| THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MALE OF FEMALE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG |
 |
| This is the second most asked question that we encounter as
breeders. Choosing between a male or female dog is strictly a matter
of preference. From our experience, I will say that males are more
protective of their surrounding area, while females are more
protective of their family (your family).

| GERMAN SHEPHERD MALE |
| |
- Generally, the German shepherd male is larger in size and
more masculine in structure.
- The size and the masculinity of the male, most often is
intimidating to strangers.
- German shepherd males are generally more territorial of
their location. The marking of the territory can be a problem.
How-ever, if trained properly, the problem can be controlled.
- Neutering may help lighten this problem.
- German shepherd males are also larger in size and bulk. They
will go further to explore their territory when scent of female
in heat is near.
|
| GERMAN SHEPHERD FEMALE |
| |
- The female German shepherd should be smaller in size and
feminine in structure. You should be able to recognize her
gender from distance.
- The female may be smaller in size, but the size can be of
advantage in her working ability.
- Female German shepherd have the "pack" instinct. They will
be protective of their family more so then males. This instinct
will sometimes cause her to be jealous among the other dogs in
the household.
- If the female German shepherd is not intended for breeding,
she should be spayed.
