My personal experience: male dogs are more independent and chilled while female dogs are more excitable and food driven. I’m in service dog industry and also find females are more cheeky and will push their boundaries while males are compliant and follow protocol more rigidly.
I just lost my male border collie, (neutered) Dugan of over 15 years. He was “MY” baby for sure. In his last year of life we could open the door and he’d walk the perimeter of our unfenced yard and then lay by the door until we let him back in. He rarely barked, not even to go outside. He was brilliant and I miss him so, so much. I’ve always had pets, dogs are my favorite and someday I may be the crazy dog lady. 😂 God bless.
@MCEscher 100% had the same experience as you with my 2 GSDs. Also, my female was boss indoors, but outside the female and their female friend both looked to the male for direction.
Ha, my female dog is EXTREMELY food driven. Very smart, she can learn new tricks in a couple attempts... but if food is involved, she will figure it out first try. It's really amazing watching her working out the solution and how focused she gets if there's any kind of treat.
We all have different experiences with different dogs. I find that female dogs seem to have a stronger protective or “ownership” behavior with their humans. Perhaps it is because they don’t have the wanderlust urge that many male dogs tend to have. But one thing for certain, male or female, dogs are a wonderful gift to us humans!
From all the dogs I've seen is that female dogs try to hump stuff their whole lives while male the male dogs I've had seem to grow out of it Edit: unless the female dog is in heat than the male dog will become aggressive. But grows out of of the jumping of stuff. At least that's how the two female dogs I've had were
Typically bitches usually take to and thrive with a family while dogs like to have “their” human… pack hierarchy especially with giant breeds mastiff’s and guard breeds in general has a massive impact and is the first thing I assess if I have a behavioural referral?
I've found the opposite. The male dogs I've had were more loyal and tend to suffer from separation anxiety. The females I've had were more relaxed and aloof.
I am a 200-pound man with a beard but, for some reason, pretty much all dogs come right up to me and are friendly to me. At 82, I have owned a half dozen dogs and been around hundreds and have never been bitten or threatened by an aggressive dog. I believe dogs can sense instinctively when someone, male or female, likes them and is not a threat.
I've always believed dogs can read who people really are deep down. This is why my dog will randomly freak the f*ck out at some people and ignore or be uber-friendly with others. She's sensing their nature.
Dogs seem to love me too. I know dogs can tell when someone likes them, and when someone doesnt, many times they are afraid of that person and are more likely to be aggressive.
My experiences have been it's easier to convince a male dog that someone new is ok. Some of my females have been very protective of the family and are more suspicious of strangers. Once accepted however, the new person will be protected.
Because my father had a kennel license and we had many dogs over the years, I have found that a female basset hound has got to be the sweetest and most docile dog in existence. I have had 6 of them myself and my dad had one too. Right now, I have 2 seven month old female bassets named Raven and Juniper. They are sweet.
My fourth West Highland terrier is a male, neutered, four years old. He sticks to me like glue, and I could not be happier. I had always chosen female pups. Buckley is a love.
I had a West Highland Terrier named Westley and he lived just one month shy of 18 years! He was the best boy in the entire world and I still think of him every day! 🐶❤️
We had a male German Shepherd/Great Dane mix and was a great dog! When I walked him he would just mind his business…but when my wife would walk him…he would be very aggressive and bark quite loudly and it seemed like he was telling other people to “stay away”.
@@BlackCoffeeee Believe me, dogs have their own character, behavior and agenda. People think that they are empty inside and everthing is traing to humanize them and to do what we want or not. Really...animals do also what their body/mind/instinct/dna tells them, to put it in simple words. Btw. Are male humans that 'traineable' or moldable? Or? I do not think so...
our male Samoyed was an amazing father, he was scard of them the first 2 or 3 weeks as they were so small lol but onece they got big enough to play he spent hours teaching them how to play and how to go toilet outside etc. Then again Samoyeds are one of the closest to wolves geneticaly
I agree, my friend's family fosters Huskies and sometimes they take in a litter or two of puppies (plus their mother, and father if known) a couple times a year. Most of them have been good at teaching the puppies (even the ones that aren't their own) about playing and being social; the others were either cases of Disability or previous abuse.
Human males don't bond strongly with their own children until around the 6 month mark. Males bond through more physical aspects that help create the mental pathways that bond us to our offspring. This is known as the "rough house" phase where dad can start to be less gentle and start to play more. I would assume the same is true for many mammal species.
@@OddBallPerformance My father bonded with me when i was born prematurly. He has put me on his chest to sleep and later i fel asleep on his arm. My father was 1 of a kind. Needles to say...i had a bond with my father, not my mother, because she did not nurtured me that way.
@@heide-raquelfuss5580 I am not saying it can't happen the way it did with your father. I was just speaking of the general majority. People are always individually unique.
My experience is that female dogs tend to be more calm or easier for them to listen and follow you while male dogs tend to be a little bit more energetic and ignore your training, but still I love them no matter the gender.
I have had two female dogs. Rose, my first dog, she was a bullmastiff/ridgeback mix and was gentle and lazy, all though she was very protective. She was a saint of a dog, we lost her early 2020 from old age. Now we have a Frenchton/Pomchi, named Poppy who is only just under a year old. She is a spitfire and super energetic, very intelligent and so cute. She has a big character. So blessed to have had such amazing members to my family.
I can only speak to the Airedale Terrier. We had many of them in the extended family over the years. The females seemed smarter, easier to train, more focused and present, more companionable, stayed closer, more protective but less aggressive and our two little girls had no problem chasing off the largest grizzlies or black bears.
@@Arander92 We lived in a semi-remote area of BC where we were kinda "homesteading." One summer there was a rogue Grizzly bear wandering up and down the road digging up gardens, killed a pig, broke into some sheds. The only place he did not come was our place. because of our dogs. We didn't even know of the troubles; for some reason no one told us. Moreover there was a selective logging wood lot across the road and we would jog and walk there because of many trails and open area. Many a time we would see ahead of us Bear-dog-dog .... gone. The chased three bears and two cubs out of the neigbours orchard one time we saw. The neighbour said it was the firs time he had fruit in years - seems our dogs took it over as part of their territory and kept the bears way every summer. So there are three examples and I could give you many more. Those dogs didn't let anything come near their patch ... except the Resident Moose. They never bothered with him but otherwise safe as houses. Cheers!
The one male dog I had was a sweetheart and never threatened to bite anyone once he was out of his puppy stage. All my female dogs have been bitters except my last one.
Same experince here, all of my male dogs have been everyones best friend after about 10 minutes of getting to know them..the females ranged from more cautious and stand offish to actually snippy with people and dogs they dont know. However after they get to know someone the female dogs were friendly as well, just a little less so.
My male intact working cocker is a soppy little guy and has never humped nor been interested in bitches in heat. He loves the cuddles and thinks everyone, human or otherwise, is his best friend he hasn't seen for 20 years. All his toys are the best toy he's ever seen and every time he sees them it's like he's been gifted them for the first time. For 15 months he's been is at the centre of our hearts and I know that feeling will last forever. His name is Conker and I love him 🥰
My intact show/working cocker ONLY humps out of excitement. And only other dogs. No toys, no human legs, only other dogs and only when overexcited. However he’s in the middle of a fear period and every new thing is TERRIFYING so therefore he must freeze, back up behind me, and then bark at it from the safety of behind my leg. But once he’s established friendship he’s the soppiest little tart 🥺❤️
My two whippets are the opposite. My female is the wandering one who goes on hunting walkabouts and marks everything and get into fights. The male is constantly within my sight and very friendly, but he’s also nervous and insecure and easily scared by other dogs. Both dogs reacts pretty friendly to new people.
@@Whocaress700 Female here, and I’ve actually found that female dogs like me, while male dogs tend to ignore me. I guess it varies from person to person.
My experience with Pomeranians has been Males are generally more playful, smaller, and more affectionate While females tend to be more often food driven, independent, and larger.
What is not mentioned is that spay/neuter should be done when dogs are reaching or at full maturity. Other types of health issues can occur when fixed too early. This is important and while not mentioned, certain breeds, the females live 11 percent longer unfixed. Overall, good to fix after becoming adult and not all breeds reach adulthood at the same pace. Some around a year and others two years.
That’s right! If sterilised when young, dogs may end up not having properly grown platelets and bone structure and in females, incontinence is common. The bigger dogs need to wait till 1.5 years old before they are considered fully grown. Btw what do u mean 11% females live longer when unfixed?
Sorry but I have to disagree on that. I have owned GSDs for 40years. ALL have been fixed at 6-8 months old and all males. There is a huge myth on what you are saying. Certain breeds are prone to health issues, so being fixed early has absolutely nothing to do with being fixed early.
Michael I so agree! The spaying and neutering of pets is the bread and butter of the small animal veterinary business. And the trend for neutering puppies and kittens at 8 weeks is abhorrent, as well as scientifically unsound.
@@gsdmomb530 it's not a myth at all.. if you've fixed ALL your dogs that early, you have no idea how much more potential the dogs possibly had.. fixing them stops certain hormone production that dogs NEED to develop 100% to their full potential.. Just because "YOUR DOGS" didn't have any issues, doesn't mean It isn't true.. many other dogs do have issues from being fixed too young.
Interesting video! It's important to note that every dog, regardless of gender, is unique and should be evaluated based on their individual personality and behavior. Thanks for shedding light on the common differences between male and female dogs.
Kind of interesting, that just like people everyone is different, male and female in humans and dogs can have feminine traits or masculine traits. This is just statistics and a generalization. It’s funny that gender in animals and human beings is similar. But just like their is females with more masculine traits and males with more feminine traits, this is also true in male and female dogs, even though it’s not as common, it’s obviously natural.
I had a male beagle that loved puppies and babies of all types. He helped raise 3 kittens. And got to love a 4 that was abandoned by it's mom just 3 days before he passed.
An unneutered dog I had growing up lived to be about 17 1/2 years old.Most dogs in the 1950s thru the 1960s were NOT routinely neutered, and tended to live long lives... ANY neutered dog I've had since then has made it to 12 years old, at the most. I've 'put the t wo things together', and you'd never 'sell' me on neutering a male dog again. My current dog, a Collie, is not neutered nor will he be. At three years old now, he gets along with all the other dogs he knows or meets, and is very gentle with them... It's all about considerate management of them, so they're not out there fathering unwanted puppies. There must be something to the fact that those hormones ARE needed for general, and overall, good health. Many videos have been made on that very topic.
The most protective and nursing dog we ever had was a male, long haired German Shepard. He loved all infant/young creatures and took care of them. As an example, we had a pointer puppy who would fall asleep on his back. Max would patiently wait until BeBop awakened, staying still as long her nap lasted. My current, constant companion is male and has taught himself to be very careful not to hurt me as I’m disabled by severe pain. Like humans, dogs are individuals.
My experience (of fixed dogs) is totally different. The male dogs I've had, do exactly what you say, even many times in row while having happy smile in their face, never questioning a thing. They're also less aggressive, a little bit cowardy. While female dogs are more independent, question tasks even if they know how to do them but just don't feel like doing them today, are less pleasing to humans and may be more aggressive among other dogs.
Yeah, I have a female German shepherd. While she’s obedient she can think for herself and won’t do something unless she sees a good reason for it. She also keeps me safe when I’m out in public. She’s very protective of me and I’m grateful for that. I find other people scary, especially in my town due to multiple scandals. Having her ward off some of the sketchier people all these years has been great. I feel like female dogs also know how to behave in certain situations. My dog knows when it’s time to explore, relax or to protect. My grandpas dog, who is male, doesn’t exactly know how to behave in every situation. That might be because my dog is a working breed and because of that she has received lots of training.
@@katarinag5256 There is no evidence for any of this. It's all anecdotes. I've experienced things like you mentioned and vice versa though male dogs have wanderlust and don't act aggressively unless the threat is real. Reasonable.
Exactly my experience. Female dogs can be very fickle and moody. She's also less friendly. My male often tries to calm her down and smooth out relationships between her and other dogs. She has made him be a great diplomat.
I really wish hoomans would stop expecting animals to have the same mindset and behavior as we do. This leads to abuse, neglect, and death. Info like this is great for all furbaby parents to know!
You are sooo damn right! We humans want to control the entire world and that everyone just is, like they think you should be and function. I am also getting tired how people want to make a dog a non dog. And all dogs are different in so many ways, like humans too. I love so much dogs, but it breaks my heart...seeing them living with humans who expect things from dogs, that would be even considered abuse, when done to children, babies and adults...
Wow, the exact opposite has been in our house over the past 22 years of wedded bliss. The female dogs have always been momma's girls and the males have always been my baby boys.
I read intact male dogs , provided they don’t have hormones issue later in life, tend to live longer than neutered male dogs. But females on the other hand, enjoy a longer life when spayed.
Well, you wouldn't mention it, if it wasn't curiosity. Which proves what is being told. Anyway, i love ''scotties'' and that old, wise faces they carry around. And, in my opinion - mixes are the most interesting dogs. Ughh, what am i babbling about? I love them all!
My last dog.. intact Female Jack Russel. Lived for 14 years ... died of Lymph cancer. I hope my new puppy (female Jack Russel) also lives a long happy intact life.
My Great Pyrenees stud is probably the best daddy dog I've ever met in my life we were only able to keep one of the pups because nine puppies is an overload for our farm. Him and his son run amok happy playing and loving on each other constantly whenever I bring Mama out with me, all three of them are absolutely hilarious.
Well, yeah my male dog clings to me more than to my husband and my female dog wants to be with my husband more than with me. We love each equally they just have their preferences. Also yes, female and male dogs get along better as housemates.
My male dog is a lot more affectionate than my girl. He has been neutered and luckily doesn't seem to have the urge to mark territory. My female is a sweetie and likes to be close to me but my male would attach himself to me 24 hours a day if he could.
I have an 18 month old male Altdeutche german shepard, he's a wonderful 90 pound furmissile. Extremely protective around the home, will growl and bark at strangers who walk up to the gate at the driveway, until I get out and see what's up. He is getting some similar training to police dogs, he is very energetic but can also relax on the couch with me. He is generally very excited about his humans, very protective and loyal.
@@jayasmrmore3687 he was old partly blind,deaf going off his legs getting older then one weekend his heart started to go when I took him to the vets they said he was about to have a heart attack so I followed their advice I didn’t want him to suffer anymore than he was getting old, when I said sickness I meant in any that didn’t need pronged treatment . He was old and had a good life. I still feel guilty in making that decision but didn’t want him to suffer anymore.
It's almost like certain sexual traits are common in all mammals while still allowing for individual differences because living things aren't computers bound by programming but living things with personalities of their own... Testosterone tends to produce larger, stronger, more aggressive mammals with a strong drive to reproduce with as many partners as possible in their lifetimes... Estrogen tends to produce smaller, gentler, more caring, social mammals equipped to raise the young they give birth to... Who'd have thought the basics of the science of mammal biology could be so easily observable by anyone paying attention...
Wow! I learned so much from this video! Thank you! I was about to adopt another female to keep my current female puppy company but now I know I need a male puppy to make a peaceful home!
I’ve had mostly mixed breed, fixed dogs of both genders. The females have always been alpha and are more pushy, the males have been submissive and more laid back. The females can even be somewhat aggressive against other dogs that are not in the family. They have clearly ruled the doggie roost! I have usually had at least two dogs at a time also.
The only dog I ever had was as a kid. She was a ~35lb. lab/ terrier mix from the ASPCA. She was wonderful; super playful and affectionate, would protect me from the bullies in the neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect dog. I've heard a saying, "If you want a good dog get a female. If you want a great dog get a male and keep your fingers crossed." From my experience I disagree.
The 2 dogs of the same breed we had were very different. The female was much gentler with us, and would bark or growl at things she has never seen before. But she loved to stay near us and enjoyed gentler activities. The male, would always patrol the area, and I have watched him whip snakes (he hated them) apart. He loved to go exploring alone. He loved to play and was very rough compared to the female.
I mean there is also personality involved. Any dog owner can tell you how different dogs can be just by nature, so out of the norm there are those that are kinder and rougher
@@Kingdramana very true. I own a full blooded German Shepardad male. While he was rpdy and destructive as a puppy. He learned to follow the rules very quickly. Now days he just like to lay around and play tug of war. What great dogs they are
I’ve had male and female dogs during my 70 years. My current 8 month old male Australian Labradoodle is the most loving and devoted dog I have ever had.
My mum used to have a male labradoodle. She's had about five dogs but he was far more in tune with people than any of the others. Would go and find someone if you were calling them. Or alert you to the dishwasher been finished. Wasn't trained to do any of this, just loved helping.
I find male dogs slower to mature than females and I also find females more independent than their male counter parts. This is my experience after owning 5 males and 4 females. Although all the dogs I've owned have been border collies, so it could be breed specific.
@@themysticwarriorgal9465 open my eyes no it’s not scientifically proven the reason people think women mature quicker is because they usually go through more in life when aren’t expected to be as mature witch is why they aren’t
Dogs #5 and #6, KoKo and Mercí, napping now. All female pit bulls. First one, 1997. Had 2 dogs since 2000. They need a playmate, if you can swing it. 1 dog died at 10, the other three at 13. A true blessing to have had 6 dogs to love and care for. And the unconditional love from them: PRICELESS!
Fascinating how UA-cam allows a video about the differences between male and female dogs, but are also working to remove content about the difference between male and female humans...
My female dog (mostly belgian malinois) actually broke out of my house one day while i was running errands, apparently to come find me. Luckily a nice guy in the neighborhood, found her walking one of our regular routes lol
I have 2 female dogs that are sisters, I adopted both 4 years ago and they really love me! I have always had female dogs because they are sweet and obedient.
What’s people often misunderstand is that dogs have been patriarchal for quite a while now, so it’s best that we intervene with their toxic masculine behavior. We need to teach them consent, and to not chase female dogs who run away from them. #AbolishDogPatriarchy #TrainDogsConsent #BelievAllWomenDogs #BitchinismIsEquality
Keep in mind when fixing your dog's, that this will affect their joints, I have had Newfoundlands for 30+ yrs. And the ones I have adopted fixed had hip problems much earlier. the ones I have had fixed at 5 or 6 yrs old, lived much longer & less joint problems, My oldest newfy was 14+ yrs.
My dogs had a litter of pups November 23 of last year and dad was as good with them as mom. He was super attentive, helped with cleaning them, and protected them. It was very weird but in the best way possible.
from personal experience I have seen the father of pups show great attention/interest towards the pups, between a pair of Huskies and German Shepherds. Mostly only after the mother would allow the father to come near the pups, is when the father would be super protective, playful, and even clean them once in a while. It could be more common for the males not to have much interest, but the few I have dealt with had full interest in being apart of those pups lives.
I have two. I have a Dachshund and a rat terrier who had puppies last year. The Dachshund loved smelling and helping the rat terrier clean up the puppies poop. But that's the only dog she let get close My Chihuahua Molly was banned from the den for 8 weeks. Not my rule, it was Daisy and Ren's rule.
Spaying and neutering in large breed dogs is best done around 2 years so they have plenty of time with those hormones to help them grow. A dog that is neutered or spayed too early is at a higher risk of developing joint problems such as hip dysplasia
I think my boys aren't that typical in some things then. They are not neutered, but do adore each other. They are not overly interested in females in heat (one would rather play then sniff her even). One of the two is more weary of men and protective over me while my other one is a daddy's boy. They are not aggressive and don't tend to wander off. One ran off once after he managed to pee over an electric fence. He ran straight home and was a shivering mess at our back door. I have a German longhaired pointer and a Australian working kelpie.
And you can apply this information to humans, and find that biologically male humans have many specific things in common, like 30% more muscle and bone mass, and are therefore naturally stronger than their equivalently-sized female humans. Hence, Males should NEVER participate in WOMEN's Sports. Otherwise, what's the point of Female Competition??? You cannot change a male to a female or vice-versa, whether by Surgery or Pharmaceuticals. That's why we have Biology in the first place. These are simple facts that we ALL USED to Know and accept, but today SOME (Small Percentage of) people want to ignore and deny REAL science and biology. Peace to all the awakening ones.
We have had several Rescue Dogs and have found that they all got along, no matter their gender so I am wondering if spaying and neutering is partly the reason? I did find the females all preferred my husband even though I am the one who takes them for walks and feeds them. Traitors, lol. Having said that, the males definitely preferred me, so at least my husband didn't steal all the dogs, lol.
Same with my dog!!!! I spend the most time with her and things but when my dads around she prefers him 100%. My dad won’t let us have 2 dogs so that’s sad. I could’ve had a male dog!!! Lol. Male dogs always preferred me a lot at friends houses and things
I think it could depend on the breed. I had a female dog and got a second female who was very aggressive/dominant. The first female was very submissive so most of the time they got along, but the aggressive dog would still occasionally start fights. Never had problems with male/female dog combos.
My unfixed dogs have all lived long healthy lives the youngest of them was 13+ who died from an allergic reaction to an insect bite. The others were 14-15+ when they died. They never wandered or left their yards. My Aussie found her way out once and she met me out side of the front door.
My two female dogs are not spayed, but they have never had pups. When they are in heat, I walk them on leash in a secluded and gated area, where they are safe. I can definitely say my female dogs are extremely protective over me. My male dog was chilled. My female dogs do not like strangers and they stick to my side
Have had girls my whole life, I prefer females strongly. They're smarter and more independent. I don't know, my female dogs actually prefer women to men, but I think it's because women are more likely to fuss, pet and show physical affection to dogs
I agree, have dogs all my life, males firts femakes later, all males were more assertive and active and love barking, my girls re so cute and gentle and relax and they dont piss the whole house
my partner and I originally got a male aussie to be his companion hahah. He picks me over him ALL the time 🤣 and yes he is more protective of me when we go on our walks and I did notice, he only gets protective with males.
Fun fact. Most people think female dogs are more gentle and less likely to mark than males. In reality, female dogs are vicious animals. Two females living together are three times as likely to start fighting than two males living together. If two females in the house are fighting, there’s only a 10% likelihood that training can improve the situation. When two males in the house are fighting, there is an 83% likelihood that training will improve the situation. Females also mark WAY more than males, including in the house, especially when they live with another dog.
@@jayasmrmore3687 they did that when I introduced a new female into the house. My established dog wanted the new girl to know what was hers, and the new female wanted to establish her own place in the house. I learned from a combination of research and experience.
I'm not sure neutering doesn't also have disadvantages for prolonging a dog's life. My brother in law neutered their dog (female) when she was 7 years, she noticeably started to deteriorate and age faster after being neutered, vet said it was because the body didn't produce the hormones needed to keep everything running smoothly.
It is true. And if people think or believe otherwise, they are just not thinking indepth enough. I know that women who do not produce enough hormones anymore due to pre menopause or menopause also start to age faster and have all kind of physical changes and issues. So normal hormones that are in a body should not be taken away... Hormones are very complicated to understand, but in science they know the right ballance in hormones are vital fir a proper functioning body. I am flabbergasted that people do not connect the dots here...or vets. I knew only 1 vet who secretly told me, do not castrate your dog. Also...an interresting thing here. A woman ones asked me if i had children. I said 1 child. She was surprised that i had only 1 at my age. I was then 46 years old. She asked why only 1. I replied, because i am old to get a baby, because of the risk to have a handicaped child. She said...in my country women get oregnant even at 60 years old! And the risk is not higher...! She was from Macedonia. She said...it is normal to have children at 60 years old, until you can not conceive anymore. I thought...but a lot of women where i live are in menopause or pre- menopause at 50 years old! So...why do they have still their menses at 60 years old? Why are they still fertile and we basically struggling to conceive even at 25 years old and up? Hormones out of wack? Bless you much.
I can easily earn the trust of female dogs. They stay with you all day. But I can say that male dogs are much more touchy, they're more needy for attention. I love them all for sure.
Dogs are THE best natural anti depressant there is. Have had dogs for over 20 years. Always have a pair of male and female dogs together always neutered/spayed. Have had a few rescues (including one of my current dogs) so they are always neutered anyway. Have found the females always tend to be closer to me. Very much MY dogs and tend to want to stick with me even when just sitting down at home. Want to always been touching me. Males have usually been more independent. Wouldn’t swap my dogs for anything.
My male is neutered but was done so at age 11 when I adopted him as a surrender. He is 15 now and still spry. I volunteer at a shelter, which is where I actually met him. But sometimes I work with females who are in heat. Twice now I have stepped in urine of a female in heat and came home with this on my shoes and my poor boy lost his shit. He started whining and crying and pacing and the first time I was a bit freaked out not having put the two and two together until he started humping. He had humped once after I adopted him and that was at about the 7 days mark after his neuter so that was the last of his testosterone leaving. This first event was about a year later and when he started humping I finally recalled I had been in the kennel of a female in heat and there was urine on the floor. After the second instance, I now take off my kennel clothes on the deck which then go right into the washer, and step out of my shoes outside and then spray the shoes with rubbing alcohol which seems to knock out the scent.
Females are more protective of family, their pack. Males are much more territorial, and sensitive to pack hierarchy. But this blends very well in a group.
My male dog is so aggressive and will bark at anyone he doesn't know and chase after any animal he sees, while my female dog is so fearful & timid that she will hide if we have guests over at the house and her tail goes between her legs if anyone but the residents of the house try to pet her. She only barks if she is hungry to let us know she wants food.
My shi-tzu/poodle/Basenji/ Yorkie mix (who is neutered) definitely thinks he's king of the block. Where I live there are lots of free roaming/stray/wild cats and dogs and most of the dogs are friendly but some do try to attack him he just turns around, stares them down, then growls and snaps and that sends them running. One time some "guard" dogs were following us and he just whipped around and stood his ground then growled and barked at them and they ran off.
With UA-cam and so many good ways to receive information about animal behavior it still surprises me and saddens me how man issues our society has with getting their dog trained and giving them the proper care. I always did research before getting my animals and even more when having them. Taking that initiative to learn about our pets makes them family. So much information is free and easy to get a hold of...even by simply talking to someone at a local pet store, or at the vet. It's important to understand the basics.. even though each dog is going to behave uniquely its still wise to understand so you know what signs to pay attention to when your dog does act a certain way.
Neutering and spaying is not natural. Unless it's absolutely vital for health. A lot of dog behaviour has a lot to do with upbringing and the owners understanding of their dogs.
Not true. Dogs can get more territorial if unsterilised. I’ve seen it many times. They also never stop wanting to find a make it female which is a stress for them. Watch the video and learn something 🙈
I love my dogs so much I created my channel around them. Had allot more dogs 6 months ago. One died and one of my old videos now acts as a way to share her life with the world. To share the love and joy all my dogs bring.
I guess more thoroughly bred in dogs have the neglectful father figure trope. With the Lapin Koira, a very close to origin dog race, the males are excellent fathers, like with wolves. I know my own dog's father was very involved with the raising of the litter. Which led to my dog already raising his paw to pee when we got him at 2 months....
@@RaynmanPlays I think it's more a recent development with dogs honestly. In the past, dogs still had to fend for themselves quite a bit, so it made sense for the fathers to stay involved. Nowadays most dogs don't even meet their dads, so I don't even know how we can say fathers aren't as involved. From all cases where a father is around the pups that I've seen, the dad takes a definite interest and helps as soon as the pups can walk around more. Like I said, my dog's dad was a good dad and helped with grooming and teaching.
@@oneoflokis They're adorable, fluffy and smart doggos. Not for the beginning dog owner, their intelligence and resistance to the 'alpha mindset' makes it tricky...
I know my dogs father was very involved with his pups. Especially after mom got a infection of her milk glands and was very sick. And as far as I'm aware German longhaired pointers aren't closely related to wolfs.
I have grown up with male dogs at 16 I got a female dog which I still have today. I have to say between the two female dogs is much more easier to handle but male dogs is more loyal IMO.
I know dogs usually prefer women over men, but I don't think it's because they're more intimidated by men. My friend and I were trying to capture a stray once, my friend is a very large woman, bigger than I am, and the stray dog still preferred her over me, even though she's larger and would appear more intimidating to the dog. I don't know the real reason why dogs prefer women 🤷🏽♂️ because apparently, they still prefer a woman even when she's bigger than the man is. It may be due to the fact that it's more common for men to be abusive to dogs, so dogs may have more bad experiences with men.
Pheromones. We don't smell it, but human women also spread out smells that the dog'identifies. When meeting a new dog, I always proffer my hand to smell, just like an ID card.
I’ve had 2 male dogs (I’m female) that have been perfect and lovely. However I’m now with my 3rd dog who is female and I notice a lot more bad habits… She will play with her poop, used to eat it, bring it to me 😖 and is slower to listen… my boy dogs were more attentive, didn’t mark or hump, and never ate or played with poop 🤷🏾♀️
Sometimes dogs eat poop because they are lacking in vitamins. Ours used to do it, until my wife started making his food from scratch instead of feeding him kibble. Supplements might help too. Good luck 🍀
@@Brindle_Boxer yes I read that… I add veggies, proteins, and fruits to her meals as well as a vitamin and probiotic. So she stopped eating it and now only plays with it 🤷🏾♀️ she came in my office today and brought it to me 🤢 the only time I can’t get it up soon enough is when I’m on a call. I hope she takes to outside training and we can avoid this altogether
Eating poop, means...she misses some enzymes, nutrients, bacteria and so on, to build up her immunesystem, that has to be strong as a fwmalw anyway, considering the higher demands on the body when getting pregnant and passing this enzymes, nutrients, bacteria and ither gut besties... Let her eat it... Be only careful, islf she gets sick of it..., give her then active charchoal or let her eat grass, her own fur and so on. Wolves eat fur, grass, to remove worms, parasites and other things from their bowl, if they eat something that is contaminated and so on and on. So...your dog is normal with normal behavior, with normal instincts. Give the pup and dog real fresh food. No processed companies...basically dead foods, even when adding cheap vitamins, fats and so on. Give the pup just fresh meat of all kind of animals, organs, fatty wild caught fish>> some butchers keep the leftovers and other not used meat, fish and so on and throw it away. Ask if they could give it to you for the dog. Some do, some not...Be creative. Freeze everything in for a few days...and give the pup this meat raw, light steamed, depending... And your left overs, if you eat meat, fish, veggies, fruit...non sugar yogourt, cheese, real fress butter, lard... A variety of different meat, fish, and so on and on except foods that are poisonous for dogs... So veggies with oxalates, lectins, tannines are not ok. Blue berries, rasberries, mandarin, watermelon, cucumber, little brokkoli... Processed food is very bad for us and for dogs. Factories do not produce foods with good nutrients. Make everything yourself. Dog kibble and so on, should only be given as an emergency. So choose wisely, but only for emergencies.
I've only had female dogs. At one point, I had 4 females at one time. Dominnance issues were present each time we added a dog, but were very quickly resolved with their cat fights.
My little male chihuahua loved being with me and my sister. He did not like my brother or nephew. My girl LOVES my brother and nephew. She gets so happy to see them.
@@KalanMiller She does but the minute she sees my brother or nephew she goes crazy. Tail wagging fast, she turns over to get her belly rubbed, she’s just different when they’re around. She used to do the same thing with my sister’s ex too.
I have 2 female GSD's, both are protective sweethearts and follow me everywhere, but very jealous of the cats! Neither is spayed, and I take them to the park (not dog park, just park!) while in heat, never have they ever tried to escape or roam and they're off-leash. I think it's upbringing and how clingy they are to you.
Are they intact due to personal preference or are you planning to breed them? Most of our dogs are intact, because of past experience with neutered/spayed dogs not being all that healthy.
Everyone told me to spay them because of "the bleeding" and keeeps them "childish" and never mentally mature. I went through their first heat cycle and it was nothing, 2x per year. I can handle it, and I'm female, bleeding "from there" doesn't gross me out lol. I refused to spay them after learning the amount of health issues spayed/neutered animals have, my GSD's are beautiful, fit and healthy, not "childish" acting as many spayed/neutered animals and look feminine and walk like supermodels! My boy cat was neutered at 7weeks before I adopted him and now he's 1, he is chunky and his voice still is of a kitten and has some sinus issues, most cats are fat cuz when they're fixed, their metabolism goes way down. I might want to breed them, as they are great working line GSD's, but not right now.
@@monp.4903 those are some really good reasons. I've never heard of the 'keeping them childish' reason, that's so weird that people would want that lol. Good on you for making a thought out decision ^^
A very clingy dog is for shure easer, than a dog who is more independent in character...Some breeds are more independent then others, but every dog is also different, so... Good on you, that the dogs stay with you, instead of wandering if to make babies😂
I love male dogs better 😍 !!! I think they bond better with me than female dogs ( I am female ). I also think male dogs show more confidence, ... And I like that.
My experience with male dogs has been similar. I’ve always had male dogs (not intentionally, I just always went with the dog I connected with). My newest pup is a female, my first female, and the experience is 100% different. She is very clingy and came to me so insecure and not at all protective (I was literally attacked while walking her and she did nothing). I have had create boundaries to force her to do things independently. Interesting experience for sure.
i have two females, one husky one sheperd. the husky which looks friendly and cute is over protective doesnt like strangers and would bite had to train her to stop it which took a while and she still dislikes strangers dogs and humans. the sheperd on the other hand looks aggressive but shes the friendliest dog iv ever seen to dogs and humans alike she would cuddle with anyone and loves anyone she meets. people assume the opposite when they look at them. but when close by its obvious whose friendly and whose not. still i love them both to death.
Given these people's logic, I hope they either don't get pets (especially mammals), either at least stutter a million times when someone asks : "is your dog/cat/hamster/bird/etc a he or a she?" 🤣🤣
My personal experience: male dogs are more independent and chilled while female dogs are more excitable and food driven. I’m in service dog industry and also find females are more cheeky and will push their boundaries while males are compliant and follow protocol more rigidly.
I just lost my male border collie, (neutered) Dugan of over 15 years. He was “MY” baby for sure. In his last year of life we could open the door and he’d walk the perimeter of our unfenced yard and then lay by the door until we let him back in. He rarely barked, not even to go outside. He was brilliant and I miss him so, so much. I’ve always had pets, dogs are my favorite and someday I may be the crazy dog lady. 😂 God bless.
@MCEscher my dogs are the same, I’d give anything for my dude to be as chill as my little girl 😂
I’ve also had the opposite experience as stated above lol.
@MCEscher 100% had the same experience as you with my 2 GSDs. Also, my female was boss indoors, but outside the female and their female friend both looked to the male for direction.
Ha, my female dog is EXTREMELY food driven. Very smart, she can learn new tricks in a couple attempts... but if food is involved, she will figure it out first try. It's really amazing watching her working out the solution and how focused she gets if there's any kind of treat.
We all have different experiences with different dogs. I find that female dogs seem to have a stronger protective or “ownership” behavior with their humans. Perhaps it is because they don’t have the wanderlust urge that many male dogs tend to have. But one thing for certain, male or female, dogs are a wonderful gift to us humans!
They also thinking of humans as part of thier litter
From all the dogs I've seen is that female dogs try to hump stuff their whole lives while male the male dogs I've had seem to grow out of it
Edit: unless the female dog is in heat than the male dog will become aggressive. But grows out of of the jumping of stuff.
At least that's how the two female dogs I've had were
Typically bitches usually take to and thrive with a family while dogs like to have “their” human… pack hierarchy especially with giant breeds mastiff’s and guard breeds in general has a massive impact and is the first thing I assess if I have a behavioural referral?
I've found the opposite. The male dogs I've had were more loyal and tend to suffer from separation anxiety. The females I've had were more relaxed and aloof.
This is my experience as well
I am a 200-pound man with a beard but, for some reason, pretty much all dogs come right up to me and are friendly to me. At 82, I have owned a half dozen dogs and been around hundreds and have never been bitten or threatened by an aggressive dog. I believe dogs can sense instinctively when someone, male or female, likes them and is not a threat.
Bless you sir I dream of having a life like yours 🤩
I've always believed dogs can read who people really are deep down. This is why my dog will randomly freak the f*ck out at some people and ignore or be uber-friendly with others. She's sensing their nature.
Dogs seem to love me too. I know dogs can tell when someone likes them, and when someone doesnt, many times they are afraid of that person and are more likely to be aggressive.
This. I'm very tall and bearded.
Every dog is as magically curious and interested in me as I am in them. It's love on first sight, every time
I envy you sir, to have lived to 82.
My experiences have been it's easier to convince a male dog that someone new is ok.
Some of my females have been very protective of the family and are more suspicious of strangers.
Once accepted however, the new person will be protected.
That show my female Belgian Malinois is. She hates anyone she doesn’t know.
This is my experience, as well.
I agree
That’s how my parrot is.
Because my father had a kennel license and we had many dogs over the years, I have found that a female basset hound has got to be the sweetest and most docile dog in existence. I have had 6 of them myself and my dad had one too. Right now, I have 2 seven month old female bassets named Raven and Juniper. They are sweet.
My fourth West Highland terrier is a male, neutered, four years old. He sticks to me like glue, and I could not be happier. I had always chosen female pups. Buckley is a love.
My Standard Poodle male is intact...sticks to me like velcro.....but then so does my girl standard.
Westies are the besties! Miss my boy.
I had a West Highland Terrier named Westley and he lived just one month shy of 18 years! He was the best boy in the entire world and I still think of him every day! 🐶❤️
We had a male German Shepherd/Great Dane mix and was a great dog! When I walked him he would just mind his business…but when my wife would walk him…he would be very aggressive and bark quite loudly and it seemed like he was telling other people to “stay away”.
Your wife may be subconsciously rewarding that behaviour. Your boy is just doing what he feels is expected of him.
@@BlackCoffeeee im subconsciously telling you to shutup can u hear me
That ain't good
@@BlackCoffeeee
Believe me, dogs have their own character, behavior and agenda.
People think that they are empty inside and everthing is traing to humanize them and to do what we want or not.
Really...animals do also what their body/mind/instinct/dna tells them, to put it in simple words.
Btw.
Are male humans that 'traineable' or moldable? Or?
I do not think so...
I agree. Male dogs will protect their female owners, i've found.
our male Samoyed was an amazing father, he was scard of them the first 2 or 3 weeks as they were so small lol but onece they got big enough to play he spent hours teaching them how to play and how to go toilet outside etc. Then again Samoyeds are one of the closest to wolves geneticaly
I agree, my friend's family fosters Huskies and sometimes they take in a litter or two of puppies (plus their mother, and father if known) a couple times a year. Most of them have been good at teaching the puppies (even the ones that aren't their own) about playing and being social; the others were either cases of Disability or previous abuse.
Human males don't bond strongly with their own children until around the 6 month mark. Males bond through more physical aspects that help create the mental pathways that bond us to our offspring. This is known as the "rough house" phase where dad can start to be less gentle and start to play more. I would assume the same is true for many mammal species.
@@OddBallPerformance
My father bonded with me when i was born prematurly. He has put me on his chest to sleep and later i fel asleep on his arm. My father was 1 of a kind.
Needles to say...i had a bond with my father, not my mother, because she did not nurtured me that way.
Did they assume the dogs gender?
@@heide-raquelfuss5580 I am not saying it can't happen the way it did with your father. I was just speaking of the general majority. People are always individually unique.
My experience is that female dogs tend to be more calm or easier for them to listen and follow you while male dogs tend to be a little bit more energetic and ignore your training, but still I love them no matter the gender.
I think the opposite
My bitch it a total spaz and my boy is a total snuggle bug
I have had two female dogs. Rose, my first dog, she was a bullmastiff/ridgeback mix and was gentle and lazy, all though she was very protective. She was a saint of a dog, we lost her early 2020 from old age.
Now we have a Frenchton/Pomchi, named Poppy who is only just under a year old. She is a spitfire and super energetic, very intelligent and so cute. She has a big character.
So blessed to have had such amazing members to my family.
I can only speak to the Airedale Terrier. We had many of them in the extended family over the years. The females seemed smarter, easier to train, more focused and present, more companionable, stayed closer, more protective but less aggressive and our two little girls had no problem chasing off the largest grizzlies or black bears.
Those Airedales LOVE
How many times did you encounter grizzlies and black bears?!😳
@@Arander92 We lived in a semi-remote area of BC where we were kinda "homesteading."
One summer there was a rogue Grizzly bear wandering up and down the road digging up gardens, killed a pig, broke into some sheds. The only place he did not come was our place. because of our dogs. We didn't even know of the troubles; for some reason no one told us.
Moreover there was a selective logging wood lot across the road and we would jog and walk there because of many trails and open area. Many a time we would see ahead of us Bear-dog-dog .... gone.
The chased three bears and two cubs out of the neigbours orchard one time we saw. The neighbour said it was the firs time he had fruit in years - seems our dogs took it over as part of their territory and kept the bears way every summer.
So there are three examples and I could give you many more. Those dogs didn't let anything come near their patch ... except the Resident Moose. They never bothered with him but otherwise safe as houses.
Cheers!
The one male dog I had was a sweetheart and never threatened to bite anyone once he was out of his puppy stage. All my female dogs have been bitters except my last one.
A little Angostura or orange is good in a Negroni.
Same experince here, all of my male dogs have been everyones best friend after about 10 minutes of getting to know them..the females ranged from more cautious and stand offish to actually snippy with people and dogs they dont know. However after they get to know someone the female dogs were friendly as well, just a little less so.
I love male dogs!
My male intact working cocker is a soppy little guy and has never humped nor been interested in bitches in heat. He loves the cuddles and thinks everyone, human or otherwise, is his best friend he hasn't seen for 20 years. All his toys are the best toy he's ever seen and every time he sees them it's like he's been gifted them for the first time. For 15 months he's been is at the centre of our hearts and I know that feeling will last forever. His name is Conker and I love him 🥰
My intact show/working cocker ONLY humps out of excitement. And only other dogs. No toys, no human legs, only other dogs and only when overexcited. However he’s in the middle of a fear period and every new thing is TERRIFYING so therefore he must freeze, back up behind me, and then bark at it from the safety of behind my leg. But once he’s established friendship he’s the soppiest little tart 🥺❤️
Hjr
My male Yorkie took care of my kittens when my mama cat would leave to get food and water, he would jump in and keep them warm by cuddling
Aaww that's so sweet😭😭😭 how did you make your cat and dog get along? I've never had a dog before, i'm planning to adopt one someday🤍
My two whippets are the opposite. My female is the wandering one who goes on hunting walkabouts and marks everything and get into fights. The male is constantly within my sight and very friendly, but he’s also nervous and insecure and easily scared by other dogs. Both dogs reacts pretty friendly to new people.
Are you a female owner ? Female dogs prefer male owners. Male dogs bond better with female owners.
@@Whocaress700 Female here, and I’ve actually found that female dogs like me, while male dogs tend to ignore me. I guess it varies from person to person.
@@Whocaress700 idk I kind of like certain things about male dogs too. I have a female dog but I didn’t get her because she was a girl.
My experience with Pomeranians has been
Males are generally more playful, smaller, and more affectionate
While females tend to be more often food driven, independent, and larger.
What is not mentioned is that spay/neuter should be done when dogs are reaching or at full maturity. Other types of health issues can occur when fixed too early. This is important and while not mentioned, certain breeds, the females live 11 percent longer unfixed. Overall, good to fix after becoming adult and not all breeds reach adulthood at the same pace. Some around a year and others two years.
That’s right! If sterilised when young, dogs may end up not having properly grown platelets and bone structure and in females, incontinence is common. The bigger dogs need to wait till 1.5 years old before they are considered fully grown. Btw what do u mean 11% females live longer when unfixed?
Sorry but I have to disagree on that. I have owned GSDs for 40years. ALL have been fixed at 6-8 months old and all males. There is a huge myth on what you are saying. Certain breeds are prone to health issues, so being fixed early has absolutely nothing to do with being fixed early.
Michael I so agree! The spaying and neutering of pets is the bread and butter of the small animal veterinary business. And the trend for neutering puppies and kittens at 8 weeks is abhorrent, as well as scientifically unsound.
I can tell you are google educated and not formally educated.
@@gsdmomb530 it's not a myth at all.. if you've fixed ALL your dogs that early, you have no idea how much more potential the dogs possibly had.. fixing them stops certain hormone production that dogs NEED to develop 100% to their full potential.. Just because "YOUR DOGS" didn't have any issues, doesn't mean It isn't true.. many other dogs do have issues from being fixed too young.
Interesting video! It's important to note that every dog, regardless of gender, is unique and should be evaluated based on their individual personality and behavior. Thanks for shedding light on the common differences between male and female dogs.
Kind of interesting, that just like people everyone is different, male and female in humans and dogs can have feminine traits or masculine traits. This is just statistics and a generalization. It’s funny that gender in animals and human beings is similar. But just like their is females with more masculine traits and males with more feminine traits, this is also true in male and female dogs, even though it’s not as common, it’s obviously natural.
I had a male beagle that loved puppies and babies of all types. He helped raise 3 kittens. And got to love a 4 that was abandoned by it's mom just 3 days before he passed.
Hello Heather how are you doing today
An unneutered dog I had growing up lived to be about 17 1/2 years old.Most dogs in the 1950s thru the 1960s were NOT routinely neutered, and tended to live long lives... ANY neutered dog I've had since then has made it to 12 years old, at the most. I've 'put the t wo things together', and you'd never 'sell' me on neutering a male dog again. My current dog, a Collie, is not neutered nor will he be. At three years old now, he gets along with all the other dogs he knows or meets, and is very gentle with them... It's all about considerate management of them, so they're not out there fathering unwanted puppies. There must be something to the fact that those hormones ARE needed for general, and overall, good health. Many videos have been made on that very topic.
My little girl is the most intuitive animal I've ever owned she watches me like a hawk
Hello Sean how are you doing today
Does she like to even sleep beside you (assuming she’s small enough to)
The most protective and nursing dog we ever had was a male, long haired German Shepard. He loved all infant/young creatures and took care of them. As an example, we had a pointer puppy who would fall asleep on his back. Max would patiently wait until BeBop awakened, staying still as long her nap lasted. My current, constant companion is male and has taught himself to be very careful not to hurt me as I’m disabled by severe pain. Like humans, dogs are individuals.
Sorry nurturing…obviously nursing wasn’t an option, lol.
Hello Sharon how are you doing today
My experience (of fixed dogs) is totally different. The male dogs I've had, do exactly what you say, even many times in row while having happy smile in their face, never questioning a thing. They're also less aggressive, a little bit cowardy. While female dogs are more independent, question tasks even if they know how to do them but just don't feel like doing them today, are less pleasing to humans and may be more aggressive among other dogs.
Yeah, I have a female German shepherd. While she’s obedient she can think for herself and won’t do something unless she sees a good reason for it. She also keeps me safe when I’m out in public. She’s very protective of me and I’m grateful for that. I find other people scary, especially in my town due to multiple scandals. Having her ward off some of the sketchier people all these years has been great.
I feel like female dogs also know how to behave in certain situations. My dog knows when it’s time to explore, relax or to protect. My grandpas dog, who is male, doesn’t exactly know how to behave in every situation. That might be because my dog is a working breed and because of that she has received lots of training.
we have 5 schnauzers. the males will beg for food scraps. The female minds her own business and never begs for food.
Female dogs seem to be more protective, courageous and smarter than males.
@@katarinag5256 There is no evidence for any of this. It's all anecdotes. I've experienced things like you mentioned and vice versa though male dogs have wanderlust and don't act aggressively unless the threat is real. Reasonable.
Exactly my experience. Female dogs can be very fickle and moody. She's also less friendly. My male often tries to calm her down and smooth out relationships between her and other dogs. She has made him be a great diplomat.
I really wish hoomans would stop expecting animals to have the same mindset and behavior as we do. This leads to abuse, neglect, and death. Info like this is great for all furbaby parents to know!
Wow, just, wow.
You are sooo damn right!
We humans want to control the entire world and that everyone just is, like they think you should be and function.
I am also getting tired how people want to make a dog a non dog. And all dogs are different in so many ways, like humans too.
I love so much dogs, but it breaks my heart...seeing them living with humans who expect things from dogs, that would be even considered abuse, when done to children, babies and adults...
Wow, the exact opposite has been in our house over the past 22 years of wedded bliss. The female dogs have always been momma's girls and the males have always been my baby boys.
All my male dogs lived longer than my female and the dog I had that lived the longest was my unneutered male Scottish Terrier mix he lived to be 18.
I read intact male dogs , provided they don’t have hormones issue later in life, tend to live longer than neutered male dogs. But females on the other hand, enjoy a longer life when spayed.
Well, you wouldn't mention it, if it wasn't curiosity. Which proves what is being told. Anyway, i love ''scotties'' and that old, wise faces they carry around. And, in my opinion - mixes are the most interesting dogs. Ughh, what am i babbling about? I love them all!
My last dog.. intact Female Jack Russel.
Lived for 14 years ... died of Lymph cancer.
I hope my new puppy (female Jack Russel) also lives a long happy intact life.
My Great Pyrenees stud is probably the best daddy dog I've ever met in my life we were only able to keep one of the pups because nine puppies is an overload for our farm. Him and his son run amok happy playing and loving on each other constantly whenever I bring Mama out with me, all three of them are absolutely hilarious.
I searched for this topic months ago and there weren’t many good videos. Thanks
Well, yeah my male dog clings to me more than to my husband and my female dog wants to be with my husband more than with me. We love each equally they just have their preferences. Also yes, female and male dogs get along better as housemates.
My male dog is a lot more affectionate than my girl. He has been neutered and luckily doesn't seem to have the urge to mark territory. My female is a sweetie and likes to be close to me but my male would attach himself to me 24 hours a day if he could.
Same.
I have an 18 month old male Altdeutche german shepard, he's a wonderful 90 pound furmissile.
Extremely protective around the home, will growl and bark at strangers who walk up to the gate at the driveway, until I get out and see what's up.
He is getting some similar training to police dogs, he is very energetic but can also relax on the couch with me.
He is generally very excited about his humans, very protective and loyal.
My old boy died two weeks ago . He was 14 , intact , no sicknesses until the weekend end he had to be put down . Miss him like mad .
I can tell he had a good life, from your love for him. Your time together is etched into the universe forever.
Why did he have to be put down 😢
@@jayasmrmore3687 he was old partly blind,deaf going off his legs getting older then one weekend his heart started to go when I took him to the vets they said he was about to have a heart attack so I followed their advice I didn’t want him to suffer anymore than he was getting old, when I said sickness I meant in any that didn’t need pronged treatment . He was old and had a good life. I still feel guilty in making that decision but didn’t want him to suffer anymore.
@@diegestive4167 in that case you made the hard but I think right decision
It's almost like certain sexual traits are common in all mammals while still allowing for individual differences because living things aren't computers bound by programming but living things with personalities of their own... Testosterone tends to produce larger, stronger, more aggressive mammals with a strong drive to reproduce with as many partners as possible in their lifetimes... Estrogen tends to produce smaller, gentler, more caring, social mammals equipped to raise the young they give birth to... Who'd have thought the basics of the science of mammal biology could be so easily observable by anyone paying attention...
Ikr 😭
Wow! I learned so much from this video! Thank you! I was about to adopt another female to keep my current female puppy company but now I know I need a male puppy to make a peaceful home!
From the amount of urine marking my old 20 pound pooch does, he THINKS he's king of the neighborhood.
I’ve had mostly mixed breed, fixed dogs of both genders. The females have always been alpha and are more pushy, the males have been submissive and more laid back. The females can even be somewhat aggressive against other dogs that are not in the family. They have clearly ruled the doggie roost! I have usually had at least two dogs at a time also.
LOL the way he pronounces superfecundation!!! 😆😆😆
The only dog I ever had was as a kid. She was a ~35lb. lab/ terrier mix from the ASPCA. She was wonderful; super playful and affectionate, would protect me from the bullies in the neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect dog.
I've heard a saying, "If you want a good dog get a female. If you want a great dog get a male and keep your fingers crossed." From my experience I disagree.
8:03 is unexpected comedy gold. 😂
The 2 dogs of the same breed we had were very different.
The female was much gentler with us, and would bark or growl at things she has never seen before. But she loved to stay near us and enjoyed gentler activities.
The male, would always patrol the area, and I have watched him whip snakes (he hated them) apart. He loved to go exploring alone.
He loved to play and was very rough compared to the female.
I mean there is also personality involved. Any dog owner can tell you how different dogs can be just by nature, so out of the norm there are those that are kinder and rougher
@@Kingdramana very true. I own a full blooded German Shepardad male. While he was rpdy and destructive as a puppy. He learned to follow the rules very quickly. Now days he just like to lay around and play tug of war. What great dogs they are
I’ve had male and female dogs during my 70 years. My current 8 month old male Australian Labradoodle is the most loving and devoted dog I have ever had.
My mum used to have a male labradoodle. She's had about five dogs but he was far more in tune with people than any of the others. Would go and find someone if you were calling them. Or alert you to the dishwasher been finished. Wasn't trained to do any of this, just loved helping.
I find male dogs slower to mature than females and I also find females more independent than their male counter parts. This is my experience after owning 5 males and 4 females. Although all the dogs I've owned have been border collies, so it could be breed specific.
So same as in humans

Dogs #5 and #6, KoKo and Mercí, napping now. All female pit bulls. First one, 1997. Had 2 dogs since 2000. They need a playmate, if you can swing it. 1 dog died at 10, the other three at 13.
A true blessing to have had 6 dogs to love and care for. And the unconditional love from them: PRICELESS!
Fascinating how UA-cam allows a video about the differences between male and female dogs, but are also working to remove content about the difference between male and female humans...
The agenda is real
My female dog (mostly belgian malinois) actually broke out of my house one day while i was running errands, apparently to come find me. Luckily a nice guy in the neighborhood, found her walking one of our regular routes lol
I have 2 female dogs that are sisters, I adopted both 4 years ago and they really love me! I have always had female dogs because they are sweet and obedient.
I prefer females too.
What’s people often misunderstand is that dogs have been patriarchal for quite a while now, so it’s best that we intervene with their toxic masculine behavior. We need to teach them consent, and to not chase female dogs who run away from them.

Keep in mind when fixing your dog's, that this will affect their joints, I have had Newfoundlands for 30+ yrs. And the ones I have adopted fixed had hip problems much earlier. the ones I have had fixed at 5 or 6 yrs old, lived much longer & less joint problems, My oldest newfy was 14+ yrs.
Hello Susan how are you doing today
@@johnlarry2182
WTF?
My dogs had a litter of pups November 23 of last year and dad was as good with them as mom. He was super attentive, helped with cleaning them, and protected them. It was very weird but in the best way possible.
Not like most human males 😅
from personal experience I have seen the father of pups show great attention/interest towards the pups, between a pair of Huskies and German Shepherds. Mostly only after the mother would allow the father to come near the pups, is when the father would be super protective, playful, and even clean them once in a while. It could be more common for the males not to have much interest, but the few I have dealt with had full interest in being apart of those pups lives.
I have two. I have a Dachshund and a rat terrier who had puppies last year. The Dachshund loved smelling and helping the rat terrier clean up the puppies poop. But that's the only dog she let get close
My Chihuahua Molly was banned from the den for 8 weeks. Not my rule, it was Daisy and Ren's rule.
Spaying and neutering in large breed dogs is best done around 2 years so they have plenty of time with those hormones to help them grow. A dog that is neutered or spayed too early is at a higher risk of developing joint problems such as hip dysplasia
I think my boys aren't that typical in some things then. They are not neutered, but do adore each other. They are not overly interested in females in heat (one would rather play then sniff her even). One of the two is more weary of men and protective over me while my other one is a daddy's boy. They are not aggressive and don't tend to wander off. One ran off once after he managed to pee over an electric fence. He ran straight home and was a shivering mess at our back door. I have a German longhaired pointer and a Australian working kelpie.
And you can apply this information to humans, and find that biologically male humans have many specific things in common, like 30% more muscle and bone mass, and are therefore naturally stronger than their equivalently-sized female humans. Hence, Males should NEVER participate in WOMEN's Sports. Otherwise, what's the point of Female Competition??? You cannot change a male to a female or vice-versa, whether by Surgery or Pharmaceuticals. That's why we have Biology in the first place. These are simple facts that we ALL USED to Know and accept, but today SOME (Small Percentage of) people want to ignore and deny REAL science and biology. Peace to all the awakening ones.
We have had several Rescue Dogs and have found that they all got along, no matter their gender so I am wondering if spaying and neutering is partly the reason? I did find the females all preferred my husband even though I am the one who takes them for walks and feeds them. Traitors, lol. Having said that, the males definitely preferred me, so at least my husband didn't steal all the dogs, lol.
Same with my dog!!!! I spend the most time with her and things but when my dads around she prefers him 100%. My dad won’t let us have 2 dogs so that’s sad. I could’ve had a male dog!!! Lol. Male dogs always preferred me a lot at friends houses and things
I think it could depend on the breed. I had a female dog and got a second female who was very aggressive/dominant. The first female was very submissive so most of the time they got along, but the aggressive dog would still occasionally start fights. Never had problems with male/female dog combos.
Good information .
My unfixed dogs have all lived long healthy lives the youngest of them was 13+ who died from an allergic reaction to an insect bite. The others were 14-15+ when they died. They never wandered or left their yards. My Aussie found her way out once and she met me out side of the front door.
It's a way to push eugenics.
Nobody hates the human race as much as animal shelter workers, and some vets/vet assistants.
My two female dogs are not spayed, but they have never had pups. When they are in heat, I walk them on leash in a secluded and gated area, where they are safe. I can definitely say my female dogs are extremely protective over me. My male dog was chilled. My female dogs do not like strangers and they stick to my side
That one person that thinks every dog is a male watching this: 👁️👄👁️
Lol
Have had girls my whole life, I prefer females strongly. They're smarter and more independent. I don't know, my female dogs actually prefer women to men, but I think it's because women are more likely to fuss, pet and show physical affection to dogs
I agree, have dogs all my life, males firts femakes later, all males were more assertive and active and love barking, my girls re so cute and gentle and relax and they dont piss the whole house
If you have all live girls not even single boy dog, how do you know the difference?
Those last 2 really made me go "Wow! Those were some jaw-dropping facts!"
my partner and I originally got a male aussie to be his companion hahah. He picks me over him ALL the time 🤣
and yes he is more protective of me when we go on our walks and I did notice, he only gets protective with males.
Cutest video. Very well done 👍 😆😍😍😍😍😍
Fun fact. Most people think female dogs are more gentle and less likely to mark than males. In reality, female dogs are vicious animals. Two females living together are three times as likely to start fighting than two males living together. If two females in the house are fighting, there’s only a 10% likelihood that training can improve the situation. When two males in the house are fighting, there is an 83% likelihood that training will improve the situation. Females also mark WAY more than males, including in the house, especially when they live with another dog.
I have a female and she doesn’t mark anything in the house
@@jayasmrmore3687 my girls don’t mark in the house anymore either.
@@dognerd7385 did they do that when younger?
@@dognerd7385 where did you learn so much about dogs? I looked at your channel name and description I’m just curious
@@jayasmrmore3687 they did that when I introduced a new female into the house. My established dog wanted the new girl to know what was hers, and the new female wanted to establish her own place in the house.
I learned from a combination of research and experience.
Reading the comments from all these dog “experts” is going to be hilarious.
I'm not sure neutering doesn't also have disadvantages for prolonging a dog's life.
My brother in law neutered their dog (female) when she was 7 years, she noticeably started to deteriorate and age faster after being neutered, vet said it was because the body didn't produce the hormones needed to keep everything running smoothly.
It is true. And if people think or believe otherwise, they are just not thinking indepth enough.
I know that women who do not produce enough hormones anymore due to pre menopause or menopause also start to age faster and have all kind of physical changes and issues.
So normal hormones that are in a body should not be taken away...
Hormones are very complicated to understand, but in science they know the right ballance in hormones are vital fir a proper functioning body.
I am flabbergasted that people do not connect the dots here...or vets.
I knew only 1 vet who secretly told me, do not castrate your dog.
Also...an interresting thing here.
A woman ones asked me if i had children. I said 1 child. She was surprised that i had only 1 at my age. I was then 46 years old. She asked why only 1. I replied, because i am old to get a baby, because of the risk to have a handicaped child. She said...in my country women get oregnant even at 60 years old! And the risk is not higher...!
She was from Macedonia.
She said...it is normal to have children at 60 years old, until you can not conceive anymore.
I thought...but a lot of women where i live are in menopause or pre- menopause at 50 years old!
So...why do they have still their menses at 60 years old? Why are they still fertile and we basically struggling to conceive even at 25 years old and up?
Hormones out of wack?
Bless you much.
I can easily earn the trust of female dogs. They stay with you all day. But I can say that male dogs are much more touchy, they're more needy for attention. I love them all for sure.
Dogs are THE best natural anti depressant there is. Have had dogs for over 20 years. Always have a pair of male and female dogs together always neutered/spayed. Have had a few rescues (including one of my current dogs) so they are always neutered anyway. Have found the females always tend to be closer to me. Very much MY dogs and tend to want to stick with me even when just sitting down at home. Want to always been touching me. Males have usually been more independent. Wouldn’t swap my dogs for anything.
At least we can discuss the difference between male and female in the animal kingdom. Haha
My male is neutered but was done so at age 11 when I adopted him as a surrender. He is 15 now and still spry. I volunteer at a shelter, which is where I actually met him. But sometimes I work with females who are in heat. Twice now I have stepped in urine of a female in heat and came home with this on my shoes and my poor boy lost his shit. He started whining and crying and pacing and the first time I was a bit freaked out not having put the two and two together until he started humping. He had humped once after I adopted him and that was at about the 7 days mark after his neuter so that was the last of his testosterone leaving. This first event was about a year later and when he started humping I finally recalled I had been in the kennel of a female in heat and there was urine on the floor. After the second instance, I now take off my kennel clothes on the deck which then go right into the washer, and step out of my shoes outside and then spray the shoes with rubbing alcohol which seems to knock out the scent.
Why does heated female urine make him cry? Wouldn’t it technically make them sexually excited
Females are more protective of family, their pack. Males are much more territorial, and sensitive to pack hierarchy.
But this blends very well in a group.
Esp 1 male to multi female
My dog loves my Grandad more than anything and he is a male
This explains why all my boy dogs were so loving toward me as opposed to my hubby.
My male dog is almost 14 years old and still going strong.
The park shown at 1:41 is Wigley Field in Chicago ❤️ This is our favorite park to go to and very cool to recognize it in this video!
This is very interesting
My male dog is so aggressive and will bark at anyone he doesn't know and chase after any animal he sees, while my female dog is so fearful & timid that she will hide if we have guests over at the house and her tail goes between her legs if anyone but the residents of the house try to pet her. She only barks if she is hungry to let us know she wants food.
My shi-tzu/poodle/Basenji/ Yorkie mix (who is neutered) definitely thinks he's king of the block. Where I live there are lots of free roaming/stray/wild cats and dogs and most of the dogs are friendly but some do try to attack him he just turns around, stares them down, then growls and snaps and that sends them running. One time some "guard" dogs were following us and he just whipped around and stood his ground then growled and barked at them and they ran off.
With UA-cam and so many good ways to receive information about animal behavior it still surprises me and saddens me how man issues our society has with getting their dog trained and giving them the proper care. I always did research before getting my animals and even more when having them. Taking that initiative to learn about our pets makes them family. So much information is free and easy to get a hold of...even by simply talking to someone at a local pet store, or at the vet. It's important to understand the basics.. even though each dog is going to behave uniquely its still wise to understand so you know what signs to pay attention to when your dog does act a certain way.
Neutering and spaying is not natural. Unless it's absolutely vital for health. A lot of dog behaviour has a lot to do with upbringing and the owners understanding of their dogs.
Yup!
Not true. Dogs can get more territorial if unsterilised. I’ve seen it many times. They also never stop wanting to find a make it female which is a stress for them. Watch the video and learn something 🙈
They can do if the owners don't know how to deal with it for sure.
I love my dogs so much I created my channel around them. Had allot more dogs 6 months ago. One died and one of my old videos now acts as a way to share her life with the world. To share the love and joy all my dogs bring.
My experience has been that fixed male dogs are more chill, over all, but both genders make great loving pets.
I feel the same.
Just like humans then!
That’s so awesome that the oldest dog was a blue heeled named Bluey! 😂
I guess more thoroughly bred in dogs have the neglectful father figure trope. With the Lapin Koira, a very close to origin dog race, the males are excellent fathers, like with wolves. I know my own dog's father was very involved with the raising of the litter. Which led to my dog already raising his paw to pee when we got him at 2 months....
It might have to do with dogs being more neotenous than wolves. Lower mental maturity could result in a higher inclination towards abandonment.
@@RaynmanPlays I think it's more a recent development with dogs honestly. In the past, dogs still had to fend for themselves quite a bit, so it made sense for the fathers to stay involved. Nowadays most dogs don't even meet their dads, so I don't even know how we can say fathers aren't as involved.
From all cases where a father is around the pups that I've seen, the dad takes a definite interest and helps as soon as the pups can walk around more. Like I said, my dog's dad was a good dad and helped with grooming and teaching.
Gosh. I've never heard of a Lapin Koira!
@@oneoflokis They're adorable, fluffy and smart doggos. Not for the beginning dog owner, their intelligence and resistance to the 'alpha mindset' makes it tricky...
I know my dogs father was very involved with his pups. Especially after mom got a infection of her milk glands and was very sick. And as far as I'm aware German longhaired pointers aren't closely related to wolfs.
I have grown up with male dogs at 16 I got a female dog which I still have today. I have to say between the two female dogs is much more easier to handle but male dogs is more loyal IMO.
I know dogs usually prefer women over men, but I don't think it's because they're more intimidated by men. My friend and I were trying to capture a stray once, my friend is a very large woman, bigger than I am, and the stray dog still preferred her over me, even though she's larger and would appear more intimidating to the dog. I don't know the real reason why dogs prefer women 🤷🏽♂️ because apparently, they still prefer a woman even when she's bigger than the man is. It may be due to the fact that it's more common for men to be abusive to dogs, so dogs may have more bad experiences with men.
Pheromones.
We don't smell it, but human women also spread out smells that the dog'identifies.
When meeting a new dog, I always proffer my hand to smell, just like an ID card.
Super interesting!
I’ve had 2 male dogs (I’m female) that have been perfect and lovely. However I’m now with my 3rd dog who is female and I notice a lot more bad habits… She will play with her poop, used to eat it, bring it to me 😖 and is slower to listen… my boy dogs were more attentive, didn’t mark or hump, and never ate or played with poop 🤷🏾♀️
Sometimes dogs eat poop because they are lacking in vitamins. Ours used to do it, until my wife started making his food from scratch instead of feeding him kibble. Supplements might help too. Good luck 🍀
@@Brindle_Boxer yes I read that… I add veggies, proteins, and fruits to her meals as well as a vitamin and probiotic. So she stopped eating it and now only plays with it 🤷🏾♀️ she came in my office today and brought it to me 🤢 the only time I can’t get it up soon enough is when I’m on a call. I hope she takes to outside training and we can avoid this altogether
Eating poop, means...she misses some enzymes, nutrients, bacteria and so on, to build up her immunesystem, that has to be strong as a fwmalw anyway, considering the higher demands on the body when getting pregnant and passing this enzymes, nutrients, bacteria and ither gut besties...
Let her eat it...
Be only careful, islf she gets sick of it..., give her then active charchoal or let her eat grass, her own fur and so on.
Wolves eat fur, grass, to remove worms, parasites and other things from their bowl, if they eat something that is contaminated and so on and on.
So...your dog is normal with normal behavior, with normal instincts.
Give the pup and dog real fresh food. No processed companies...basically dead foods, even when adding cheap vitamins, fats and so on.
Give the pup just fresh meat of all kind of animals, organs, fatty wild caught fish>> some butchers keep the leftovers and other not used meat, fish and so on and throw it away. Ask if they could give it to you for the dog. Some do, some not...Be creative.
Freeze everything in for a few days...and give the pup this meat raw, light steamed, depending...
And your left overs, if you eat meat, fish, veggies, fruit...non sugar yogourt, cheese, real fress butter, lard...
A variety of different meat, fish, and so on and on except foods that are poisonous for dogs...
So veggies with oxalates, lectins, tannines are not ok.
Blue berries, rasberries, mandarin, watermelon, cucumber, little brokkoli...
Processed food is very bad for us and for dogs. Factories do not produce foods with good nutrients.
Make everything yourself.
Dog kibble and so on, should only be given as an emergency. So choose wisely, but only for emergencies.
"superfecundation" is now my new all-time favorite word!

OLD & INACCURATE INFO ON BEING SPAYED & NEUTERED......
My little male chihuahua loved being with me and my sister. He did not like my brother or nephew. My girl LOVES my brother and nephew. She gets so happy to see them.
So does the girl not like you?
@@KalanMiller She does but the minute she sees my brother or nephew she goes crazy. Tail wagging fast, she turns over to get her belly rubbed, she’s just different when they’re around. She used to do the same thing with my sister’s ex too.
@@Sirie7206 I guess she seems to favor men more. While your male one seems to like women more
I have 2 female GSD's, both are protective sweethearts and follow me everywhere, but very jealous of the cats!
Neither is spayed, and I take them to the park (not dog park, just park!) while in heat, never have they ever tried to escape or roam and they're off-leash.
I think it's upbringing and how clingy they are to you.
Are you planning to get them spayed? Or do you want to breed them?
Are they intact due to personal preference or are you planning to breed them? Most of our dogs are intact, because of past experience with neutered/spayed dogs not being all that healthy.
Everyone told me to spay them because of "the bleeding" and keeeps them "childish" and never mentally mature. I went through their first heat cycle and it was nothing, 2x per year. I can handle it, and I'm female, bleeding "from there" doesn't gross me out lol. I refused to spay them after learning the amount of health issues spayed/neutered animals have, my GSD's are beautiful, fit and healthy, not "childish" acting as many spayed/neutered animals and look feminine and walk like supermodels!
My boy cat was neutered at 7weeks before I adopted him and now he's 1, he is chunky and his voice still is of a kitten and has some sinus issues, most cats are fat cuz when they're fixed, their metabolism goes way down.
I might want to breed them, as they are great working line GSD's, but not right now.
@@monp.4903 those are some really good reasons. I've never heard of the 'keeping them childish' reason, that's so weird that people would want that lol. Good on you for making a thought out decision ^^
A very clingy dog is for shure easer, than a dog who is more independent in character...Some breeds are more independent then others, but every dog is also different, so...
Good on you, that the dogs stay with you, instead of wandering if to make babies😂
My new swear word! 😅 superfecundation 😂😂😂😂😂
I love male dogs better 😍 !!! I think they bond better with me than female dogs ( I am female ). I also think male dogs show more confidence, ... And I like that.
My experience with male dogs has been similar. I’ve always had male dogs (not intentionally, I just always went with the dog I connected with). My newest pup is a female, my first female, and the experience is 100% different. She is very clingy and came to me so insecure and not at all protective (I was literally attacked while walking her and she did nothing). I have had create boundaries to force her to do things independently. Interesting experience for sure.
i have two females, one husky one sheperd.
the husky which looks friendly and cute is over protective doesnt like strangers and would bite had to train her to stop it which took a while and she still dislikes strangers dogs and humans.
the sheperd on the other hand looks aggressive but shes the friendliest dog iv ever seen to dogs and humans alike she would cuddle with anyone and loves anyone she meets.
people assume the opposite when they look at them. but when close by its obvious whose friendly and whose not.
still i love them both to death.
This the same for humans, after all we are animals too (ape) but he woke don’t like truth and reality.
Given these people's logic, I hope they either don't get pets (especially mammals), either at least stutter a million times when someone asks : "is your dog/cat/hamster/bird/etc a he or a she?" 🤣🤣
