Male Vs. Female

I have been involved in the animal field since I was approximately ten years of age. Throughout my life, I have volunteered at several animal shelters/horse stables,  worked as a bather and graduated to a groomer. With this learned knowledge, I had the pleasure of opening my own grooming business. I went on to work in an animal hospital as a kennel cleanup employee where they taught me proper sanitation/cleaning methods on top of numerous things a vet tech does. Now I am a breeder and a full time at home mom of 6 children. I can tell you I am well knowledged in the field of animals, I have been around many breeds all different sizes, shapes, and genders and so far my conclusion on this matter is.

Frequently Asked Questions​ So is There Any Real Difference Between Males & Females?

No, if you fix the puppy at an early age then there is no difference in gender. Most licensed veterinarians experienced breeders and, professional dog trainers will tell you that sex is irrelevant IF the puppy is spayed or neutered early.

*If you are concerned about us having every puppy fixed at 8 weeks of age please feel free to click on any of these websites "in red listed below" for more information on myths and facts about early sterilization of animals. You need to find reputable sites that give truthful information based on studies, not theories or speculations on topics. You can achieve this by looking for information on.Org,.Gov and, .Edu websites. You never want to get info from a .com website when it comes to extremely important information such as this. I learned this in college.


Yes, there is a tremendous difference in a dog's behavior IF you DO NOT fix it. NOT because of “gender” but because of its natural instinct to breed. Studies have proven time and time again that dogs who are driven to breed act more like “pack animals” whereas dogs that are spayed and neutered early behave like “domesticated pets.” So you are doing your pet a HUGE favor by having it spayed and neutered early.

Studies Have Proven that Pets who are NOT Spayed or Neutered tend to have some of these issues.

  • Aggressive traits: such as nipping or biting children
  • Most dog bites are from unaltered pets
  • Possessive of food
  • Possessive of toys
  • Possessive of people
  • Dominance issues
  • Tendency to be destructive
  • Excessive Barking
  • Digging
  • Climbing over fences - trying to escape or wandering off especially when in heat (Females), or when a female is in heat within a 2-mile radius of your (Males).
  • Lifting their leg to pee on everything also known as marking their territory. Female dogs mark their area as well they just don't raise there legs to do it.

Also Proven to Have A Higher Risk for Health Isues Such as

  • Mammary gland tumors
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Uterine cancer
  • Testicular cancer
  • Prostate disease
  • incontinence

A USA Today (May 7, 2013) article cites that pets who live in the states with the highest rates of spaying/neutering also live the longest. According to the report, neutered male dogs live 18% longer than un-neutered male dogs, and spayed female dogs live 23% longer than unspayed female dogs. The story goes on to add that in Mississippi, the lowest-ranking state for pet longevity, 44% of the dogs are not neutered or spayed. (Humane Society)

Why Are Unaltered Dogs More Difficult?

The simple fact is if you don't fix an animal at an early age their hormones take over and natural instincts kick in. If you wait for a male to be 12 months old to fix them, they will already begin to lift their legs and have the urge to want to mark their territory all over everything as pack animals do. Except, in this case, it would be all over the sides of furniture or posts, etc. They also begin to feel the urge to want to assert their dominance and become more aggressive/possessive over things; the females get the same way. It is natural in pack animals to assert their dominance to achieve a pecking order; this is why serious dog fights are much more common in unaltered animals.

Which Gender is Better?

Truthfully, that is entirely a personal preference. If you research this topic, you will find conflicting answers, and that is because everyone has their own opinion.  A lot of families will say “I will only get a boy dog because they are great with kids and much more loving/affectionate.” But then, on the other hand, you will have just as many families stating the same about female dogs. 

In all honesty– both male and female dogs are equal.

 Everyone has a different preference, personal experience and a reason why they choose a specific gender.
