Are female or male labradors better

The only difference between the genders is that males are somewhat larger than females and males have a thicker coat. But for Labrador this is not the case.

In the behavior classes the girls will top the score.

Are female or male labradors better. Generally there is a tendency to differentiate male dogs from females from a character point of view. But for Labrador this is not the case. On the contrary the Male Labrador will present strong similarities with the female Labrador.

The only notable difference but minimal in itself. Labradors are known for their natural build and stamina making perfect hunting buddies. You can train either a male or a female.

It is however evident that a female lab will tend to be easier to train than the males. The reason behind this is that the female Labradors mature faster than the males. The puppy stage is easier when you have a female.

In the behavior classes the girls will top the score. You will find the girl. The short answer is.

The personality differences can most clearly be seen between females and intact non-neutered males. Males can be more dominant territorial and easily distracted than female dogs. On the other hand males can also be more playful active and independent.

Common wisdom suggests that female puppies mature faster than male puppies and therefore they have better attention spans and are easier to train. However it seems highly likely that this is a human projection projecting this characteristic that we see in human children onto dogs. Sizewise female and male Labrador retrievers are comparable with females slightly smaller but both are sturdy muscular and athletic with the male a bit more substantial.

The AKC breed standard is 225-245 inches for males and 215-235 inches for females. Male dogs weigh 65-80 pounds with female Labs 55-70 pounds. Of course many Labs are larger or smaller than the standard.

The main advantage to owning a female Lab is that females generally exhibit fewer of the negative behaviors listed above for males. However females are not without gender-related problems the biggest of which is the estrus cycle. Female Labradors tend to be less excitable and easier to train.

They can however become easily cowed or shy if treated harshly or scolded in a rough or angry tone of voice. Female dogs tend to bond with many people. They may be less protective in general than male dogs however are also easier to socialize with other animals.

One area where more dog breeds do reliably show gender-based appearance differences is in sheer size height and weight. Fully grown male dogs whether neutered or intact are often taller heavier and stockier than their adult female counterparts. This appearance difference is also one of the very few that can start as early as puppyhood.

Our female American Labrador Retrievers are about 15-20 smaller than our male Labs. Many owners prefer this because they want a more compact dog that will fit into cars offices or smaller homes. Female Labs also tend to have narrower.

May 10 2011 Messages. Part 14 in our puppy search series over on The Happy Puppy Site. Should I chose a male or a female puppy Which do you prefer.

PippalabforumHQ May 27 2015. Its not that the females arent sweet or personable but the males are just so loving and always want to be with you. Its our professional opinion and weve raised and trained many Labradoodles that as long as you get your Labradoodle spayed or neutered you wont see much of a difference in personality between the males and females.

The only difference between the genders is that males are somewhat larger than females and males have a thicker coat. Unless you are planning on using the dog for hunting neither of those two factors really matter. The females are going to be smaller and easier to control.

Over the years I have observed both sexes in individual and group situations and in home and kennel environments. Based on these observations I woul dlike to share some ideas about male vs. Female Labradors as companions.

First on the distaff side I have found the bitches to be more independent. They can be and often are very affectionate. But it is usually on their terms.

Labradors are very sociable dogs. And they are brilliant family pets. So at some point in their lives many Labrador owners will consider getting a second dog.

These are all good reasons to go ahead. If you tick all these boxes the chances are you may be ready to take the plunge. Your current dog is between two and six years old.

Female labs are also cuddley easy going and friendly but in comparison to the male labs they are a bit independent and not as goofy. Well bred labs of either sex would make a wonderful pet though. They both have awesome temperaments.

I really didnt have a preference. There was only 1 female in litter and she was already spoken for. So I had to choose from the boys.

Some like males because they prefer a bigger dog to handle bigger game males of smaller breeds could be capable or retrieving game their smaller female counterparts cannot or tougher conditions stronger males can break cover easier than their female counterparts. Others prefer a female as their smaller size means they take up less space less space in the bed smaller creates in the truck etc and are easier. Male dogs are a bit more difficult to care for at times than females.

For instance they are quite good at performing a disappearing act when a nearby female dog is in heat. This can be dangerous to the dog as well as create problems for you. Many male dogs have been injured or even killed when escaping their homes to search for a female in heat.
