Is it better to get a male or female dog

Choose between getting a male or female dog truly depends on the future buyers' preferences. Although the differences are not determining, there are some variations. One of the heaviest reasons is reproduction. However, having a bitch does not mean she has to reproduce once in a lifetime. In fact, bitches do not expect to be mothers, and do not get traumatized for not having litter. Bitches are in heat twice a year. During these periods, proximity of a male has to be avoided. It is possible for a bitch to be harassed by two or three dogs. On the other hand, we have to be careful with female diseases, such as problems in the reproductive system, or "psychological pregnancies". The frequency of visits to the vet will be the same as with a male. Advantages, nevertheless, are obvious: bitches are not as authoritarian as males, and are lovelier, which makes them perfect for children or the elderly. Moreover, their maternal instinct makes them protect the people they are responsible for.

If, on the contrary, you prefer a male dog, you have to consider they have a stronger personality, and tend to e more impulsive. A dog will only obey if you treat him with the firmness and authority he would expect from a leader of his herd. His behavior, however, will be more infantile and impetuous, and he will probably be more mischievous and playful than a bitch. At any rate, once the dog is 6 months old, positive qualities begin to blossom. He can become a great hard working mate, or a ferocious warden or shepherd according to the breed.
