Female vs Male GSD - Page 1

Hihi everyone. I've started saving for a dog in the next year, I'm trying to learn as much is possible via the world wide web.

And I was wondering whether I could start a photo and talk discusson on males vs females, I've only ever been around males so my idea of the GSD is to be big and muscular, but now I'm looking at top grade females and they seem to me to be very petite and well femine looking.

What is the difference that you would like to see in your dogs?

Start yapping away!

Hi Escobar,

whilst I was reluctant to answer, and to be honest your name did not help, I will spout it out.

A female GSD should be easily seen, versus a male GSD. Meanwhile within the breed, it seems the bigger and the more masculin they come, the higher placings they achieve. For me, thats a NO NO. I believe an saying, that goes as follows: It takes two to tango !! A female should be easy to be hold apart from a male.

More important for you should be, what kind of training you would put into your prospect, what porpose your dog should serve. Even more, how much of devotion you want to put in your dog. A GSD, regardles of workinglines or showlines, will only develop o the scale that YOU are involved with the dog and its training. BUT, and here, I am very strict, if you choose a breeding out of respected, titeld parents your cahnces of getting what you want increase.

Hope this helped a little.

Regards Ulli

Haha what's wrong with my name ? :)

What do you want to do with your dog, breed, work, show, pet.....?

there is a rather famous dog with the name of escobar....

I've previously had male GSDs.

Xena is my first bitch, and to be honest, I'd be reluctant to go back to a male.  She's 19 month old now and is far from dainty and fragile.

Have a look;

Some people belive that females have more fight in them, whatever they lack in size they make up in heart.

BTW, I belive in that.

Xena is one nice looking gyp 

I have a 2 yr old female. Strong, athletic, lives to please, balanced drives, full calm grips and loves the fight!!

She works better then the males in PP class and @ 74lbs, she is easier for me to handle then a 90lb male.

Her heat cycle is a downer with all the shedding (thnx god for the furminator) and it puts a damper on classes. I just cant bring myself to use a doggie dyper on her.....lol.....

It boils down to what your preference is.

A female will prove to be more of an asset than a male for many reason's.

Mainly if you have a female and you think she is breed worthy you have breeding option's.

I don't see many difference's in the sex's except appearance, they both can be capable of great thing's.

I have both, there are difference's, but I can't put them into word's.

Not sure what your looking for anyway.

I've had males and females and I like them both. The females are a little smaller and a little easier to handle than a male. The heat cycle has to be dealt with, mainly you can't take them anywhere and your males, if you have any, will drive you nuts while she's in heat. I think the females are a bit moody sometimes but the upside is they are more likely to be sensitive to you. With a male, what you see is what you get.  Sounds sexist, but it's true.
