Should you get a male or female dog as a pet? This is an important question to consider when choosing a new pup. Many people have a preference for one gender over the other. However, does the dog's sex really make a big difference once it has been neutered or spayed? Lets take look at the comparison between male and female dogs.
People often ask us whether they should choose a male or female puppy, or if there's a real difference. It truly depends on the individual dog. Not all dogs act like the typical boy or girl dog. But we can give you a general idea of what to expect. We have both male and female dogs, I've seen both female and male dogs hump. Whether or not a dog is fixed greatly affects their behavior; spaying or neutering can help manage unwanted behaviors. This comparison is between fixed male and females.
There’s a saying that female dogs love you and that male dogs are in love with you. But the validity of this depends entirely on the individual dog; you will definitely find some female dogs that are more affectionate than some males.
Generally, male dogs show more love and want to be around people more than female dogs. They really want attention and love to cuddle and play all day long. Also, male dogs are usually very protective of their families and very loyal. Male Cockapoos are always happy to see you and will definitely follow your kids around. They love to play and cuddle as much as possible. Male Cockapoos are known to be easier to train than female Cockapoos. Usually, they learn to go to the bathroom outside faster. Male Cockapoos tend to listen better and want to make you happy. They are easy to train because they are happy and listen well.
Female dogs are usually more self-sufficient and need less attention, but they still like affection. People often think females are more caring, but this differs between dogs and breeds. Females might also pay more attention to their owners. These cute dogs are fun and good with children. Female cockapoos become adults quicker than males. Like people, female cockapoos are known to mature faster. A female Cockapoo's independence can make them stubborn and bossy, needing firm training. If a female Cockapoo isn't interested in listening, it's hard to get her to do anything. Female Cockapoos often pick a favorite person in the family. This can be a problem if many kids want the dog's attention.
But what about behaviors that are often seen as gendered, such as marking or humping? “I think a lot of people approach wanting a female as a pet because they have an old bias that males hump and males mark. And that’s simply not true,” says Freni. “These behaviors are training issues, not sex-specific issues … females are just as likely to mark or hump as their male counterparts are.”
Males
Females
Experts say that whether a puppy is male or female shouldn't matter when you choose one. Getting them fixed early can stop the bad behaviors that unfixed dogs often have. But, if your Cockapoo is fixed, males and females are very similar. Both male and female Cockapoos are clever, friendly, and known to be loving, making them wonderful family pets.
In the end, there's no best choice between male and female Cockapoos. What's important is finding one that suits your life and family!
