Anatomical differences

anatomical differences can be the most evident between dogs males and females, it is only necessary to set minimally to the animal.

Females obviously have a different reproductive tract, which externally can be seen by the presence of vulva and breast, in addition, weigh and measure less than male dogs.

Males possess a penis and testicles as part of their reproductive system (the urethra so it also changes slightly its anatomic position), a common question is whether male dogs have breasts, and Yes, although they obviously have no reproductive function and are seen not as developed as in the females. Males have a greater height and greater weight, being more corpulent, although the difference in weight and height becomes more or less evident depending on race.



Oestrus in females and males

another aspect of great importance to take into account when we talk about the differences between dogs and bitches is the zeal or reproductive cycle.

Females
of estrus in bitches must know that it occurs in semiannual way, every 6 months. In this cycle, we can see a period in which the female develops a great receptivity to be mounted by a male, and if we don't want our dog to play, we must then take extra precautions and surveillance.

Every 6 months we also observed a very different phase in their zeal, which is the phase of menstruation, which indicates that our dog will have bleeding for approximately 14 days. After the menstruation of the females, the body of these is with high levels of progesterone, which can induce the known psychological pregnancy.

Psychological pregnancy the dog can manifest different symptoms: it is nervous, adopts and protects various objects as if they were puppies, seeks to be in isolated places and even can observe that your abdomen is relaxed and your breasts are swollen, even to be able to secrete milk.

Male
zeal of male dogs is very different, since they are in heat all year, making that at any time they can escape to find a female who is receptive. Males show continuously a mating behavior (can end up riding an infinite number of objects) which occasionally is accompanied by certain aggressiveness.

Both sexes
ExpertoAnimal always recommends reviewing the advantages of spaying a dog to avoid changes of behavior, anxiety, or the onset of some diseases. In addition it is also a practice responsible for preventing a possible unwanted pregnancy. Get informed!


Coexistence with other dogs

If we want to welcome a dog into our home but we have another dog at home, then sex takes on a special importance, especially if dogs are not castrated.

When put together examples of opposite-sex not neutered you will find a problem is that the male will try to mount the female all the time. In this case will be essential sterilization as the female can become hostile if you want not to be mounted or vice versa if the female leaves the male copulating.
Remembers the number of dogs which are abandoned every day in the world, do not contribute to that a puppy can end up in a kennel.
Join two males or two females not castrated also can be a problem sometimes because they can compete for the same female or male, they can be territorial, perhaps not fall well etc.
Finally attach to any dog with another being castrated avoids suffering think of aggression between them possible pregnancy etc. However, sometimes (and if they are both adults) conflicts can arise. So the best thing is to go to a shelter with our dog and check what attitude shows that pretend to take.
Remember that dogs are pack animals, they like to live in group, that is why if you are planning to adopt another dog goes to a shelter where you will find friends who will thank you for all your life you've rescued them.

Choosing the sex of a responsible

as we mentioned at the beginning of this article, the dog is an exceptional pet, regardless of their gender, however, must be fully accountable for with our election.

This means that if we welcome a male dog we must be consistent with sexual behavior that this may show, and we need to know that the sterilization of the dog can be a very advisable option in some cases.

On the other hand, if we welcome a female we are responsible for reproduction. If we decide to have offspring, we must take into account as a priority the future of these puppies, tell us enough about the pregnancy in the bitch and be prepared to meet their delivery. On the contrary, if we want to play we must opt for sterilization either exercise extreme vigilance to prevent any dog to ride it.

Doesn't matter so much choose a dog male or female, since it's a choice entirely subjective, if not be aware at all times of what is the responsibility that we are accepting.
