Is it true that a dog's character depends on its gender: a dog expert dispelled a popular myth

There is an opinion that those wishing to acquire a calm dog should not choose males.

All because they are not so obedient, are less trainable and difficult to teach. However, this is another misconception, although a very popular one.

A future dog breeder needs to understand that all dogs are individuals, and focusing only on the gender of the pet can lead to disappointment, RIA Novosti writes, citing Vladimir Golubev, head of the Russian Cynological Federation.

The right thing to do in this case would be to ignore the dog’s gender and focus on studying the characteristics of the breed, its character, and temperament.

Moreover, puppies born in the same litter can differ from each other very significantly.

It is quite possible that the male will be calm.

Having chosen a “girl” on the advice of others, the dog breeder may ultimately be unable to cope with her hyperactivity, which he did not notice in time.

In this case, only an experienced specialist can help you cope with the dog.
