[Dailydrool] Males and Females

[Chris Bly]

I have a rescue so I get a lot of males and females and I must agree I see 
more competition from two females than any of the males, males seem to be 
more laid back and lazy; too busy sleeping to fight, now if treats are being 
given out or I am cleaning out my refrigerator and doling out left overs we 
may have a scuffle among everyone but the females seem to be more aggressive 
than the males hey always win.The males will jsut waddle away rather than 
compete.  I have a little old lady, Daisey Mae she is 14 she basically rules 
the roost around here. She never bites or growls or shows her teeths she 
just sort of turns to the other dogs and shakes her head while cussing them 
out. as she hobbles barely staying upright because her legs give out on her 
and pushes her way through. I have another female JOJO Bear who is a scardy 
cat but whenever a new dog comes here she tries to bully them buy howling at 
them when they are near her but after two days they realize she is all howl 
and no action, she is around 12 yrs old, then I have a female Molly who I 
just got last May from the pound she  sometimes stands over the food bowls 
and growls at everyone till we tell her NO!! then she walks away. I have one 
dominent female Looney who guards only our bed. She is fine out with the 
group but if another dog walks near our bed while she is on it she acts like 
she is going to tear their head off but she will not get off the bed to get 
them and since they are on the floor they just keep walking by and ignore 
her. I have one young female mix puppy Stinkypeet she is just a goof ball 
right now but she thinks it is her job to get everyone barking when she 
hears a noise outside. I only have three males right now Buster is a 
chicken, he is afraid of his own shadow, Jack a Basset lab mix that is 104 
lbs solid Black Dog he keeps our house from being broken into but he stays 
away from the others as to avoid any problems he is a chicken too. Then I 
have Charlie, he is so beautiful he has the longest widest ears and the 
perfect markings of a Basset Boy, he has a little more testosterone than any 
nuetered male I have ever known, he marks when I get new males just to let 
them know he is the MAN he guards his daddy some but he is a chicken too if 
a female confronts him he runs. I never see the males bother one another 
they just meander around looking for their own space, the females though 
they are all vying for top dog, I always say they call female dogs bitches 
for a reason. LOL
