If you are going to own a dog, the sex of dog you choose will be an important factor. Males tend to be more aggressive than females towards their handlers and also during encounters with dogs in your neighborhood.
Housebreaking a dog will take time and patience. Female dogs are mostly easily trainable compared to male dogs. They also fair much better when brought to dog training courses. The reason for this that male dogs need to be more aggressive to survive on the wild. The more aggressive the dog the higher the survivability rate and the higher its chance to become the alpha male that gets to breed with all the females in the pack.
Getting a female dog will be better for you if you are worried about your home becoming turned upside down - males will chew through almost anything until properly trained.
Male dogs are inclined to be wanders as well. Most of the dogs in lost dogs taken to the dog pound aren't normally females. If you have never owned a dog before, or you aren't good with dog training consider a female dog as house breaking will be much easier. Females will very seldom urine mark as that is the territorial nature of male dogs.
Sometimes owning a male dog can be quite embarrassing, especially when visitors come over to your house. Male dogs are known to be more aggressive towards visitors and are also renown for humping or sniffing the lower regions of your lady friends.
According to research, the dogs tend to be more affectionate towards their handlers if they were the opposite sex. The studies have shown that female dogs tend to react more favorably towards their male handlers.
Males tend to start urine marking their territories at a fairy young age. Once a puppy reaches adolescence (which takes about 3 months), they will begin to lift up one of their legs to mark locations like wall corners, couches or lamp posts if you're taking them out for walks. They will also yelp a lot less by this time as it is an inbuilt mechanism for survival so they do not attract larger predators. In addition they will also turn extremely curious and begin wandering around so you will need to keep a sharp eye on them.
This development is partly genetic, but also depends on individual circumstances: as this style of urination is associated with scent marking in adults, rank can have an effect, and cocking of the leg can appear later in lower-ranked dogs. The onset of puberty varies with both the breed and the sex of the dog. Males of round 4 months old begin to become interested in females in heat, but a full intro-mission that could lead to fertile mating only starts at about 7 to 8 months.
A female will only pique her interest in male dogs after she reaches her first season for breeding, and will not show any signs of interest or attraction prior to that. Female dogs will remain in puberty for about seven to ten months, while really large breeds of dog will only reach that point after two years. - 29895
