Masculine or feminine ?

Do you see certain breeds as masculine or feminine ??

I see most breeds as masculine, simply because I have always owned dogs rather than bitches. If we are driving along I will point out a dog to Dave and say 'look at the sweet boy out for his walk', for me it is just habit to refer to dogs as boys. I would try and be more observant if I was talking to their owner though!

Yes!

Just sticking to 'my' breeds for this answer....

I'll be honest, whenever I think of Rotts I picture a nice, strapping male. One with a strong masculine head, beautiful, muscular body and that air about them that just screams power, dignity, strength and intelligence. For me they encapsulate everything that a Rottie stands for. It's not that I don't like the females, it's just the Rottie male for me is the ultimate.

I don't do it with Frenchies though, whenever I picture a Frenchie it's the joyous, bouncy, playful nature that I think of first and foremost.

What about you?

If you see a little Bolognese or a Maltese do you think womans dog ???

Lol probably, but not this woman

I think I think of small dogs, like a maltese as a womans dog, and a girl dog. Whereas Rotties or big strong looking breeds I think are masculine, but wouldnt nesseserily [sp?] think of it as a mans dog...hope that makes sense

lol
Well my mum used always have gsd's my wife had staffs and now we have Boxers so the women in my life dont go down the girlie dog route either ...

Most people assume Pepper is a boy and Gozo and Enzo are girls, I suppose it's because she's bigger than them?

J.

Everyone thinks Milo's a girl

OH is quite happy that i don't go down the 'girly route' i love SBT's, Rottweilers, Dobermans, GSD's, Mastiffs.

I can't ever see myself going out and buying a small fluffy dog because that's just not me.

I have nothing against any breed of dog i think they're all lovely just wouldn't have one myself

Ohh yes some are defo more ladies dogs...
Chinese Cresteds are defo more masculine dogs though!
