To be honest, this is one of those questions where there isn't a black-and-white answer.

The idea that female dogs always get on better with males (or vice versa) is more of a myth than a hard and fast rule. It depends much more on temperament, socialisation, upbringing and the dog's previous experiences than their sex. Some pairings click straight away, others don't — regardless of whether they're male or female.

What usually helps is a calm introduction on neutral ground and watching closely to see how the dogs read each other's body language. Dogs are often much more honest about these things than people expect.

In short: it's not sex that determines the relationship, but personality.

    Hi there,

    When it comes to dog behaviour, sex is usually less of a deciding factor than temperament, socialisation, and a dog's individual life experiences. You can find excellent pairings just as often as clashes between two males, two females, or dogs of the opposite sex. Introductions on neutral ground, kept calm and supervised, remain the best way to gauge how they will get on living together.

    Kind regards,

    Romane
