Thanks miran,

On another thread, I read it might me a gender difference that females are more independent than the males generally? Is this true?

For me-only male. Why? When they are adult and have some ideas to beat another dog, males are doing the theatre. They stays, "getting bigger", kill by eyes the enemy- you have a lot of time to come and stop. As I saw the females-they are starting in one second, without signals... it's very hard to stop them.
Wolfdog -male must show, how he is big, strong etc, he always has a time for the show
If our male feels stronger than other dog- he doesn't want to do nothing. Good male is always nice for puppies and young dogs (till 10 month), for females-even histerical - "peace force"
For me-it's much easier with good male than female

How nice that somebody ask this question its also interesting for me, the differences between male and female in relation to their susceptibility to training, level of aggression and obedience.
Gaga, I heard that females are easier to handle. If you are the beginner and your CsV is you first, breeder always suggest to take female I don't know is it true, I don't have Csv. On the other hand, based on these few dogshows I was, if the owner had the problem with the dog (for example dog didn't tolerate other dogs), it was always with females ok maybe coincidence. But it seems that males are more often "good boys" ? maybe somobody who has both, male and female, can make this comparison, and share with his/ her conclusions?

I always prefered and still prefer females, also for working.
It is true that they don´t fight that often and if they do often harder but this is a question of sozialisation and TRAINING and very much oft the timing and training abilities of the owner.
They are better in reaching their goals in the end but they try it by charming the owner not so often by trying to bully him. And the showing of and urin marking is something that is getting on my nerves in males, females often work more concentrated.
I always found that the constellation of a single woman and a male dog is often difficult because they build up a kind of packleader couple, what gives the male duties that are more difficult to controle by a woman, like territorial aggression against other males, which is a duty of the highest ranking male.

I think it is simply a question of personal taste and abilties of the owner.

That's true Ina

Elentia - "everybody knows" that "females are easier to handle". But I'm not sure :P
All my life I had only females (mix, GSD), I was dreaming about a male. I have it at last Cheitan is 5,5 years old, he is my first wolfdog and I was surprised many times The urin marking it's nothing Many situations of our life. But after some years I decided- no more females. In the first two years the male is a big challenge, he feels like "macho" and you have to show him who is a leader (I don't accept the theory of dominance)- leader of the pack. But if you agree-you have really good comrade. Though other males on the working place, he can work really good, because he does it with you! he mustn't go and fight with other males

Ina wrote very good: "everything is a question of sozialisation and TRAINING", but I saw females and males in the same situations and my opinion is that male is ..better? (ha ha ..for me) .. OK .. easier
OF course- if you feel really good prepared for wolfdog ;P
(I didn't hear about attack of wolfdog -female on her owner, I hear many times about the attack of males, but it's another question, not: male or female)

I'm sure I'd never be able to handle a male physically. Chey is a good boy now, but I remember seeing Gaga lifting a 40+ kg youngster when she was explaining him who the pack leader was.

However strong my girl is, I can still manage her on a plain collar without any "devices"(even when she sees her beloved Bernese in the street. )

Right, I forgot- male is for people mentally strong (not brutal, just strong, controlled, consistent)- then you doesn't need any devices. I'm, so for me it's no problem

What work? You have different works and sport and sometimes female is better, sometimes male is better.
