I've always had males.Someone once said males protect the property, females the human. I agree with this. This is my first time having a female (could be the breeding) but she seems to worship the ground I walk on, no matter where we are or what we are doing, she is tuned into me. I've never had another dog like it. She is very protective of me no matter where we are.
Sometimes it can be annoying because she is very nosey, nothing gets by her, however, she's grown on me. Anyone else agree or disagree for that matter?

My female was a very good protector of the property....On the other hand my male is very protective of the property, me, the truck, the house, the yard, .....or maybe it's himself that he's worried about, this has yet to be determined....lol...

I do think males often bond more strongly to female handlers and vice versa. My females are more likely to test me, and while one is extremely bonded to me, she behaves very similarly to my male and does not display any of the behaviors the OP is describing.

She is also protective of the property, but not so much that I am worried for the delivery man. She accepts the Gardener without so much as a woof or growl, but when I had a substite Gardender, she wouldn't let him in the backyard.
She's a dependable and sensible watch dog, I wouldn't say she is a kick-ass guard dog, willing to take on any foe, no matter how formidale! But, she is a very good watch dog, ever vigilant and shows discretion when choosing what to be guardy about.
She is a 2.5 year old Czech bred female....btw.

My male is easier going than my females, my females, Kali & her daughter Ansgar, are tuned into everything that moves or breathes on the property, & those 2 hang on me like they were my shadow. I wave my arm, Kali goes out to check whatever I gestured at. She's my right hand dog. Ansgar watches my back. Beckett, he'd let anyone walk right up to me, or the vehicle, or on the property.....but if they try to touch me, or anything else-that's when he suddenly gets really serious. You might not even notice him sleeping next to me, but when you get within about 8 feet, look out! You're in for a surprise. Kali lets you know the minute you set foot in the driveway. Or look at me on the street, or brush by the car; she gives plenty of warning. Ansgar barks at everything right now, she lacks the mental maturity to distinguish a nuisance from a threat. It'll come in time & with work. Kali is more dominant than Beckett, but Beckett tries to control who comes & goes in & out of the house. Kali doesn't care if we leave, just take her along. I'm quite sure Kali would bite, given the provocation....Beckett? I'm not sure....maybe. And Lil' Bit??? Right now she's in the doghouse!!! She's so friendly........but today she's been just about as naughty as they come. So, males versus female, different, but both good? jackie harris
