you need to make it clear these are generalisations! people looking to get their first dog will take this info as god given facts when the reality is every dog is different, mostly based on the dogs character background and social standing
I have had both males and females of many breeds in my life. I do love both however, I will adopt females from here on out. My experience has been that females are easier to housebreak and don’t want to roam the way males do. My Yorkie/Cairn is female and will be 19 yo in November and doing remarkably well. She has spent a third of my life with me! Our days together have always been precious. I’m treasuring every one as she will move on sooner than later.
@@andrewberg8333 I promise you, I DO! She is a treasure. She has always been sweet and loving and full of life. She sleeps a lot now yet, when I get home, even with a weak bark, she greets me like I am the Queen of The Universe! Sometimes I lift her to where she used to roll in our pillows on the bed when I came home lol. I’ve had many dogs and cats in my life (and a bird). I genuinely believe Amma is the embodiment of God love and she has taught me more than any human has.
@@edrathephoenix Wow! Hope you and your sweet girl continue to make as many wonderful memories as you can. Would love to know your dog's diet and exercise routine to live such a long life. I know breed plays a major part in longevity but is there a particular dog food or anything you recommend? God bless you and your dog!
@@shayh.. My dog eats Beneful for older dogs - nothing special. I do testify for Ultimate Pet Nutrition’s Nutra Thrive Canine Nutritional Supplement.People are amazed by her beautiful coat. I also give her a WNZ treat before I feed her everyday. It contains Turmeric w glucosamine and condition sulphate for her joints. I do believe she naturally has great longevity. Her legs are getting weak but she is still happy and pain free, as far as her vet and I can tell.
@@edrathephoenix Thanks so much for sharing! I'll have to look into the Ultimate Pet Nutrition’s Nutra Thrive Canine Nutritional Supplement and WNZ treat. Happy to hear your girl is still happy and pain-free!
I rescued a male spaniel mix over 4 and a half years ago and he definitely likes my wife more than he likes me but I am ok with that,as long as he stays happy with the both of us,❤️😎👍
You are a very, very good friend of your dog. Just wanting him happy! That's real, that's love! I must say though that 2 of my sons (grown man by now) have been dog magnets all their lives. The moment either one of them enters a room any dog is just drawn to them. It's amazing to see.
@johnfloyd838 I think men are more likely to abuse dogs. Our rescue, a female was scared of me for awhile. It took a year before she was 50/50 with me and my girlfriend. Now my girlfriend calls her my shadow. She goes everywhere with me. I think she sees me as the Alpha of the pack. She loves us both, but if we're both home, she follows me. To be fair, I'm the easier touch when it comes to treats, so maybe I won her attention with bribery. 😂
I'm a man and have found female dogs far easier to live with. Less aggression toward both humans and other animals, and less drama at the dog park because they don't engage in dominance scuffles. I don't need a dog for protection, so that's not a consideration for me. Another major (selfish) reason is that when it's raining and it's time for them to do their business, the female dogs mostly just want to do it, and get back inside out of the rain (just like me). Male dogs still want to walk around and pee in 5 different spots. Granted, this is anecdotal evidence based solely on dogs I've had in 50 years of ownership. Edit: Side note - why on earth would someone have 6 holes poked in their dog's ears (see 2:27 ) so their dog can have "bling". Humans are so vain and selfish.
Awee, aren't the Female Beagle the Bestest!! 🩷 My last 1 lived til 14 - I'll never ever replace her. I had her and her litter mate brother, (my Sons Pup of only 7yrs-nasal cancer) when they passed - privately cremated - they're now together in a Urn next to my bed. When I go they go with me. When I was born ' my Dad had his prized Female Beagle next too me - I don't recall her - she was stolen from him - this broke his heart...still effects me as I don't trust any1 w/my Pups. I have a 4yr old Male now - he's my last one...unless I foster. Happy to read your story and your caring heart that continues into your dreams. She's with you all the time - surly she taught you quite a bit - maybe enough knowledge so if you're young and settled you could raise a male, w/the "female Beagle" in you to get past 4yrs of oh.... boy...Love. I'm ranting.... Beagles are super. Just keep em close and on a secure leash...you know!!! Sniffers n keep on sniffin. Stay alert as if they're toddlers. Take Care.
Years ago, when I had a male dog, I quickly learned his dislike for male humans and male dogs. However, he loved females, humans and dogs. He especially loved little girls and felt no fear of them even if they were strangers. In fact, he sought their attention. He was a small dog and when I took him to the dog park for small dogs, he made friends with small female dogs, especially if she looked like him. He even became protective of them, being able to distinguish their barking from many yards away in a crowd of other dogs. He would immediately rush over to see why she was barking and act aggressively to any dog that appeared to threaten her. He was a very cute dog; and strangers would approach him and remark on how sweet he looked. There was never a problem with their getting close and even petting him -- if the stranger was a woman or girl. When we passed men on the street as we walked by, he would often bark aggressively, and if a repair man came to the house to fix something, or even just stood at the door, he barked aggressively. He tolerated male dogs only if they were small and not domineering.
Timing of neutering/spaying is very important if this is done too early in large /x-large dogs they risk hip dysplasia, ACL problems, elbow dysplasia & lymphoma their epiphysis(growth plates) must have fused before neutering or spaying
Yes. Learned this the hard way. My Rotti/Pitti 100 lb male had 2 TPLO surgeries. He was rescued from city pound and was neutered at a very early age before I got him.
@@sundayhumphrey2810 Yeah. Same with our pit rescue. I wish they would stop because it's detrimental to the dog's health at such an early age. He was chopped at like 2 months old.... I asked the pound why, and it's because he is an "aggressive" breed and they wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to get this way from an early age. I'm like...do you know what happens do a boy if you cut his testies off at like 6 years old? Same thing as a dog. Their bodies don't develop properly and it interferes w/their health. Our pit is only 90lbs...but he was going to be 120 if they waited. He has hip and bone issues.
That's awesome. They are definitely healthier if they aren't neutered and any honest veterinarian will tell you that. In fact my friend's German Sheppard was 11 and had such bad hip problems he could barely walk. He started giving him some TRT injections. 30mg a week. His mood improved, his mobility improved slightly and he seemed to be in less pain. Testosterone is a big deal! Spayed females have even more problems as they are missing Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone. Treating all 3 is expensive. Generally male dogs do ok without Estrogen and Progesterone, but males have these in much lower levels naturally.
We've had male and female dogs. Our Corgi was a rescue. He'd been given up because of fighting other dogs and had a leg amputated. He was beautiful and very sweet with people. The first thing we did was get him neutered. We worked with our vets and got to the point where he would ignore our other male, a very non dominant Westie. Because of the situation we had to try and have the two dogs live with us. We've also had three female Cairns. Even though they were the same breed, they were all different in their own ways. Breed gives you a general idea of how a dog will behave, but every dog has their own personality. It really makes life interesting and fun.🙂🐶💜
I agree with the breed personalities not being spot on. My pug acts like a Jack Russel and is healthy as a horse. She is also a little aloof. Pugs are supposed to be lap dogs LOL.
@jeanettemarkley7299 breed guidelines are only guidelines, not a guarantee of what you'll get personality wise. Upbringing plays a massive part in how your dog will turn out. I have two cairn terriers. They are a mixture of typical terrier traits along with their own unique personality traits. Oh, and they're pretty lazy.
Yes, except.... I would refer you to the UC Davis study on golden retrievers and other large breeds. It suggests that suggests that spay and neutering some larger breeds should be delayed because of other factors such as risk of hip dysplasia, ligament development, and some cancers.
@Amygondor Agreed, it's primarily a risk for dogs that could get loose and become feral. Otherwise, the owner shouldn't need to do it as early as typically recommended. The studies suggest that for smaller dogs, the risk of early spay/neuter was smaller. For Goldens specifically, the studies do indicate that it reduced the chance of female diseases such as uterine cancers when preformed at 5-7 years old. It's up to the individual owner, but I want to take the actions that will give my female golden pup the greatest chance of a long and happy life. I recommend everyone do the research and decide for themselves.
I have my first yorkie. It's a girl and she's so energetic and sassy but also clingy and loving. But weirdly enough we get along even though she does get sassy with me I'm a female btw so weirdly enough I don't think the first one is inaccurate or accurate maybe just preference likes yours
I have a Yorkie boy, very young under 2, he prefers me.. My last Yorkie boy JUST loved me. Both shy males, very sweet. My female yorkie I had for 15 years, loved me and my husband almost equal, maybe me a bit more...She was very outgoing wanted to say hi to all dogs/people. She was my very best friend, just so so social, very sweet also. I'm quiet, like my boy dogs. (female here). Yorkies are the best!
I have a 2 1/2 yo male Yorkie; he is the friendliest pup you could hope to meet. He loves people, other dogs, small & large, m/f & he gets along w/ cats. When we take him camping, he acts as the 'greeter ' at the campsite's entrance rushing out for dogs, kids & people. If you take him for a walk, & he hasn't met enough friends, he'll drag me, all 9# of him, into another campsite where he has spotted a dog or a couple. I think he's a little needy, eh?!? Now, we did do a lot of socialization with him when he was just weeks old & it seems to have paid off. And he is very affectionate with us. One of his friends is a Staffy, another is a Maltese: these he sees on a fairly regular basis. Others he meets on walks. We generally check with the owner of the dog is friendly. Met a thirteen yo Yorkie a few years ago camping (fortunately Sam was out for a swim): she was about 5/6# & the yappyest, most snarling nipper I'd ever met. Her male Yorkie companion was much bigger, younger & not aggressive! If you got past the little monster, you could pet him. So nature or nurture??
I’ve always had male dogs but ever since I accidentally wound up with a female husky I’ll never go back to male dogs! She is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had and lived to a ripe old age of 12 now I have another female pointer and just like the husky this one is just as sweet and very smart. She learned the leash on the very first day I put her on one and to shake hand in two days and to lay in just one day and she’s only 4 months old.
Mica, my male border collie, liked only me , my brother and my friend Jim. He never roamed. Was very protective of me. Lived a long life of 14 years. I miss him every day!
These are HUGE GENERALISATIONS! All my dogs female/male or male/male have got along well. My male dog loves my dad much more than any of the other dogs. Only one of my male dogs is independent and roamed. Female dog is also independent. Female on heat didn’t really change behaviour (she’s always good natured). Mounting seems no different in my females/males depends on the dog. A lot of studies are bias against male dogs and paint males as more dominant - this REALLY depends on the male dog! (I’m a female owner). I would say psychically almost all males end up slightly bigger (either taller or heavier). And it does seem that females tend to be more relaxed around unknown dogs and male dogs seem more likely to be protective of areas, my female is more interested in sniffing and marking than any of our male dogs
We adopted a male Labsky or Huskador/ Half Husky-Half Lab and he had his hackles up like a wolf when we first saw him........he was SO in fear and now is the biggest most loyal and loving smart dog. He however is VERY protective so is a great watch/guard dog and is in a good home with lots of land and fenced in area. I have no clue why someone gave up this awesome boy other than finances as they had him fixed and microchipped. :(
i have had 11 dogs both male and female and have experienced these differences. I prefer female dogs, but have had male dogs that i loved. Fixing them DOES make a difference in their behavior. I have a nephew that didn't believe fiixing his dog and now he is not controllable. Spaying and neutering is the best thing you can do to have a great pet.
I've had both genders.I usually have pairs so they entertain each other right now.I have 2 girls.You just raise happy dogs and it doesn't matter.And train them from the moment you get them❤
I'm 71 and always owned large guard dogs. Do yourself a big favor and always get you pet neutered. I like males but that is just a preference. I think I'll try a female Doberman next. I don't crop their ears but was sorry I didn't crop the last doberman's whip tail. A dogs desire to please you is far more important than how smart they are. I love GSDs but not the constant vacuuming. Love boxers but not the drooling. All big dogs need big bags of dog poop and produce lots of huge poops. Only get a Huskey if you live in the far north and like a challenge. Dalmations should be owned by runners or cyclists.
Feed raw and you won’t get lots of poop. Correctly fed most of it gets processed by the body. Small, almost odourless poop. Those giant piles are the useless processed pellets going straight through. I had 5 Great Danes and 6 dobies at one point 😊
Good advise! I live in Florida & are dismayed to see people here owning huskies. Feel bad for the dog living in the heat. Also, I had a pug & heat bothered him breathing with the short snout.
We're a Sheltie family. For 12 and 16 years, we had girls together. Rhi passed at 12. She had congenital back issues and had no feeling in her back but hopped as she ran. She was definitely my dog, and she took care of me when I had pain (I'm disabled). Isis lived to be 16 and was the one who would go between me and my husband (I got her for him). She would be my alert dog, getting my husband when I fell, she even escorted the EMTs in when I fell when alone, showing them where I was. When Rhi died, we got a male Sheltie we named Sully. He was supposed to be my new service dog but he immediately bonded to my husband. He loves me, but he's definitely a daddy's boy. He was born the day Rhi passed away, which was a surprise when I found a breeder in another state with him. When Isis passed, we got another male Sheltie we named Aska (OOshka--which means Thunder in Swedish, he was born in a thunderstorm). He's a mess. It's taken him longer to adapt to the house, he wants to be dominate but Sully isn't having it. It took me a bit to get him where he would come to me, he wants to sit back and watch everything. But, we're working on training him on the pain problems and when it cools down from the hot S.E. Texas summer, we'll start walking them again (we have a back yard with a dog door). They need to work with my wheelchair. We may pick up another female to go with the boys (everyone will be spay/neutered) so I can have a cuddle puppy.
One of our 4 pups is going on 17. He used to be the one sounding the alarm when something was wrong with me and take me to my meds every morning after breakfast. Now he's nearly deaf and blind and doesn't get around that easy anymore. One of our young huskies started to volunteer his services. All our pups are boys, between 2 and 4 years. Our girl died the week before Christmas last year. She was very sweet but had never learned how to play with people, just like her brother. All our dogs are rescues so sometimes we don't know what happened in their lives before. I'm not in a wheelchair (yet) but due to my chronic pain I often do need help and seeing our young husky stepping up is really sweet. I know you must miss your two shelties a lot. I hope you'll get your female companion. It is nice to have a girl brightening up the pack. One of our dogs friends is a sweet husky girl and whenever she comes over the boys treat her like a princess.
Oh, no! Getting a female when you already have two males who are having dominance issues will only make things worse. It will cause competition between them for the female’s attention, and your male dogs could end up hurting one another.
Had female dogs almost my entire life. Our grown son got our 1st male dog. He preferred our son. We now have another male and he definitely prefers my husband. All of our girls have preferred me. We spay/neuter all of our critters. Cats and dogs alike.
Their evidence for male dogs preferring women was a study exclusively testing on reactions to strangers. I agree that male dogs are usually the most obsessed with the man of the house.
In my experience, it depends on many factors. I'm a woman and have a female JRT. She is my second female, Jack. Both girls have been incredibly loyal to me compared to the male dogs I have grown up with. I will always choose a female, they are great.
I rescued a 2 year old male Jack Russel 3 months ago and I must agree males are way more difficult to adopt the females I rescued settled in the same day but the male challenged me and tested me He was passed around 4 times in 2 months so I told myself if this was me how would I feel He is with me for just short of 3 months and he is enjoying the everyday walkies and constant attention and love Thanks for a very informative video
I have had both male and female chihuahuas. My female was very easy to potty train, smarter in general and learned commands very easy, alerts with a bark but likes everyone and never aggressive. My male loves his family but more territorial and barks a lot at everything, like literally looking for a reason to go on a barking tangent as he is hyper sensitive to sounds. He can be difficult with strangers, overall much more hyper and was more difficult to train, seems to have energy for days. Overall I prefer female dogs and don’t think I would get another male dog.
Female dogs are much more independent; male dogs are much more needy. Just like humans. I have found in my 40 years of owning and breeding dogs that males are much more clingy and cuddly and wanting to be around you/on top of you all the time; while females are much more aloof and want to be next to you (not on you) or on the floor near you (not on top of you). Of course, this is a general observation based on 40 years of experience. There are aloof male dogs and clingy female dogs that do not fit the bill. Exceptions to the rule always exist. Please do not tell me you have a needy female dog who needs to be on top of you or an independent male dog who hates being on top of you. My educated observations are based on studying dogs over 40 years. I have had MANY people disappointed that their female dogs were not affectionate enough and many more people surprised that their male dogs were more affectionate than any female dog they ever had.
Earnest my boy hates males he sprays after hissing at his rival! Found best product to get rid of spraying! My grandpa was a vet he didn't recommend neutering males so we never did! My dog wouldn't leave the yard when a female in heat came over! Vet was shocked by this! He mated with an English sheep dog he was an Australian blue Merrill shepherd! Their offspring were odd looking! My dog was so gentle with my new born!
Meanwhile, My current dog Perdita, (Perdi.) came from a litter of 16 pups. Her mother Coco. (Liver spotted Dal.) and a family friend's Black spotted Dal (Triton.) Had one hell of a time as first time parents. Poor Coco managed to push Perdi and her younger sister out before having to be rushed to get a C section.... and Triton was brought along for moral and emotional support for the entirety of it all. He was so concerned and anxious about it all and insisted in resting with Coco for the duration of her recovery.... The families of both dogs were amazed at Triton's interest and protectiveness over Coco and the pups. He was an amazing first time dad. :)
LOL, I came to the comments to say the same! I've had many dogs and cats, male and female, and the females were definitely smarter and more independent, the boys more loving and simpler.
@@mwahha6965yep, breeders are in it for the money. Don't take anything they say seriously. Anyone that mates dogs over and over to death shouldn't be taken seriously.
Our female Lab definitely preferred me (female) than my husband. But I'm naturally more dominant & am a but taller. 🤷♀️ I also did most of the training.
Always have only boy dogs. Even as a foster I had 90% boys. They are actually more easygoing and tend to get along with other dogs more easily. Love my boys
My male dog is nothing like what is described in this video. Maybe because he's Bull Mastiff that was desexed at around eight months of age. He's also now coming up to 13 years old and is doing well.
I have a male (n) and a female (s) basset hound. While they both have very similar basset hound personality traits, the male seems to seek out approval and affection, while the female is very sweet, but more competitive and "entitled." So the male wants to lay down by (or..on me, really) in a loving-to-be-loved way, the female does the same because she thinks she deserves to be there, like a princess. Also, she likes to choose the bed where the male was heading to lie down on, and he just lets her have her way and moves to the other one. It's really funny, but there is definitely some m/f dog psychology going on there! And with toys, she is usually very much in charge, but they do get along great together.
I have found female bassets to be very moody. I love them both, but I’ll never live without a male Basset . I have a 10-year-old male and I’m about to get a male puppy. I’m hoping with all of my heart they love each other!
My female black lab mix ... dominated every dog she encountered. They would submit or yield to around her. She was 89lbs and had a tumor. I adopted her when she was 8 years old,.. very chill dog.. but not one dog dominated her ever. No matter what. I was impressed. She ignored little dogs and cats... too tiny, didn't shake her. but other dogs She would get a whole pack of dogs running away or submitting. In her last home she was a backyard dog, owner died, then I got her.. So I disagree that males dogs are dominant. It just depends on the dog. .
Many women become apprehensive and tense when encountering an unknown man. A dog would identify and react to their female owners tension and would be alert to a potential threat from unknown men.
@@Amygondor 'Male dogs are imposing and complete brutes' - Um, no, actually they're not. You have obviously never owned a male dog, or if you did ? You did a very poor job of raising it. Male dogs pee outside to mark their territory. It's instinctive. If they're peeing inside it shows either poor housetraining or perhaps some sort of infection or other problem. I have an intact male Collie who loves other dogs, gets along with everyone, and is always ready to play with them. I kept him intact because - contrary to this video, and others like it with 'old school ideas' - it is often healthier for them overall to be kept intact. And that's revealed in videos by Dr. Judy Morgan who has many videos on dogs and cats, and on such topics, all over You Tube. Whereas a friend's spayed female border collie cross, is a snarly faced terror towards my dog. How do you explain that ? She's the one that's 'imposing' and a 'complete brute' - using your words.
@@TheBeastOfBeauty Why are you yelling - since that's what CAPITALIZED letters represent? You're the one that sounds upset. Your opinion on the vet's site doesn't matter to me. You're one person. She has many followers, and other vets that appear in her videos and agree with her, who have used her methods - like limiting vaccinations ( many dogs literally suffer from OVER vaccination, and develop diseases and ailments linked directly to that over vaccination), NOT feeding some of the commercial dog foods due to all the chemicals and garbage in them ( dog DNA, anyone?), and feeding their pets human quality meats, eggs, vegetables and other such healthy ingredients. The many comments on her videos praise her advice, and prove that they work, as the people's dogs are healthier than they're ever been, AND living longer lives, using her tried and tested methods. 'Nothing succeeds like success' as the saying goes.
It's explained in the video. They don't necessarily they just perceive larger, deeper voiced humans with facial hair as more threatening than smaller, higher voiced humans without facial hair. I do believe they pick up some things based on scent. Not to be gross, but my dog will sniff my crotch when I'm on my period.
I have pitbulls since I'm 16, now 55 and its all crap what they tell here. Both male and female are responding equally, all of them got 11 to 12 years old, no difference, no big differences nutered or not. Only thing I noticed, they love kids!! Aggressive, no, only if other animals show bad behavior ours will just ignore them. Don't bother them or us owners then they won't bother you
@auroraborealis13579 the term 'man's best friend', also includes women. Women are included in the race of 'man', hence the wo'man' part of the name. Dogs are man's (humans) best friend.
Everybody who has been around dogs knows all this. Now, if we can convince people that humans are the same. Yes, Virginia, men and women are different.
I've had 2 male dogs only. They have been challenging, but I wouldn't change them at all. I'm open to adopting a female later in life, but definitely love having had my two boys. Best company ever
I have 14 yr old intact male yorkie poo he is so loving and healthy. Also have a 10 yr female maltipom she is territorial not as cuddly. I love them both ❤❤
My male who had a great disposition was always trying to go roaming (kept me on alert), disliked other males, and humped any new female (if I didn't quickly put a frisbee in his mouth, it refocused him away from humping). He was very friendly with people but cautious with men. I prefer females (just allows me to relax while walking her) after having 5 dogs, but loved all my male dogs. Dogs are a gift!
That explains Jaxon my male german shepherd low content wolf . He was overly productive of his pups and would refuse to let anyone come close to them except me.
@Amygondor sorry I didn't notice, I meant protective, not productive . Jaxon passed away years ago of old age( 14yrs ). I had him sins he was 2 month old , and we didn't know that he was mixed until he became older.
There are always exception to the usual trends. Our male husky is very paternal...to kittens. He also likes critters in general; over the years he's brought us about five or six possums, all alive. He seems to think that they need to live with us.
I have an entire 14 month male dog, who will lick anyone to death. He's calm, gentle and very loving. He doesn't stray. In fact, he isn't overly phased by girl dogs at all. he will pick a neutered male any day over a female on heat. He doesn't start fights or push other dogs around. He Is an amazing dog, and I have no worries with him around anyone. babies and kids included or any other animals. And I'm sure there is loads more like him out there. This video is sending the wrong message out to people.
I've always owned (bar from 1 retriever) terrier mixes, the first 3 were males, I was given a staffy girl puppy and noticed a difference straight away, so when she passed I looked for another girl and rehomed a jack/staffy mix, what a little gem she was, an all round good girl we had her for 12 years and she contracted Cushings Desease which unfortunately claimed her life 2 years ago. Got a little Patterjack this time of course a female, another beautiful soul and although she was hard to train, at 2 years old she is the calmest terrier I've ever owned, an all round beautiful little soul. She did levitate towards my husband but I think I detatched myself from her at first after loosing the last dog. My husband is still her bestie now, but me and her slowly grew to love eachother, she's very protective and loves nothing more than a good dinner and to snuggle up to watch t.v. with us. I do slightly prefer female dogs❤
I've always leaned toward male dogs, nothing like a bromance after all.😁 My two boys are two of the greatest dogs ever. They're both muts, I got one from the pound, and my little guy just showed up one day. Nothing against the girls, but it just seems I've had great luck with my boys.
Interesting, I've had both male and female but I prefer females and especially females who had puppies before I adopted them. These females have been my most loving, protective companions.
Over the years I've had both male and female canine companions. After my male shih tzu companion passed away, I adopted a retired breeder female labradoodle and promptly had her spayed. My beautiful Opal is the best canine companion I've ever had.
i've had two male golden retrievers, and there was no dominating about them. They were not afraid of men. I don't think this applies to all breeds. My female shepherd is afraid of men. She follows me so closely that she steps on my heels when I'm wearing flip-flops. my experience w dogs is the opposite of what you say male and female dogs are.
Exactly ! As the dog trainer Cesar Milan always says with dogs its: nose, ears, eyes when assessing someone. The exact opposite of humans as they 'assess' someone new, which is eyes, ears, nose, in that order.
My sweet gentle Aussie girl loves other dogs and used to pine for the neighbors dogs through the fence, so we wanted to get her a dog of her own. Tried twice with males. They ended up beating her up and we had to return them (they had happy adoptions later). Our success came with another female Aussie from the pound. She’s bossy but very protective of her beloved sister. they love each other, run and play together and are just like yin and yang. Go figure.
NEW subscriber. THANKS for the Post. Doggies have to be one of the Greatest Joys we Humans get. I have seen entire families LIFTED out of dark depression, when several family members had been injured or sick, by one bitty pupdog who made them remember playful sweet innocence again. ALSO, Thanks especially for the new term. ===> *_"Superfecundation"_* That gives me a _polite_ handle suitable for general conversation, to describe some of the women I've known...
I had two female rescues that I got a couple of years apart. The bigger one was very submissive and the one less than half her size was the more dominant. They got along great!
I had a male pit bull who would let his grown sons come back to visit! He was a great doggy daddy. I now have an intact male French mastiff and the only thing he will bite is food. I guess it’s in the training.
I always preferred female dogs. Males are more independent. The female is more bonded to her family than males. My first female German Shepherd always accepted other dogs, but if they challenged her, he would grab them by the throat and hold them down until they gave up. She then let them up and never again had any problems about who the dominant was. She was the queen! She never initiated a fight, but never lost one either.
Yep... I have a fiesty rescue male Doberman with his balls. Had him just over a year. 3rd Doberman. 2nd rescue. He was a little mistreated before. He's bit my head twice and had a pop right in my face but thankfully didn't bite. But the last time was mid November. I couldn't touch him when layed down. I can now. He does like women, and is weary of men. He likes a play with female dogs and males only if TOTALLY friendly. He has been attacked while on lead bt two dogs off lead that ran at him. (2 separate occasions) he dealt with them rather easily 😂. He's very protective / aware. Break in to my house at your own peril. He sniffs and dribbles at every pee done by other dogs. Only just the last few months I've been letting him off the lead in areas to chase rabbits and rummage. He loves it! His recall is pretty good even when swithed on. He wears an e-collar 😮.... I live near livestock. A shock is better than dead sheep, dead dog, big bill.... If you ever use an e-collar, do it correctly! Let your dog wear it a few days before use or the dog may become collar wise. When using, don't act like you're using it. So say if it headed at sheep, (on a long lead) don't say or do anything just hit the button and let your dog tell its self off. Vibrate is good for less 'important' issues.
I really wish that I had known about the dangers of not getting my dog spayed when we knew we wouldn't breed her. She ended up getting Pyometria and almost died, it cost a hell of a lot of money to get her better and she lived only a couple more years after it :(
Some interesting details I didn’t know, like the fact that a spayed female lives longer. Have you not heard of Bobbi - a dog in Portugal, who lived to be over 31 years old. A purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo
I have a female Black lab/Chow mix. She is an excellent watch dog, very protective of the family and very intelligent. I don't think she knows she is a dog because she is given the same dignity and love as everyone in the family.
Female dogs also wonder in search of mates. If they are fixed before the first heat they are puppies forever, though. My pug girl had to wait to be spayed due to covid lockdown and is a little active in that sexy way, but has not tried to escape. She LOVES male dogs, though.
About lifespan: I've had 6 dogs in about 50 years, 3 males and 3 females including my current 2 year old female. I've had males for 43 years and females for 15 years. Statistics don't always apply on an individual basis.
I have always been partial to male dogs, I ve had a female Shih Tzu now for 14 yrs, she has always been Miss Independence,never liked cuddles and had my Angel Chewy for 15yrs he was my everything ! tho he got his wings on 3/30/2019,he sent me Bentley a Pomshi, He is more of a Mama's boy. So I still remain partial to male puppers!
My dog Fred knew he was the ONLY male at my home, with two women and three female dogs _ and he behaved PROTECTIVELY towards all of us, as well as liked to give us " orders" on time to eat, sleep, get out, etc. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
We've had several dogs--both male and female. Our experience has been that male dogs are more likely to want to cuddle with you or sleep on your lap. Female dogs would rather sleep near you but not ON you. I think anthropomorphizing is a problem when people are describing the differences between male and female dogs.
I had male dogs mostly, and not one of them was aggressive, or wanted to bite anybody. None of them ever growled at anybody. I don’t know. I think it all has to do with how you treat your dog if you treat them like part of the family they act like part of the family and they behave themselves as long as you teach them, manners from the day, you introduce them to your family. You have to train them immediately. My dogs were always well behaved. And another thing they learn how to do their business outside as soon as I Shome, they know the rules. I must have a real good connection with my fur babies. I’ve been a dog owner since I am a young child. My first dog was when I was about five and I’ve always had one. I would be lost without one. Right now I have a male and a female. And they both have their own personalities just like kids. I love them and they love me back.❤
My 3 most loyal special dogs who were also my absolute soulmates: female pitty, male unneutered dachshund, neutered jack russel. Just got another male and female Jack from the shelter. Both are absolute honeys but am seeing the male wanting to be my number one. Growing up we mostly had female boxers who all adored my mother. Two males: one keeshond and a rottie. Loved the keeshond but my mother did not like this. The rottie adored my dad and was his soulmate. I find males to be absolute soft momma's boys, forever looking for attention and cuddles- to an extend of faking injuries. Girls are independand and feisty until it is snuggle time in the evening.
I disagree on saying male dogs are not good fathers. I have a male dog and in a different litter i got a male puppy and my first dog was loving and went on to teach the puppy who was growing up how to deffend himself.
I’ve always had boy dogs, but somehow ended up having two females in the mix (had to rescue them) at one point. I currently have two boys and a tiny girl. She’s the boss and she only weighs about five lbs. I love male dogs hands down. I do love and adore my little 16 yr old Bella though.
I've owned dogs my whole life. Mostly German Sheperds, but I breed Goldens now. I've never known a male dog to prefer women. Most dogs I see, male or female, prefer men.

Thank you so much for watching the video! 🧡
ahhhh I hope at some point you do one on Husky/Labrador mixes, I can dream :)
you need to make it clear these are generalisations! people looking to get their first dog will take this info as god given facts when the reality is every dog is different, mostly based on the dogs character background and social standing
Also in terms of male dogs in rescue centres, pointing this out is not really helpful for rehoming (I’ve worked for rspca kennels)
At least dogs are still str8. Women get yourself a dog instead of a dude at least the dogs are loyal, protect you & a str8!
you made me now not liking male dogs....😪
I have had both males and females of many breeds in my life. I do love both however, I will adopt females from here on out. My experience has been that females are easier to housebreak and don’t want to roam the way males do. My Yorkie/Cairn is female and will be 19 yo in November and doing remarkably well. She has spent a third of my life with me! Our days together have always been precious. I’m treasuring every one as she will move on sooner than later.
19!? Holy cow! Cherish that mate
@@andrewberg8333
I promise you, I DO! She is a treasure. She has always been sweet and loving and full of life. She sleeps a lot now yet, when I get home, even with a weak bark, she greets me like I am the Queen of The Universe! Sometimes I lift her to where she used to roll in our pillows on the bed when I came home lol. I’ve had many dogs and cats in my life (and a bird). I genuinely believe Amma is the embodiment of God love and she has taught me more than any human has.
@@edrathephoenix Wow! Hope you and your sweet girl continue to make as many wonderful memories as you can. Would love to know your dog's diet and exercise routine to live such a long life.

@@shayh.. My dog eats Beneful for older dogs - nothing special. I do testify for Ultimate Pet Nutrition’s Nutra Thrive Canine Nutritional Supplement.People are amazed by her beautiful coat. I also give her a WNZ treat before I feed her everyday. It contains Turmeric w glucosamine and condition sulphate for her joints.
I do believe she naturally has great longevity. Her legs are getting weak but she is still happy and pain free, as far as her vet and I can tell.
@@edrathephoenix Thanks so much for sharing! I'll have to look into the Ultimate Pet Nutrition’s Nutra Thrive Canine Nutritional Supplement and WNZ treat. Happy to hear your girl is still happy and pain-free!
I rescued a male spaniel mix over 4 and a half years ago and he definitely likes my wife more than he likes me but I am ok with that,as long as he stays happy with the both of us,❤️😎👍
Spaniels and spaniel mixes tend to like women, male or female. I’ve had 4, both male and female, and I’ve seen this to be true.
@@Amygondor I was told that he was abused by his previous owner and I got him after that happened to him at mostly mutu from a foster mom.
You are a very, very good friend of your dog. Just wanting him happy! That's real, that's love!
I must say though that 2 of my sons (grown man by now) have been dog magnets all their lives. The moment either one of them enters a room any dog is just drawn to them. It's amazing to see.
Dogs can sense if u are a friendly person 😀
@johnfloyd838 I think men are more likely to abuse dogs. Our rescue, a female was scared of me for awhile. It took a year before she was 50/50 with me and my girlfriend. Now my girlfriend calls her my shadow. She goes everywhere with me. I think she sees me as the Alpha of the pack. She loves us both, but if we're both home, she follows me. To be fair, I'm the easier touch when it comes to treats, so maybe I won her attention with bribery. 😂
I've had both male and female dogs. The males always seemed to have that Happy go lucky attitude.
I think that’s true of Collies.
Collies, both Border & Rough are The most awesome dog breed there is!! Soo intelligent, loyal and loving!!
Yeah true of humans too😂
@clairestevens3194 ya I have a male collie not an aggressive bone in his body he is just all love
I'm a man and have found female dogs far easier to live with. Less aggression toward both humans and other animals, and less drama at the dog park because they don't engage in dominance scuffles. I don't need a dog for protection, so that's not a consideration for me.
Another major (selfish) reason is that when it's raining and it's time for them to do their business, the female dogs mostly just want to do it, and get back inside out of the rain (just like me).
Male dogs still want to walk around and pee in 5 different spots.
Granted, this is anecdotal evidence based solely on dogs I've had in 50 years of ownership.
Edit: Side note - why on earth would someone have 6 holes poked in their dog's ears (see 2:27 ) so their dog can have "bling".
Humans are so vain and selfish.
Oh i loved my beagle, girl. I had her for 15 years and still dream about her 3 years without her.
Awee, aren't the Female Beagle the Bestest!! 🩷 My last 1 lived til 14 - I'll never ever replace her. I had her and her litter mate brother, (my Sons Pup of only 7yrs-nasal cancer) when they passed - privately cremated - they're now together in a Urn next to my bed. When I go they go with me. When I was born ' my Dad had his prized Female Beagle next too me - I don't recall her - she was stolen from him - this broke his heart...still effects me as I don't trust any1 w/my Pups. I have a 4yr old Male now - he's my last one...unless I foster. Happy to read your story and your caring heart that continues into your dreams. She's with you all the time - surly she taught you quite a bit - maybe enough knowledge so if you're young and settled you could raise a male, w/the "female Beagle" in you to get past 4yrs of oh.... boy...Love.
I'm ranting.... Beagles are super.
Just keep em close and on a secure leash...you know!!! Sniffers n keep on sniffin.
Stay alert as if they're toddlers.
Take Care.
Sorry for your loss , u never forget them
I understand, I have a Beagle named Raffi. He’s my best buddy ❤❤
@rchi3906 thank you 😊

i rescued my best boy and spent 12 wonderful years with him
We are inexplicably BLESSED to have such wonderful companions.
Awesome ❤❤❤ hack of this material reality on Earth.
My Zeus rescued ME, and gave me 17 awesome years!
from my experience, girl dogs r wayy more sweet and guy dogs r wayyy more funny 🫶🏽💯 they both show the same loyalty and smartness
Years ago, when I had a male dog, I quickly learned his dislike for male humans and male dogs. However, he loved females, humans and dogs. He especially loved little girls and felt no fear of them even if they were strangers. In fact, he sought their attention. He was a small dog and when I took him to the dog park for small dogs, he made friends with small female dogs, especially if she looked like him. He even became protective of them, being able to distinguish their barking from many yards away in a crowd of other dogs. He would immediately rush over to see why she was barking and act aggressively to any dog that appeared to threaten her. He was a very cute dog; and strangers would approach him and remark on how sweet he looked. There was never a problem with their getting close and even petting him -- if the stranger was a woman or girl. When we passed men on the street as we walked by, he would often bark aggressively, and if a repair man came to the house to fix something, or even just stood at the door, he barked aggressively. He tolerated male dogs only if they were small and not domineering.
Timing of neutering/spaying is very important if this is done too early in large /x-large dogs they risk hip dysplasia, ACL problems, elbow dysplasia & lymphoma their epiphysis(growth plates) must have fused before neutering or spaying
Yes. Learned this the hard way. My Rotti/Pitti 100 lb male had 2 TPLO surgeries.
He was rescued from city pound and was neutered at a very early age before I got him.
Not only that, but the sex organs produce critical hormones necessary for good health; spaying/neutering significantly reduces the animals lifespan.
@@sundayhumphrey2810 Yeah. Same with our pit rescue. I wish they would stop because it's detrimental to the dog's health at such an early age. He was chopped at like 2 months old....
I asked the pound why, and it's because he is an "aggressive" breed and they wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to get this way from an early age. I'm like...do you know what happens do a boy if you cut his testies off at like 6 years old? Same thing as a dog. Their bodies don't develop properly and it interferes w/their health.
Our pit is only 90lbs...but he was going to be 120 if they waited. He has hip and bone issues.
There is increasing evidence that neutering is harmful to the dog's long-term health, particularly in males.
I agree there is a lot of uneducated nonsense in this video.
Fully intacted male dog, best dog I've had, so sweet and easy going
That's awesome. They are definitely healthier if they aren't neutered and any honest veterinarian will tell you that.
In fact my friend's German Sheppard was 11 and had such bad hip problems he could barely walk. He started giving him some TRT injections. 30mg a week. His mood improved, his mobility improved slightly and he seemed to be in less pain. Testosterone is a big deal!
Spayed females have even more problems as they are missing Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone. Treating all 3 is expensive. Generally male dogs do ok without Estrogen and Progesterone, but males have these in much lower levels naturally.
We've had male and female dogs. Our Corgi was a rescue. He'd been given up because of fighting other dogs and had a leg amputated. He was beautiful and very sweet with people. The first thing we did was get him neutered. We worked with our vets and got to the point where he would ignore our other male, a very non dominant Westie. Because of the situation we had to try and have the two dogs live with us.
We've also had three female Cairns. Even though they were the same breed, they were all different in their own ways. Breed gives you a general idea of how a dog will behave, but every dog has their own personality. It really makes life interesting and fun.🙂🐶💜
Cairn terriers are the BEST! I have 2. I have one of each. My girl is very independent but my boy is a cuddle bug.
I agree with the breed personalities not being spot on. My pug acts like a Jack Russel and is healthy as a horse. She is also a little aloof. Pugs are supposed to be lap dogs LOL.
@jeanettemarkley7299 breed guidelines are only guidelines, not a guarantee of what you'll get personality wise. Upbringing plays a massive part in how your dog will turn out. I have two cairn terriers. They are a mixture of typical terrier traits along with their own unique personality traits. Oh, and they're pretty lazy.
@@RebeccaGogovcev I know. I love my pug dearly and wouldn't change a thing about her. She does run circles around my lab though.
Yes, except.... I would refer you to the UC Davis study on golden retrievers and other large breeds. It suggests that suggests that spay and neutering some larger breeds should be delayed because of other factors such as risk of hip dysplasia, ligament development, and some cancers.
@Amygondor Agreed, it's primarily a risk for dogs that could get loose and become feral. Otherwise, the owner shouldn't need to do it as early as typically recommended. The studies suggest that for smaller dogs, the risk of early spay/neuter was smaller. For Goldens specifically, the studies do indicate that it reduced the chance of female diseases such as uterine cancers when preformed at 5-7 years old. It's up to the individual owner, but I want to take the actions that will give my female golden pup the greatest chance of a long and happy life. I recommend everyone do the research and decide for themselves.
Difference is huge! As a woman, I prefer male dogs, but I love dogs in general. I have 2 female Yorkies.
No huge difference based on gender, all dogs are different, I’ve had all sorts (yorkies etc)
I have my first yorkie. It's a girl and she's so energetic and sassy but also clingy and loving. But weirdly enough we get along even though she does get sassy with me I'm a female btw so weirdly enough I don't think the first one is inaccurate or accurate maybe just preference likes yours
I have a Yorkie boy, very young under 2, he prefers me.. My last Yorkie boy JUST loved me. Both shy males, very sweet. My female yorkie I had for 15 years, loved me and my husband almost equal, maybe me a bit more...She was very outgoing wanted to say hi to all dogs/people. She was my very best friend, just so so social, very sweet also. I'm quiet, like my boy dogs. (female here). Yorkies are the best!
As a big burly bearded guy who delivers packages. I can fully attest that my physical appearance is scary to dogs. I carry lots of treats to help
I have a 2 1/2 yo male Yorkie; he is the friendliest pup you could hope to meet. He loves people, other dogs, small & large, m/f & he gets along w/ cats. When we take him camping, he acts as the 'greeter ' at the campsite's entrance rushing out for dogs, kids & people. If you take him for a walk, & he hasn't met enough friends, he'll drag me, all 9# of him, into another campsite where he has spotted a dog or a couple. I think he's a little needy, eh?!? Now, we did do a lot of socialization with him when he was just weeks old & it seems to have paid off. And he is very affectionate with us. One of his friends is a Staffy, another is a Maltese: these he sees on a fairly regular basis. Others he meets on walks. We generally check with the owner of the dog is friendly. Met a thirteen yo Yorkie a few years ago camping (fortunately Sam was out for a swim): she was about 5/6# & the yappyest, most snarling nipper I'd ever met. Her male Yorkie companion was much bigger, younger & not aggressive! If you got past the little monster, you could pet him. So nature or nurture??
I’ve always had male dogs but ever since I accidentally wound up with a female husky I’ll never go back to male dogs! She is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had and lived to a ripe old age of 12 now I have another female pointer and just like the husky this one is just as sweet and very smart. She learned the leash on the very first day I put her on one and to shake hand in two days and to lay in just one day and she’s only 4 months old.
Mica, my male border collie, liked only me , my brother and my friend Jim. He never roamed. Was very protective of me. Lived a long life of 14 years. I miss him every day!
These are HUGE GENERALISATIONS! All my dogs female/male or male/male have got along well. My male dog loves my dad much more than any of the other dogs. Only one of my male dogs is independent and roamed. Female dog is also independent. Female on heat didn’t really change behaviour (she’s always good natured). Mounting seems no different in my females/males depends on the dog. A lot of studies are bias against male dogs and paint males as more dominant - this REALLY depends on the male dog! (I’m a female owner). I would say psychically almost all males end up slightly bigger (either taller or heavier). And it does seem that females tend to be more relaxed around unknown dogs and male dogs seem more likely to be protective of areas, my female is more interested in sniffing and marking than any of our male dogs
yes u seem right
We adopted a male Labsky or Huskador/ Half Husky-Half Lab and he had his hackles up like a wolf when we first saw him........he was SO in fear and now is the biggest most loyal and loving smart dog. He however is VERY protective so is a great watch/guard dog and is in a good home with lots of land and fenced in area. I have no clue why someone gave up this awesome boy other than finances as they had him fixed and microchipped. :(
I imagine that pheromones would play a role in determining how dogs react differently to male and female humans.
Humans don’t actually have pheromones.
@@Desertflower743 what? yes they do...
If an animal has hormones it produces pheromones...
@@Desertflower743 Obviously humans have pheromones
i have had 11 dogs both male and female and have experienced these differences. I prefer female dogs, but have had male dogs that i loved. Fixing them DOES make a difference in their behavior. I have a nephew that didn't believe fiixing his dog and now he is not controllable. Spaying and neutering is the best thing you can do to have a great pet.
its also just the responsible thing to do. please fix your pets people !!
I've had both genders.I usually have pairs so they entertain each other right now.I have 2 girls.You just raise happy dogs and it doesn't matter.And train them from the moment you get them❤
I'm 71 and always owned large guard dogs. Do yourself a big favor and always get you pet neutered. I like males but that is just a preference. I think I'll try a female Doberman next. I don't crop their ears but was sorry I didn't crop the last doberman's whip tail. A dogs desire to please you is far more important than how smart they are. I love GSDs but not the constant vacuuming. Love boxers but not the drooling. All big dogs need big bags of dog poop and produce lots of huge poops. Only get a Huskey if you live in the far north and like a challenge. Dalmations should be owned by runners or cyclists.
Feed raw and you won’t get lots of poop. Correctly fed most of it gets processed by the body. Small, almost odourless poop. Those giant piles are the useless processed pellets going straight through. I had 5 Great Danes and 6 dobies at one point 😊
Good advise! I live in Florida & are dismayed to see people here owning huskies. Feel bad for the dog living in the heat. Also, I had a pug & heat bothered him breathing with the short snout.
@@Solitude11-11was just going to comment this! the more unhealthy the diet - the grosser the poops. this goes to humans too actually
Great advice!!
We're a Sheltie family. For 12 and 16 years, we had girls together. Rhi passed at 12. She had congenital back issues and had no feeling in her back but hopped as she ran. She was definitely my dog, and she took care of me when I had pain (I'm disabled). Isis lived to be 16 and was the one who would go between me and my husband (I got her for him). She would be my alert dog, getting my husband when I fell, she even escorted the EMTs in when I fell when alone, showing them where I was. When Rhi died, we got a male Sheltie we named Sully. He was supposed to be my new service dog but he immediately bonded to my husband. He loves me, but he's definitely a daddy's boy. He was born the day Rhi passed away, which was a surprise when I found a breeder in another state with him. When Isis passed, we got another male Sheltie we named Aska (OOshka--which means Thunder in Swedish, he was born in a thunderstorm). He's a mess. It's taken him longer to adapt to the house, he wants to be dominate but Sully isn't having it. It took me a bit to get him where he would come to me, he wants to sit back and watch everything. But, we're working on training him on the pain problems and when it cools down from the hot S.E. Texas summer, we'll start walking them again (we have a back yard with a dog door). They need to work with my wheelchair.
We may pick up another female to go with the boys (everyone will be spay/neutered) so I can have a cuddle puppy.
One of our 4 pups is going on 17. He used to be the one sounding the alarm when something was wrong with me and take me to my meds every morning after breakfast. Now he's nearly deaf and blind and doesn't get around that easy anymore. One of our young huskies started to volunteer his services. All our pups are boys, between 2 and 4 years. Our girl died the week before Christmas last year. She was very sweet but had never learned how to play with people, just like her brother. All our dogs are rescues so sometimes we don't know what happened in their lives before.
I'm not in a wheelchair (yet) but due to my chronic pain I often do need help and seeing our young husky stepping up is really sweet.
I know you must miss your two shelties a lot. I hope you'll get your female companion. It is nice to have a girl brightening up the pack. One of our dogs friends is a sweet husky girl and whenever she comes over the boys treat her like a princess.
Oh, no! Getting a female when you already have two males who are having dominance issues will only make things worse. It will cause competition between them for the female’s attention, and your male dogs could end up hurting one another.
Had female dogs almost my entire life. Our grown son got our 1st male dog. He preferred our son. We now have another male and he definitely prefers my husband. All of our girls have preferred me. We spay/neuter all of our critters. Cats and dogs alike.
Their evidence for male dogs preferring women was a study exclusively testing on reactions to strangers. I agree that male dogs are usually the most obsessed with the man of the house.
No preference here. I have had both male and female and they were equally loveable.
In my experience, it depends on many factors. I'm a woman and have a female JRT. She is my second female, Jack. Both girls have been incredibly loyal to me compared to the male dogs I have grown up with. I will always choose a female, they are great.
I rescued a 2 year old male Jack Russel 3 months ago and I must agree males are way more difficult to adopt the females I rescued settled in the same day but the male challenged me and tested me
He was passed around 4 times in 2 months so I told myself if this was me how would I feel
He is with me for just short of 3 months and he is enjoying the everyday walkies and constant attention and love
Thanks for a very informative video
I have had both male and female chihuahuas. My female was very easy to potty train, smarter in general and learned commands very easy, alerts with a bark but likes everyone and never aggressive. My male loves his family but more territorial and barks a lot at everything, like literally looking for a reason to go on a barking tangent as he is hyper sensitive to sounds. He can be difficult with strangers, overall much more hyper and was more difficult to train, seems to have energy for days. Overall I prefer female dogs and don’t think I would get another male dog.
Dogs perceive our energy. I have always had females and they bonded with me more than any males at home.
Great video thank you , looking forward to the next one 🐾
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄🧡
Female dogs are much more independent; male dogs are much more needy. Just like humans. I have found in my 40 years of owning and breeding dogs that males are much more clingy and cuddly and wanting to be around you/on top of you all the time; while females are much more aloof and want to be next to you (not on you) or on the floor near you (not on top of you). Of course, this is a general observation based on 40 years of experience. There are aloof male dogs and clingy female dogs that do not fit the bill. Exceptions to the rule always exist. Please do not tell me you have a needy female dog who needs to be on top of you or an independent male dog who hates being on top of you. My educated observations are based on studying dogs over 40 years. I have had MANY people disappointed that their female dogs were not affectionate enough and many more people surprised that their male dogs were more affectionate than any female dog they ever had.
I had a male Fox terrier that was very protective of his puppies. Otis was a generally friendly dog, but didn’t want strangers near the whelping box.
Earnest my boy hates males he sprays after hissing at his rival! Found best product to get rid of spraying! My grandpa was a vet he didn't recommend neutering males so we never did! My dog wouldn't leave the yard when a female in heat came over! Vet was shocked by this! He mated with an English sheep dog he was an Australian blue Merrill shepherd! Their offspring were odd looking! My dog was so gentle with my new born!
Meanwhile, My current dog Perdita, (Perdi.) came from a litter of 16 pups. Her mother Coco. (Liver spotted Dal.) and a family friend's Black spotted Dal (Triton.) Had one hell of a time as first time parents. Poor Coco managed to push Perdi and her younger sister out before having to be rushed to get a C section.... and Triton was brought along for moral and emotional support for the entirety of it all. He was so concerned and anxious about it all and insisted in resting with Coco for the duration of her recovery.... The families of both dogs were amazed at Triton's interest and protectiveness over Coco and the pups. He was an amazing first time dad. :)
From breeders: Males are sweeter, girls are smarter. 😂❤
LOL, I came to the comments to say the same! I've had many dogs and cats, male and female, and the females were definitely smarter and more independent, the boys more loving and simpler.
Never listen to breeders! They raise the worse behaved dogs! No actually depends on the dog, my girl is the sweetest out of our pack
Breeders are AWFUL
@@mwahha6965yep, breeders are in it for the money. Don't take anything they say seriously. Anyone that mates dogs over and over to death shouldn't be taken seriously.
@@mwahha6965makes no sense, totally depends on the breeder, some are crap, some are great
There was a dog that died a year - to 2 ago that lived to 31 in Portugal I believe. Only fed his human's food
Our female Lab definitely preferred me (female) than my husband. But I'm naturally more dominant & am a but taller. 🤷♀️ I also did most of the training.
Always have only boy dogs. Even as a foster I had 90% boys. They are actually more easygoing and tend to get along with other dogs more easily. Love my boys
I grew up with male pets. They were all very well behaved and fixed.
Fixed. That's why.
@@harisdiz.5817Neutering doesn’t make a dog well-behaved, training does.
@@RebeccaEmcee sure does. Feline and canine.
@@harisdiz.5817 No, it doesn’t. It may help with some hormonal behaviors like marking but it’s not a magic fix for all behavioral problems.
Yep really depends on the dog(this vid is far too gendered)
Studies show that if you say studies show several times during your video, people will believe anything you say
I believe you
Especially with "anecdotal evidence"....
Lots of bullshit here
Especially if you show clips of people in lab coats whenever you say "studies show"
Dogs kick ass!
My male dog is nothing like what is described in this video. Maybe because he's Bull Mastiff that was desexed at around eight months of age. He's also now coming up to 13 years old and is doing well.
Having a very shy male dog, this feels very true. My dog has always preferred me and other women.
I have a male (n) and a female (s) basset hound. While they both have very similar basset hound personality traits, the male seems to seek out approval and affection, while the female is very sweet, but more competitive and "entitled." So the male wants to lay down by (or..on me, really) in a loving-to-be-loved way, the female does the same because she thinks she deserves to be there, like a princess. Also, she likes to choose the bed where the male was heading to lie down on, and he just lets her have her way and moves to the other one. It's really funny, but there is definitely some m/f dog psychology going on there! And with toys, she is usually very much in charge, but they do get along great together.
I have found female bassets to be very moody. I love them both, but I’ll never live without a male Basset . I have a 10-year-old male and I’m about to get a male puppy. I’m hoping with all of my heart they love each other!
My female black lab mix ... dominated every dog she encountered. They would submit or yield to around her. She was 89lbs and had a tumor. I adopted her when she was 8 years old,.. very chill dog.. but not one dog dominated her ever. No matter what. I was impressed. She ignored little dogs and cats... too tiny, didn't shake her. but other dogs She would get a whole pack of dogs running away or submitting. In her last home she was a backyard dog, owner died, then I got her.. So I disagree that males dogs are dominant. It just depends on the dog. .
Many women become apprehensive and tense when encountering an unknown man. A dog would identify and react to their female owners tension and would be alert to a potential threat from unknown men.
I've only owned female dogs they , I feel, make a better companion
@@Amygondor 'Male dogs are imposing and complete brutes' - Um, no, actually they're not. You have obviously never owned a male dog, or if you did ? You did a very poor job of raising it. Male dogs pee outside to mark their territory. It's instinctive. If they're peeing inside it shows either poor housetraining or perhaps some sort of infection or other problem. I have an intact male Collie who loves other dogs, gets along with everyone, and is always ready to play with them. I kept him intact because - contrary to this video, and others like it with 'old school ideas' - it is often healthier for them overall to be kept intact. And that's revealed in videos by Dr. Judy Morgan who has many videos on dogs and cats, and on such topics, all over You Tube. Whereas a friend's spayed female border collie cross, is a snarly faced terror towards my dog. How do you explain that ? She's the one that's 'imposing' and a 'complete brute' - using your words.
@@TheBeastOfBeauty Why are you yelling - since that's what CAPITALIZED letters represent? You're the one that sounds upset. Your opinion on the vet's site doesn't matter to me. You're one person. She has many followers, and other vets that appear in her videos and agree with her, who have used her methods - like limiting vaccinations ( many dogs literally suffer from OVER vaccination, and develop diseases and ailments linked directly to that over vaccination), NOT feeding some of the commercial dog foods due to all the chemicals and garbage in them ( dog DNA, anyone?), and feeding their pets human quality meats, eggs, vegetables and other such healthy ingredients. The many comments on her videos praise her advice, and prove that they work, as the people's dogs are healthier than they're ever been, AND living longer lives, using her tried and tested methods.
'Nothing succeeds like success' as the saying goes.
A dog knows what is a woman. Hmm. 🤔🤔
😆 🤣 😂
It's explained in the video. They don't necessarily they just perceive larger, deeper voiced humans with facial hair as more threatening than smaller, higher voiced humans without facial hair. I do believe they pick up some things based on scent. Not to be gross, but my dog will sniff my crotch when I'm on my period.
I have pitbulls since I'm 16, now 55 and its all crap what they tell here. Both male and female are responding equally, all of them got 11 to 12 years old, no difference, no big differences nutered or not.
Only thing I noticed, they love kids!! Aggressive, no, only if other animals show bad behavior ours will just ignore them. Don't bother them or us owners then they won't bother you
Totally agree these are massive generalisations of old wives tales about dog gender! My female and male dogs (many breeds) have all been different!
I love both had a male English bulldog and still have a female Boston terrier they got along wonderfully and I love both of them to pieces
My male Pom was definitely more of a cuddle than my female. She was cuddly but also enjoyed her "me time".
I'm female, and my female dog is joined at the hip with me. 😅
Dogs: Woman’s Best Friend 💁🏻♀️
Behind an amazing woman there's always an amazing dog (or 4 like me) 😂
@@d.mononoke2039 4?! You’re amazing! I just have one. But she has the attitude of 4. 😝
@auroraborealis13579 the term 'man's best friend', also includes women. Women are included in the race of 'man', hence the wo'man' part of the name. Dogs are man's (humans) best friend.
@@auroraborealis135791
😊oiqc
Yes, I think everyone is aware, even OP...
Everybody who has been around dogs knows all this. Now, if we can convince people that humans are the same. Yes, Virginia, men and women are different.
I've had 2 male dogs only. They have been challenging, but I wouldn't change them at all. I'm open to adopting a female later in life, but definitely love having had my two boys. Best company ever
I have 14 yr old intact male yorkie poo he is so loving and healthy. Also have a 10 yr female maltipom she is territorial not as cuddly. I love them both ❤❤
My male who had a great disposition was always trying to go roaming (kept me on alert), disliked other males, and humped any new female (if I didn't quickly put a frisbee in his mouth, it refocused him away from humping). He was very friendly with people but cautious with men.
I prefer females (just allows me to relax while walking her) after having 5 dogs, but loved all my male dogs.
Dogs are a gift!
I’ve had more female dogs than male and they were devoted to me.
That explains Jaxon my male german shepherd low content wolf . He was overly productive of his pups and would refuse to let anyone come close to them except me.
@Amygondor sorry I didn't notice, I meant protective, not productive .
Jaxon passed away years ago of old age( 14yrs ). I had him sins he was 2 month old , and we didn't know that he was mixed until he became older.
There are always exception to the usual trends. Our male husky is very paternal...to kittens. He also likes critters in general; over the years he's brought us about five or six possums, all alive. He seems to think that they need to live with us.
Smarter than most people at least they know what sex they are.
Some male dogs are quite good fathers. It really depends on the breed.
I've had both, males and female dogs. Females are more independent, but also show affection more often. Males are territorial but great, too.
My experience has been precisely the opposite.
Thanks!
Great information keep it up
I have an entire 14 month male dog, who will lick anyone to death. He's calm, gentle and very loving.
He doesn't stray. In fact, he isn't overly phased by girl dogs at all. he will pick a neutered male any day over a female on heat.
He doesn't start fights or push other dogs around. He Is an amazing dog, and I have no worries with him around anyone. babies and kids included or any other animals. And I'm sure there is loads more like him out there.
This video is sending the wrong message out to people.
I've always owned (bar from 1 retriever) terrier mixes, the first 3 were males, I was given a staffy girl puppy and noticed a difference straight away, so when she passed I looked for another girl and rehomed a jack/staffy mix, what a little gem she was, an all round good girl we had her for 12 years and she contracted Cushings Desease which unfortunately claimed her life 2 years ago. Got a little Patterjack this time of course a female, another beautiful soul and although she was hard to train, at 2 years old she is the calmest terrier I've ever owned, an all round beautiful little soul. She did levitate towards my husband but I think I detatched myself from her at first after loosing the last dog. My husband is still her bestie now, but me and her slowly grew to love eachother, she's very protective and loves nothing more than a good dinner and to snuggle up to watch t.v. with us. I do slightly prefer female dogs❤
I've always leaned toward male dogs, nothing like a bromance after all.😁
My two boys are two of the greatest dogs ever. They're both muts, I got one from the pound, and my little guy just showed up one day. Nothing against the girls, but it just seems I've had great luck with my boys.
My male Cocker Spaniel took care of our cat's kittens
Aawe:)
My one year old pitty does the same.😮
Interesting, I've had both male and female but I prefer females and especially females who had puppies before I adopted them. These females have been my most loving, protective companions.
Over the years I've had both male and female canine companions. After my male shih tzu companion passed away, I adopted a retired breeder female labradoodle and promptly had her spayed. My beautiful Opal is the best canine companion I've ever had.
Just like BIOLOGICAL MALE and FEMALE HUMANS.
Definite differences!!!
i've had two male golden retrievers, and there was no dominating about them. They were not afraid of men. I don't think this applies to all breeds. My female shepherd is afraid of men. She follows me so closely that she steps on my heels when I'm wearing flip-flops. my experience w dogs is the opposite of what you say male and female dogs are.
Dogs can smell difference between men and women. Nothing to do with appearances.
Humans can too!😂😂
Exactly ! As the dog trainer Cesar Milan always says with dogs its: nose, ears, eyes when assessing someone. The exact opposite of humans as they 'assess' someone new, which is eyes, ears, nose, in that order.
My sweet gentle Aussie girl loves other dogs and used to pine for the neighbors dogs through the fence, so we wanted to get her a dog of her own. Tried twice with males. They ended up beating her up and we had to return them (they had happy adoptions later). Our success came with another female Aussie from the pound. She’s bossy but very protective of her beloved sister. they love each other, run and play together and are just like yin and yang. Go figure.
THAT’S WHY YOU SPAY AND NEUTER ALL YOUR PETS! SO YOU DON’T ADD TO THE OVERPOPULATION
NEW subscriber. THANKS for the Post. Doggies have to be one of the Greatest Joys we Humans get. I have seen entire families LIFTED out of dark depression, when several family members had been injured or sick, by one bitty pupdog who made them remember playful sweet innocence again.
ALSO, Thanks especially for the new term. ===> *_"Superfecundation"_* That gives me a _polite_ handle suitable for general conversation, to describe some of the women I've known...
I had two female rescues that I got a couple of years apart. The bigger one was very submissive and the one less than half her size was the more dominant. They got along great!
I had a male pit bull who would let his grown sons come back to visit! He was a great doggy daddy. I now have an intact male French mastiff and the only thing he will bite is food. I guess it’s in the training.
I have two female dogs and they are so good together. although one is a German shepherd and one is a rather smaller mongrel.
Excellent facts.
My Lady. A rescue, was Beyond devoted to me.
I always preferred female dogs. Males are more independent. The female is more bonded to her family than males. My first female German Shepherd always accepted other dogs, but if they challenged her, he would grab them by the throat and hold them down until they gave up. She then let them up and never again had any problems about who the dominant was. She was the queen! She never initiated a fight, but never lost one either.
Yep...
I have a fiesty rescue male Doberman with his balls. Had him just over a year. 3rd Doberman. 2nd rescue.
He was a little mistreated before.
He's bit my head twice and had a pop right in my face but thankfully didn't bite. But the last time was mid November. I couldn't touch him when layed down. I can now.
He does like women, and is weary of men.
He likes a play with female dogs and males only if TOTALLY friendly.
He has been attacked while on lead bt two dogs off lead that ran at him. (2 separate occasions) he dealt with them rather easily 😂.
He's very protective / aware. Break in to my house at your own peril.
He sniffs and dribbles at every pee done by other dogs.
Only just the last few months I've been letting him off the lead in areas to chase rabbits and rummage. He loves it! His recall is pretty good even when swithed on. He wears an e-collar 😮.... I live near livestock. A shock is better than dead sheep, dead dog, big bill....
If you ever use an e-collar, do it correctly!
Let your dog wear it a few days before use or the dog may become collar wise. When using, don't act like you're using it. So say if it headed at sheep, (on a long lead) don't say or do anything just hit the button and let your dog tell its self off.
Vibrate is good for less 'important' issues.
I really wish that I had known about the dangers of not getting my dog spayed when we knew we wouldn't breed her. She ended up getting Pyometria and almost died, it cost a hell of a lot of money to get her better and she lived only a couple more years after it :(
Some interesting details I didn’t know, like the fact that a spayed female lives longer.
Have you not heard of Bobbi - a dog in Portugal, who lived to be over 31 years old. A purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo
Our male cocker spaniel definatily loves the girls in the family more
I have a female Black lab/Chow mix. She is an excellent watch dog, very protective of the family and very intelligent. I don't think she knows she is a dog because she is given the same dignity and love as everyone in the family.
Female dogs also wonder in search of mates. If they are fixed before the first heat they are puppies forever, though. My pug girl had to wait to be spayed due to covid lockdown and is a little active in that sexy way, but has not tried to escape. She LOVES male dogs, though.
I am not surprised!
About lifespan: I've had 6 dogs in about 50 years, 3 males and 3 females including my current 2 year old female. I've had males for 43 years and females for 15 years. Statistics don't always apply on an individual basis.
I have always been partial to male dogs, I ve had a female Shih Tzu now for 14 yrs, she has always been Miss Independence,never liked cuddles and had my Angel Chewy for 15yrs he was my everything ! tho he got his wings on 3/30/2019,he sent me Bentley a Pomshi, He is more of a Mama's boy. So I still remain partial to male puppers!
My male dog was left-handed. I would mention this to family or friends, and they thought I was talking nonsense!
My dog Fred knew he was the ONLY male at my home, with two women and three female dogs _ and he behaved PROTECTIVELY towards all of us, as well as liked to give us " orders" on time to eat, sleep, get out, etc. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
We've had several dogs--both male and female. Our experience has been that male dogs are more likely to want to cuddle with you or sleep on your lap. Female dogs would rather sleep near you but not ON you.
I think anthropomorphizing is a problem when people are describing the differences between male and female dogs.
I had male dogs mostly, and not one of them was aggressive, or wanted to bite anybody. None of them ever growled at anybody. I don’t know. I think it all has to do with how you treat your dog if you treat them like part of the family they act like part of the family and they behave themselves as long as you teach them, manners from the day, you introduce them to your family. You have to train them immediately. My dogs were always well behaved. And another thing they learn how to do their business outside as soon as I Shome, they know the rules. I must have a real good connection with my fur babies. I’ve been a dog owner since I am a young child. My first dog was when I was about five and I’ve always had one. I would be lost without one. Right now I have a male and a female. And they both have their own personalities just like kids. I love them and they love me back.❤
My 3 most loyal special dogs who were also my absolute soulmates: female pitty, male unneutered dachshund, neutered jack russel. Just got another male and female Jack from the shelter. Both are absolute honeys but am seeing the male wanting to be my number one. Growing up we mostly had female boxers who all adored my mother. Two males: one keeshond and a rottie. Loved the keeshond but my mother did not like this. The rottie adored my dad and was his soulmate. I find males to be absolute soft momma's boys, forever looking for attention and cuddles- to an extend of faking injuries. Girls are independand and feisty until it is snuggle time in the evening.
I disagree on saying male dogs are not good fathers. I have a male dog and in a different litter i got a male puppy and my first dog was loving and went on to teach the puppy who was growing up how to deffend himself.
i love 🐶🐶
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄🧡
I’ve always had boy dogs, but somehow ended up having two females in the mix (had to rescue them) at one point. I currently have two boys and a tiny girl. She’s the boss and she only weighs about five lbs. I love male dogs hands down. I do love and adore my little 16 yr old Bella though.
I've owned dogs my whole life. Mostly German Sheperds, but I breed Goldens now. I've never known a male dog to prefer women. Most dogs I see, male or female, prefer men.
