Is it true that female dogs get on better with men and vice versa?

Hi everyone,

I'm soon going to be getting a little Cavalier puppy and the breeder told me that females get on better with men and that males get on better with women. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks everyone!!! I haven't quite made up my mind yet, I’m thinking of getting a girl but I’m still in two minds.

    It’s true, I’ve always been told that females are more cuddly than males, and I found that to be the case with a friend’s dog. My boy isn’t like that at all, but oh well, that’s just how it is.

    I've got both male and female dogs, and they like whoever feeds them and whoever takes them out. It all depends on the owner's reactions, so they go to my husband just as much as they do to me—I don't see any difference at all.

    With some dogs you can really see their preference, the females for the man of the house and the males for the lady of the house. My boys are perhaps closer to me, it’s true, but as I’m the only one who looks after them it doesn’t really count. Even with the cats, mine definitely have a preference for me.

    It really depends on the dog :)

    The male Yorkie at my parents' has always loved me more than anything, but with my female Chihuahua, I've noticed she prefers men lol! Even though she still follows me around and loves me just as much.

    But as soon as her human Dad is there, she absolutely loooves being on his lap.

    That’s not really been proven... I’ve had both and they mostly gravitate towards whoever looks after them the most. A female is a bit more cuddly than a male....

    My girl is usually the opposite, actually – even if they are women, she sometimes just doesn’t like them...

    I’ve got a little 16-month-old Shih Tzu. It’s true that she really loves everyone, women included, but she is very cuddly with men. It’s subtle, but you can definitely tell; it’s not that she loves them more as such, but there’s a bit of a preference there. She’s just like a little girl with her daddy.
