Dear Reader,
Your New German Shepherd Puppy – A Male or Female?
Are you looking to get a new German Shepherd? A puppy, or adopted dog? Are you wondering if it is better to get a male or a female dog? Well, according to the professionals, both are equally wonderful. Neither is better than the other. German Shepherds regardless of male or female are very loyal, willing to be trained, and, they make great family pets. And, even though German Shepherds are great “guard” dogs, they are not of an aggressive nature. But, there are still differences between the two.
The male dog is usually stronger, and bigger in structure, more masculine. This means he will be looking a bit more intimidating than it’s female counterpart. A mature male Shepherd can easily outweigh a female by as much as 30 pounds. And, 30 pounds on a dog is a lot of structure.
Male dogs can be more protective and more territorial than a female. They will do what all male dogs do, mark their territory. Female German Shepherds can be more protective of their families. This could make them jealous of other pets in the household, especially of a relationship between you and the other pets. That is why, training your dog is of top priority.
Female German Shepherds will be a little more streamlined, more feminine. This becomes quite noticeable.
If you do not use your dog for breeding, they should be neutered, for their sake and yours. Neutered dogs are easier to handle, and have less problems connected to their gender.
What gender you get, doesn’t really matter as long as you are ready and willing to train your dog. Or, you may have specific reasons to get a specific gender.
If you are adopting, which I pray you do, then you may not have a choice. But, on the other hand, you will get the dog of your heart.
