corvus Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 People are constantly confusing Kivi for a girl. It doesn't help that you can't actually see his bits. He's got a pretty male look to his head and shoulders these days, but he totally acts like a girl. "I need a cuddle. Erik's being mean to me. Eeeww, water! I loves my toys." Plus he kisses Erik on the top of the head. I kid you not. Erik is a boy through and through. But he's still quite young and puppyish. My mum has a little Vallhund we all call a man dog. He tends to strut, amble, and when he says he wants Jill's meal he expects her to let him have it! He has a self-contained air to him that just seems very male.

Sam&Saki Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) I think my Saki is a beautiful, ladylike little girl - no idea why everyone else refers to her as a "him" and tells me she's "so handsome"!

CBL Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 My two are typical of a lot of greyhounds - male is a sooky la la and hides behind me a lot of the time - female is a pain in the ar$e, a bossy cow, and we don't call her Satan's Sister for nothing! Patch is very much a sooky greyhound boy, but Lilly is just not what I thought a bitch would be. She's extremely affectionate (too much at times), sweet and a bundle of fun - and she also has to be with you all the time. If I go out to put washing on the line she has to come along. She does have her 'bitch' moments with Oscar - she won't share a toy whereas Patch will play tug of war with Oscar all the time but she will tell Oscar off if he tries to play like that with her. Oscar gets called a girl all the time (and he can be a little wuss). One obedience instructor constantly referred to Oscar as 'she', I would have thought the name alone would have been an indicator :dunno: I guess being little and prancy he could be mistaken for a girl.

rastus_froggy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Froggy my tan staffy girl ALWAYS gets called a boy, she plays rough and marks her territory, the only girly thing about her is the way she wraps her front legs around my neck and hugs me when I get down on my knees. Stimpy is very delicate and girly, Chevy is just a big boofer boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornliegirl Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Everone thinks Chester is a girl.... until they get him exited and he starts trying to 'have his way' with their leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 One of my male greyhounds, Ryan, is on the small size, and is very 'pretty' looking and people always think he is a girl. He also has a very soft, gentle and friendly nature. He often gets bossed around by foster dogs, and if anyone is going to get 'humped' it is poor Ryan. Sometimes I wonder if it is possible for a dog to be gay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvMyCav Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yep, China is a bitch - through and through. Her daughter is a cow so does this count Well, that sounds as though your 'girl's have got the female attributes covered! Are there any 'bitches' out there who are loving and nurturing - as all good women should be? Yes, my Leah is like that. She's the biggest snuggler and the sweetest girl - she'd love to be cuddled all day. She's been a mum a couple of times and according to her breeder, was really good at it, which I can just imagine.

My sweet little girl is a proper dragon if she's got a more submissive bitch to boss around. Edited January 29, 2010 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single mean bone! Plus when she was down at the breeders, her best buddy was her litter sister! Mind you Bitty is a right pest! A b*tch she is not but a pest she definitely is!

gila Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 No. Poor Spencer is always being mistaken for a girl He wears a black studded collar to make him appear a bit more macho, but alas, the girl comments continue. I suppose he does act like a bit of a lady sometimes. A classic example is when the trainer that taught our class at the dog club was leaving. Someone in the class made a cake for the dogs. It was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing and liver sprinkles. All of the dogs got a piece, and of course they all hoovered their cake in about two seconds. I remember laughing at a dobermann with icing all over his face. And then someone says, "haha look at Spencer!". I look down to see my boy carefully licking off the icing and delicately nibbling his piece of cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfa Dog Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 My boy is nothing like me- lumbering, running into things and not stopping to check the damage, reckless behaviour, but a total mummy's boy I have only ever had male dogs and have often wondered what it would be like to have a female dog.. maybe i'll try it one day!!

flycow Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Diva is my third dog, my BIL have another three who live with us from time to time. They are/were all male except Diva and based on observation, I find her the most emotional. She has her moods and shows it with a lot of facial expressions and body language, not forgetting the whinges. None of the other boys was moody.
