In general there is a strong tendency for male dog to be the ones to show a greater dominance towards their owners and as well as aggression towards other dogs.
Generally, females are more easily housebroken as well as perform better at dog obedience training than male dogs. This division follows the pattern that could be anticipated from the male dog's role in the hierarchical structure of their ancestor's packs.
Studies have shown that that males dogs have a greater tendency also to be more destructive and also children are at a greater risk of getting bitten by male dogs than the female counterparts.
The males also appear to be at greater risk of getting lost as they tend to wander out and explore uncharted territories more than female dogs. If you're getting yourself a male dog, be prepared for a tougher time housebreaking your dog as he will tend to urine mark your house as males are territorial in that way.
They will also be more likely to mount and show aggression to visitors as well as other dogs. Generally they will investigate your female visitors by directly sniffing them.
A few studies have shown different responses towards handlers - while female dogs don't appear to show any particular preference, it seems that male dogs may go to female handlers more readily than they do to men.
By the age of 12 weeks, puppies would have begun to become explorers. At the same time, their distress vocal calls have noticeably reduced, a combination that has a survival advantage. It is during this juvenile period that the distinctive male cocking of the leg to urinate emerges, although there is a big difference between individuals as to when this happens first.
This development is partly genetic, but also depends on individual circumstances: as this style of urination is associated with scent marking in adults, rank can have an effect, and cocking of the leg can appear later in lower-ranked dogs. The onset of puberty varies with both the breed and the sex of the dog. Males of round 4 months old begin to become interested in females in heat, but a full intro-mission that could lead to fertile mating only starts at about 7 to 8 months.
Before a bitch's first seasons she will show no particular interest in male dogs in any sexual way; however once she comes into season, males become attracted to her, and she then shows a responsive interest in them. From day 10 of her first season a mating can occur as she has become receptive.
