Commonly, particularly in small spaces, male dogs are claimed by some dog owners to be more aggressive and destructive. Female dogs, or ‘bitches’ are said to be easier to train and more loving. Dependent the dog type, these stereotypes may be true or not. There are lots of things that you should be aware of when you want to choose a female dog such as the need to spay so that unwanted birth will be avoided or simply manage your dog during the times of being in heat. Failure to take action for doggy birth control means that you’re constantly trying to find homes for cute litters of puppies.
You should know that the change of life is not something that female dogs have, thus, it is possible for female dogs to have pups whenever they want to, not like with the human female that has a lot of issues to deal with first. Guarding your female dog is an activity that you are expected to do for weeks in every year because male dogs either from your neighbor or those stray ones can catch her scent no matter how far they are. On the other hand, if you have a pedigree dog that you want to breed, then having a female dog can become a financial advantage.
To mark their territorial dominion, which be from the outside of your home or even just around the corners of your room is something that male dogs can’t really avoid doing. They do the marking of their “spot” by peeing on that part so that they won’t have the trouble finding it again. You can try to train a dog not to mark his territorial dominion, but you’re asking him to go against his instincts. If you already have a male dog in your house and you have add another, then a fight on who becomes the boss is likely to be witnessed between those dogs. The dominance over the home is something that even the smaller dogs would fight for against the larger male dogs in order to insist who among them got there first.
Just like with humans where opposites attract, the same goes with dogs of different genders. Although male dogs seem to be more malicious with each other than female dogs, sharing their place with another dog is not something that some female dogs would love to do. Female dogs are by and large easier to house school than male dogs, although that is not usually applicable in all cases since each and every breed has its own distinct features so it may still vary and that will also depend on the ability of the dog trainer on how well he could control the dogs. Male dogs are considered as more lively and active, but, there are certain breeds with both their males and females possessing the nature of being “high strung”. Many of the average individuals who are shopping for a dog would definitely look for a female dog. The idea that those dogs which are easier to school and less hostile are the female ones is more likely to be the thought that they think in.
But, being highly temperamental is a fact with most female dogs that those people tend to forget. Dog breeders tend to favor male dogs as an easier pet to handle. In determining how a dog will behave, depending on the essence of what the sex can tell you with regards to its characteristics is not enough to give you the facts you need. There are breeds that set aside the sex since some of their features are likely to be retained such as being calm and tolerant whether the dog is a female or a male. But males and females of breeds which are energetic, nippy and difficult to manage usually have those characteristics within them.
Given that no scientific evidence is presented that can make the guessing of the features of males and females and comparison for each gender possible, then the decision about dog sex is essentially subjective. Chances are your memories of a childhood pet or a friend’s pet that you wish you had is what’s determining your choice now.
You can recall of a gentle female Collie who once had cared enough for each and every litters of pups and that you may consider as the trait of an ideal dog to have. Or you think about the rough and tumble large male dog that could run hard, play tirelessly and keep up with the most inquisitive children. It would be fine to follow your instincts in making the decision of picking out what dog is best for you to have that could either be a female or a male dog. For you, that will be the right choice.
