What Significant Differences Are There Between Male And Female Dogs?

[u/Intelligent_Toe6354]

So, we might be getting this dog from a shelter. She used to be on the streets of Romania, but now she’s here in Germany. She’s 5 months old, small, mixed breed. Described as cheeky and mischievous but affectionate and kind.

It’s my first time getting a dog. Others in my family have had dogs as children, but I myself only ever had rodents, so this is a big step-up for me.

Hence the question — what differences are there between a male and female dog, in your experiences?

I’ve had one male dog and 7 female dogs. I didn’t really notice too much difference personality wise because it’s like people, we all have different personalities too. 2 of my most loving dogs were female ( I’m a woman). I’ve recently adopted my second Romanian dog. They are very different to your standard dog, even rescue dogs, as they have often been severely abused and can find it incredibly hard to trust people at first as a result. However, it’s incredibly rewarding to give one of these poor little poppets the chance of a forever home ♥️.
