Females find some other way to get you to pay attention, like doing cartwheels off the furniture or stealing trash from out of the can. Males use their body to get what they want - females use their minds. Most of the problem dogs in rescue are females. We have a lot of dominance problems with males but they are often far worse in intensity in the females. If I get a call about a Border Collie that is growling at the kids or tearing up the yard, it's most often a male.
Complicated minds produce far more complicated problems.
If you can't guess by now which is my favorite sex - it should be obvious. I currently own 4 Border Collies - all female, and I wouldn't have it any other way. What guy doesn't enjoy a good challenge, even if he's hopeless overmatched. Page last updated June 4, 1997.
