As for humping, yeah, female dogs do that as well. In addition, humping is not always a sign of dominant behavior. One of my female Sibes, Lara, does that sometimes during play. Even though she does it in play, it is not a

The short answer is: yes. The personality differences
can
most clearly be seen between
females
and intact (non-neutered)
males
.
Males can
be more
dominant
, territorial, and easily distracted than
female dogs

can
also be seen in unspayed
females
when they are in heat.

One of the biggest misconceptions about dog behavior is that female dogs dont try to hump people, other dogs, or things. However, humping is normal for both male and female dogs. In fact, female dogs can be just as hump-happy as male dogs. Learn more about this odd and annoying behavior here.

Don't get me wrong I do not believe that dogs imagine we are dogs and that we can be the Alpha of our own little pack. We can't, I explain this in my article (1) The Alpha Myth This is from www.reference.com an online encyclopaedia: Dominance in the context of biology and anthropology is the state of having high social status relative to other individuals, who react submissively to dominant ...

Like male dogs, two female dogs also may struggle with dominance issues which can lead to dog aggression. When two dogs of the same gender live in the same household, they will be forced to determine which one should be the alpha and which one should be the beta, or bottom dog.

Dog Mounting is NOT About Sex First, were not talking about sexual behavior displayed by intact male and female dogs used for breeding. High hormone levels and normal sexual responses to other intact dogs are different from problem mounting. are different from problem mounting.

Dogs adore the humans in their lives, regardless of gender. In terms of establishing solid emotional connections with their owners, some female dogs might have better chances with male humans, however. This also sometimes works the other way around, with male dog and female owner relationships.

Like humans, very few dogs are natural born leaders, but you may wind up with a dominant dog that would normally take the lead position in the pack. If you are not the Pack Leader yourself this can cause problems, as a

"Male dogs tend to be more stable in mood than female dogs less prone to emotional swings. "Male dogs are often bolder and more aggressive than females, although in some breeds it is the female who is 'sharper' and more aggressive while the males might be described as 'goofy,' 'klutzy,' or 'big softies.'"2
