When many people choose a dog, in addition to screening the breed, they also consider the gender of the dog. Why? That's because even within the same breed of dogs, there are big differences between male and female dogs.
1. In terms of price,
there is a certain difference in price between male dogs and female dogs.
Because female dogs can reproduce and reproduce, from this aspect, the available value is relatively high. Therefore, even if the dogs are of the same breed and appearance, female dogs are generally more expensive than male dogs.
2. In terms of estrus
female dogs will have estrus twice a year, each time lasting about 15 days. During the period of estrus, menstrual blood secretions will flow out of the female dog's genitals. At this time, the owner is required to clean it regularly, and the resistance of female dogs in estrus is generally relatively low, so the poop scraper should pay attention to careful care.
Male dogs do not have a fixed estrus period in a year. They usually show signs of estrus when they see a female dog, and then mount the female dog, which makes the owner very embarrassed. Moreover, male dogs have stronger territorial awareness than female dogs, and they often urinate everywhere to mark their scent and demonstrate their status.
3. In terms of appearance,
, to a certain extent, male dogs are generally better in appearance than female dogs, because male dogs can secrete a large amount of male hormones in their bodies, and male hormones can make the dog's hair look fluffier. Moreover, male dogs are larger than female dogs, with larger skeletons and thicker bones, which makes male dogs look better in appearance than female dogs.
4. In terms of personality
Even dogs of the same breed have relatively large differences in personality due to differences in gender. Generally speaking, male dogs are braver, lively, and carefree, because male dogs are more courageous, relatively less afraid of strangers, have stronger adaptability, can easily accept unfamiliar environments and new things, and are less likely to suffer from separation anxiety.
Female dogs generally have a more reserved personality. Many times, female dogs prefer to stick to their owners quietly. When they cannot see their owners for a long time or do not receive their attention, they will lose their sense of security. Compared with male dogs, they are more dependent on their owners and can feel the changes in their owners' emotions better.
5. In terms of IQ
In terms of IQ, there are also certain differences in the results shown by male dogs and female dogs. Because male dogs are generally more confident, react quickly, and have stronger learning abilities, while female dogs are more cautious and have relatively poor learning abilities. So in this comparison, it will appear that male dogs have higher IQs.
However, male dogs are less obedient to passwords. They are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they will ignore their master's passwords if they get out of play. Female dogs are different. They generally will not let go and will obey their master's commands even outside.
6. In terms of sterilization
it is generally recommended that male dogs should be sterilized after 8 months of age, while female dogs should be sterilized after their first heat. The cost of neutering a male dog is between 300-500, while the cost of neutering a female dog is between 500-1000. After neutering, both dogs can avoid many reproductive system diseases. Female dogs will no longer bleed during estrus, and male dogs will become gentler in temperament and reduce random urination.
The recovery period for male dogs after neutering is relatively short. Generally, they can basically recover in a week, while female dogs need about a month.
But whether it is a male dog or a female dog, in order to prevent them from licking their wounds during the recovery period, they need to wear an Elizabethan collar. However, dogs are generally more resistant. At this time, the poop shoveler needs to appease their emotions to avoid overreaction. For example, prepare some delicious snacks for your dog.
No matter whether we are raising a male dog or a female dog, as long as we decide to raise it, it will be a unique little cutie in the eyes of the dog owner. We must be responsible for the dog's life, and dogs cannot do without the support of various nutrients at all stages of growth, so in terms of diet, we must also choose nutritious dog food for them.
