Male Dogs vs Female Dogs are they different?

[thejindoman]

I generally tend to prefer owning a male dog. However the female dogs I owned and many of the ones I handled were awesome. It comes down to the individual dog - a great dog is a great dog no matter the gender.

I've owned 3 females and 3 males so far. For a decade I had a pack of 4. Two female, two male. Right now I have a pack of two that are female. For me females are easier. They are less clingy, more independent and understand your emotional needs at any time. But you really need to match the right females. Males fight and forget about it. Females fight and hold a grudge. Going forward I'm more inclined to own females but if I stumbled upon the right male I'll give him a home

Hardest, most driven German Shepherd I've owned, was a female. She was amazing.

Been watching this guys videos for months! Really helped me raise my awareness and gain knowledge on how to properly teach and train my male GSD. Thank you !!

I’ve owned three female GSD’s and one large high drive male. You are spot with your info. Loved watching them play. Thanks for sharing. Looking to add another to our family in a year since we lost our last one two months ago. Thanks again for the video. ❤️

From my experience with the dogs we've had from the time i was little up to now i agree with everything. The only thing i'd add from what i've seen is that our females that we've had were always A LOT more protective of the kids in the family not saying that the males weren't but the females were just more so.

I've had males all my life the last 6 years, I acquired a female shep/mal/Akita/ (with a sneeze of golden retriever). Most people's reaction "HOLY CRAP, WHY?!" WELL It wasn't by choice BUT SHE IS THE COOLEST DOG I HAVE EVER HAD. YES Sensitive to emotion, attentive, responsive ON POINT. The guys were a lot more laid back, they assessed situations before reacting .... she's more on top of things and game to do whatever. SMART AS A WHIP... It had made working with her, training her SO MUCH FUN. She wants to win, she has so many buttons I'm sure I'll never unlock.
Is it the "breeding" or is it because she's female.... IDK but man. It's hard to want anything else. I wish they lived forever.... I'll be hard-pressed to find another. Everyone loves her, ESPECIALLY her vet (which is important, esp being what she is) we always joke that we'll start our own breed, but that would be irresponsible now wouldn't it. LOL

This was a good video man, keep up the great work. Happy New Years!

I'm not sure if it depends on breed but from what we've experienced in my family, the males tend to be more dependent on the owners and like to spend more time with them while our females tend to be more independent and like to have their time alone but might be just our dogs

You sir, are a great advocate for knowing what you want. Your knowledge is profound. Keep helping us.

I grew up with female dogs as pets (a Chow mix, and a pit bull/German Shepherd mix) and now I have a female Blue Heeler of my own. Just from MY experience, female dogs are super protective of their people and their territory (your house). They are also super perceptive of your emotions and try to ‘make’ you feel better. They have noticed when I’m sad, angry or happy. I also like the fact that they don’t mark everything they see by lifting their leg and peeing it. Idk, I just prefer female dogs. They are easier to handle.

From what I experience in my day care and my own dogs, personally I love females more. But in a social setting, managing and accomodating males together as a geoup had been easier (and only one female in the mix for that matter).
I had multiple females together was kind of a nightmare, although it was mostly an issue of personalities. But even with the males, with different personalities I had, it wasn't as hard to keep them in line.

But I really do love my female dog BECAUSE I like how she can put things in order much faster than anyone else. And be equally caring and lovable.

If I had to own only a single dog, I would definitely go for a female first.

[ramertt]

Great job explaining. Just so you know I am a experienced handler so I got a kick when you said “then you wouldn’t be watching this”. I enjoy your training videos and your opinions are alway spot on. Keep up the great work.
Completely agree with the same sex fighting!

So nice to see these two playing together. My male GSD is my best friend and although not very affectionate, he guards me and loves me from afar. All dogs are good but the GSD is the best.

We had a golden GSD who had a ciger burn on his side and he was a true GSD he was strong, broad, independent, confident, etc. He was a stray and began staying with us after sometime. He became very protective of us and was so gentle when it came to kids. When he stood on his hind legs he could face you eye to eye and my parents are 5'8-9.

I remember one day he was crossing the road and the road got busy and a truck came and he decided to be superdog jumped over it and we had to take him to the vet.

That's when we found that big ciger burn was a shotgun bullet they couldn't take it out cause it wasn't bothering him and it was keeping him alive lol. We lost him I think a year later.

We believe he lived with us to have a comfortable life knowing it was close to his time. He was around 15-20s anyway.

What about blood lines, genetics, tempermant testing, show line vs working lines in, different drives, etc.. in specifically malinois and German shepard can you make a video on that please.. love the content

[jarrech]

I've had both males and females. Personally, I'd rather deal with females. They're a lot easier, better to work with than male counterparts. A year ago we decided to get a new GSD. It's been 7 years since last GSD. Got out voted 3-1 and got a bicolor male. Overall, he's awesome, excellent temperament. Still dealing with stubbornness lol. When he was younger, he would try testing the wife and kids and unranked them, never in a viscous way. He's much better now, but still can see the difference when I'm dealing with him. I still think females are a little easier to deal with .

Had german shepherd's for forty years, all intact males. The minimum I had was three and the max seven, never had one fight amongst them, funnily enough it has always been the female springers that were the bossy ones.

[rdwilander]

Great video and like the setting of you talking and videoing the dogs playing. Would be great to do a video on dog interactions that go "wrong" how to minimize, how to break, etc

“If you are one of these crazy people that fixes their dogs with a few months of age”. That will ruffle some feathers here with a lot of USA people. Here that’s the norm compared to other countries where they have seen that fixing them early has bad health results on the long run. A lot of people do it for convenience and because they are told so. You have to fix them in the first 6 months. Most vets will tell you.
