Many
people believe that female dogs make better
pets...female preferences seem to be ingrained in these people.
most calls for pet dogs have people wanting a "sweet girl". They
don't think females display alpha behaviors like "marking" and
/or "humping". They believe they are more docile and attentive
and do not participate in fighting over male dominance. Well
folks, this no not true and they do not call them a "bitch" for
nothing! In the dog pack makeup, females usually rule the
roost, determine pecking order, and compete to maintain and /or
alter that order. The females are, as a result, more
independent, stubborn, and territorial than their male
counterparts. The females are much more intent upon exercising
their dominance by participating in alpha behaviors such as
"humping". There is a reason people utilize the technical dog
term of "bitch" in a negative way, and it refers directly to the
behaviors exhibited by the females of the dog world. Most
fights will usually break out between two females. males, on
the other hand, are usually more affectionate, exuberant,
attentive, and more demanding of attention. They are very
attached to their people. They also tend to be more steadfast,
reliable, and less moody. They are very outgoing, more accepting
of other pets, and take quicker to children. Most boys are
easily motivated by food and praise, and so eager to please
that training is easy. However, males can be more easily
distracted during training, as males like to play so often. And
no matter what age, he is more likely to act silly and more
puppy-like, always wanting to play games. Boys are fun loving
until the day try die. Females tend to be more reserved and
dignified as they age. Boys do get bigger than girls, but only by
an average of 1-2 inches and 3-5 pounds. Neutered males
rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as "humping" or
"marking" and lifting of the legs. Once the testosterone levels
recede after neutering, most of these behaviors if they ever
existed) will disappear. Boys who are neutered early, by the
age of 5 months, usually don't ever raise their leg to urinate.
And while the female will usually come to for attention, when
she's had enough, she will move away. While the boys are
always waiting for your attention and near at hand. Females
are usually less distracted during training, as she is more eager
to get it over with, and get back to her comfy spot on the sofa.
The female is less likely to wage a dominance battle with YOU,
but she can be cunning and resourceful in getting her own way.
She is much more prone to mood swings. One day she may be
sweet and affectionate. The next day reserved and withdrawn
or even grumpy. The female also has periods of being "in heat"
unless she is spayed. Seasonal heats can be a month long
nightmare-not just for the female, but for you and every male
dog in the neighborhood. If you are not breeding, you would be
best off to have her spayed, since defining this time she can
leave a bloody discharge on carpets, couches, or anywhere she
goes. She will be particularly moody and emotional during this
time. A walk outside during this period can become hazardous
if male dogs are in the vicinity, and when will leave a "scent" for
wandering intact males to follow her right to your yard, where
they will hang out, and "wait" for days. Before deciding on
male or female, give consideration to any other dogs that may
be in or around your home!
With all this said , you decide!
