to tame than males, and that puppies, without exception, will eventually start marking their territory with urine, thus destroying furniture and rugs. .
As a breeder, I have observed female and male puppies, as well as female / male adult dogs, individually and in group settings. This opportunity has given me an insight into the differences, sometimes misleading and confusing, between the two genders. It is important to understand that an unaltered (spayed or neutered) dog will behave differently than an altered (spayed or neutered) dog regardless of the dog’s sex.
Considering a bitch? So consider this … When asked to share my opinion on temperaments between male and female dogs, I always start by noting that one dog’s temperament can be very different from that of another dog âEUR “the sex of the dog having little or no to do with that, however, I have made a few observations regarding puppies / dogs that I am happy to share with others.
Temperament Traits Some undisturbed (not spayed) female dogs can be described as Diva Dog. This always elicits laughter, especially from those who know what I’m talking about. These Diva Dogs tend to be very independent and prefer spending time alone to being petted or pampered. They can also be stubborn, which can make potty training and other bow training a bit difficult. I once had a 4-month-old female dog who spent the entire class of an hour-long kindergarten puppy (2 days a week) sitting with her back to the other puppies in the class. She would be half in, if I was involved, but when it was puppy play time, she would sit looking over the fence as far away from the other puppies as possible, giving an occasional glance over her shoulder to see if I was still there. there. It was obvious that she did not consider the other cubs worthy of her time or attention.
Alpha Leaders Observing my three adult females and two adult male dogs while they are in the kennel has given me insight into the dynamics of the dog pack. The undisturbed females (those that have not been spayed) are usually the ones in control of the herd. They determine the pecking order and woe to any dog that doesn’t follow orders! For this reason, an unaltered female may attempt to show her dominance over other females. I usually advise people who already have a female dog in the family and are looking to add a second female dog, to get a male.
Considering a male dog? So read on … As I mentioned before, I firmly believe that the temperament of dogs is different, just like the temperament of humans. It would be unfair to say that human baby girls are better than human baby boys or vice versa, and the same is true of puppies.
Nevertheless; I have made some observations of male dogs over the years that I can share with others. Marking in urine While it is true that unaltered (non-neutered) male dogs have a greater reputation in territorial marking, unaltered females can and will mark their territory like males, especially if they feel threatened. I have learned that the personality of each puppy and adult dog plays a bigger role than gender. Domination or lack thereof, sociability or temperament are rarely specifically linked to the sex of the dog.
Neutering One option, to lessen a dog’s desire to urine tag, is to consider spaying / neutering. Although I truly believe that having an altered dog is not a substitute for training, Mar Vista Animal Medical Center located in Los Angeles, notes that urine tagging is shed in 50% of neutered male dogs. Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior, such as “fucking” or “marking” and lifting their legs.
Once testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors will disappear. The behaviors that are sometimes changed are; interest in walking is eliminated in 90% of neutered dogs. Aggressive behavior against other male dogs is eliminated in 60% of neutered dogs. Urine tagging is eliminated in 50% of neutered male dogs. Improper mounting is eliminated in 70% of neutered dogs, according to Mar Vista Animal Medical Center.
