Sometimes the males require more experience to train. Female Shepherds have a narrower, smaller head. Their body is lighter and less bulky. They tend to be gentle and responsive. They are considered pretty easy to train, however, like with all animals there are exceptions.
Females tend to more obedient than the males and get along better with other dogs.
They usually are more receptive to strangers. However, they want more frequent petting and more attention than the males do. Neutering can reduce the inclination toward possessiveness. Females who aren't spayed can suffer from breast cancer and womb infections. Males who aren't incastrated will sometimes develop anal tumors, testicular cancer, or prostate disorders.
