Although each dog is unique, there are people who prefer to have only females or only males. But What to choose when you are going to adopt or acquire one? Is it true that females tend to be more affectionate and males more independent?
We solve these and other frequent doubts to make it easier for you to decide on one or the other.
What is the male dog like?
Physically male dogs are usually slightly larger than females. If we focus on his character, usually based on my experience, they tend to be a little more independent but a lot more playful, to the point that it could be said that they are eternal adolescents, since they also tend to be somewhat more disobedient.
Yes, they are very special and very affectionate, but if you opt for one, do not hesitate to take it to be castrated at 6-8 months (depending on whether it is small or large) to prevent it from marking with urine and mounting objects, people ... or dogs. Once neutered, they have a great tendency to calm down, something that you will surely be happy to know 🙂.
How is the bitch?
The bitch are usually much more lovingI would even dare to say more dependent of his human family. They are educated somewhat more easily, and they usually adore children. But it is also highly recommended to castrate her at 6-8 months, to avoid unwanted litters and to have a calmer character.
Still and still any dog, male or female, can quickly become your best friend. You just have to provide the necessary care (water, food, daily walks) and treat him with respect from the first day he arrives at your home and in your life.
I hope I was able to help you, at least a little, in choosing one or the other 🙂.
