If you are going to own a dog, the sex of dog you choose will be an important factor. Males tend to be more aggressive than females towards their handlers and also during encounters with dogs in your neighborhood.

If you want an easier time with training a dog, consider getting a female rather than a male as they are generally a lot more obedient. All animals in nature are the same - males are the dominant species and will definitely show more aggression, this cannot be avoided.

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.

It is in the instincts of male dogs to wander off from your home. In the wild, dogs are vagabonds and do not call any place their home. Males will usually roam around looking for food and shelter. Controlling a new male dog to not urine mark the corners and walls of your home can take some time. This trait belongs to male dogs - urine marking is the way in which male dogs mark their territories.

Sometimes owning a male dog can be quite embarrassing, especially when visitors come over to your house. Male dogs are known to be more aggressive towards visitors and are also renown for humping or sniffing the lower regions of your lady friends.

According to research, the dogs tend to be more affectionate towards their handlers if they were the opposite sex. The studies have shown that female dogs tend to react more favorably towards their male handlers.

Males tend to start urine marking their territories at a fairy young age. Once a puppy reaches adolescence (which takes about 3 months), they will begin to lift up one of their legs to mark locations like wall corners, couches or lamp posts if you’re taking them out for walks. They will also yelp a lot less by this time as it is an inbuilt mechanism for survival so they do not attract larger predators. In addition they will also turn extremely curious and begin wandering around so you will need to keep a sharp eye on them.

Dogs urine mark to leave their scent trail to let other dogs in the area know of their presence, especially the female dogs. The scent marks the boundary of its territory and basically warns intruders that if they cross that line, there will be trouble. While females also drop their scent marks, it happens much less often and is designed to let the males know how receptive she is to mating. The mating seasons for a female dog usually only begins 8 months after birth.

A female will only pique her interest in male dogs after she reaches her first season for breeding, and will not show any signs of interest or attraction prior to that. Female dogs will remain in puberty for about seven to ten months, while really large breeds of dog will only reach that point after two years.
