Girl or boy: which gender of dog is better to choose and how are they different

23.02.2025 22:56

Often, before getting a dog, people already know in advance which breed they like best.

Therefore, the question of the pet's gender is relegated to the second gender, and in vain, since males and females differ greatly in temperament.

Differences between girls and boys

Let's start with the fact that males are larger than females, and they are also more active. Therefore, you should immediately prepare for long walks, since males need to sniff and mark every post on their way.

It is also necessary to take into account the fact that males constantly react to females, especially if the latter are in heat. Therefore, this fact must be taken into account, especially if you prefer to walk your dog without a leash, otherwise you will have to look for your pet after it escapes.

This is why you need to show the dog who is the boss in the house so that he starts to obey.

At the same time, females are easier to train and become more attached to their owner; the individuals themselves are distinguished by their more modest size.

Disobedience in girls occurs twice a year during estrus.

That is why experienced people often prefer to deal with females. However, if you are confident that you can raise an animal, then you can choose a male.
