How to select in the middle of a Male Or Female Puppy

Males vs. Female puppy - what's the difference? I have found it to be entertaining that most often population believe that girl puppies will grow up to be more affectionate and easier to house break than males, and that boy puppies, without exception, will at last start to urine-mark his territory - thus destroying furniture and carpets.

As a breeder, I have observed female and male puppies, as well as female/male adult dogs, individually and in group environments. This chance has given me some insight to the, sometimes misleading and confusing differences between the two genders. It is leading to understand that an unaltered (not spayed or neutered) dog will behave differently than an altered (spayed or neutered) dog no matter the gender of the dog.

Considering a Female Dog? Then think This... When asked to share my concept of the temperaments between male and female dogs, I all the time start off by pointing out that the temperament of one dog can be very separate of that of another dog âEur" the sex of the dog having dinky or nothing to do with it. However, I have made some observations in regards to female puppies/dogs that I am happy to share with others.

Temperament Traits Some unaltered (not spayed) female dogs can be described as a Diva Dog. This all the time gets a laugh, especially from those who know what I am talking about. These Diva Dogs tend to be very independent preferring time alone over being petted or pampered. They can also be stubborn which can make potty training, and other obeisance training, a bit harder. I once had a 4 month old female puppy that spent the entire one hr puppy kindergarten class (2 days a week) sitting with her back turned to the other puppies in class. She would half heartily participate, if I was involved, but when it was puppy play time, she would sit finding out the fence  as far away from the other puppies as she could get - giving an occasional discern over her shoulder to see if I was still there. It was confident that she did not think the other puppies 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 as to the Dog Pack dynamics. Unaltered females (ones that have not been spayed) are commonly the ones that are in control of the pack. They determine the pecking order, and woe to any dog that does not follow orders. For this reason, an unaltered female can be intent upon showing her dominance over other females. commonly I propose population that already have a female dog in the family, and are finding to add a second dog, to get a male.

Considering a Male Dog? Then Read On... As I mentioned before, it is my firm confidence the temperament of dogs differ, just like the temperaments of humans. It would be unfair to say that human girl babies are great than human boy babies or vice versa and the same is true of puppies.

However; I have made some observations of male dogs over the years that I can share with others. Urine Marking Although it is true that unaltered (not neutered) male dogs have a greater prestige for territorial marking unaltered females can, and will, mark their territory just like males - especially if she feels threatened. I have learned that the personality of each puppy and adult dog plays a more leading role than gender. Dominance or lack of it, sociability, and or temperament is seldom specifically associated to the sex of the dog.

Neutering One option, to diminish a dogs desire to urine mark, is to think Spaying/Neutering. Although I truly believe that having a dog altered is not a substitute for training, Mar Vista Animal curative town placed in Los Angeles, points out that urine marking is eliminated in 50% of neutered male dogs. Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as 'humping', or 'marking' and lifting of legs.

Once the testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors will disappear. The behaviors that are sometimes changed are; the interest in roaming is eliminated in 90% of neutered dogs. Aggressive behavior against other male dogs is eliminated in 60% of neutered dogs. Urine marking is eliminated in 50% of neutered male dogs. Inappropriate mounting is eliminated in 70% of neutered dogs, according to the Mar Vista Animal curative Center.
