Female dogs tend to be a little more independent than male dogs and mostly aren’t so demanding of attention. They love a big cuddle as much as any other male dog, but they tend to take themselves away when they want a bit of downtime. Some people choose a female dog over a male dog if they have children, because it is often thought that female dogs are naturally more gentle with and protective of young ones. Their protective, maternal instincts mean they will come to look upon your young kids as oversized pups, making them a great choice for families. Male dogs are most often more affectionate and thrive on human fuss, they're usually less likely to separate themselves from the attention and will take any bit of love you can give them. Male can see children more like playmates rather than their children and so can be a little boisterous at times. Female dogs are almost untrainable during the times when they're in heat. Generally, female dogs tend to be more responsive to training and are often less prone to wandering off.
