Why male puppies are better than females!!!
Many people believe that female dogs make better pets...female preference
seems to be ingrained in these people. Most calls for pet dogs have people
wanting a 'sweet girl'. They don't think females display alpha behaviors like
'marking' and/or 'humping'. They believe that they are more docile and attentive
and do not participate in fighting over dominance. Well folks, this is not true and
they don't call them a 'bitch' for nothing!
In the dog pack makeup, females usually rule the roost, determine pecking order,
and who compete to maintain and/or alter that order. The females are, as a result,
more independent, stubborn, and territorial than their male counterparts. The
females are much more intent upon exercising their dominance by participating in
alpha behaviors such as 'humping'. There IS a reason people utilize the technical
dog term of 'bitch' in a negative way-and it refers directly to the behaviors
exhibited by the females of the dog world. Most fights will usually break out
between 2 females. Males, on the other hand, are usually more affectionate,
exuberant, attentive, and more demanding of attention. They are very attached to
their people. They also tend to be more steadfast, reliable, and less moody. They
are more outgoing, more accepting of other pets, and take quicker to children.
Most boys are easily motivated by food (how true!!) and praise, and so eager to
please that training is easy. However, males can be more easily distracted during
training, as males like to play so often. And no matter what age, he is more likely
to act silly and more puppy-like, always wanting to play games. Boys are fun
/*loving until the day they die. Females tend to be more reserved or dignified as
they age. Witness the human equivalent of the twinkling eyed Grandpa still playing
catch at age 70, while Grandma quietly observes from the porch.
