@jmcduff:
I have been wondering….
Are male dogs physically stronger than bitches? In us humans, the male muscle mass is denser and stronger than females and I was curious if this is the same in the dog world?
Another question is...
If a dog is in the house when puppies are born, is it typical to keep the dog separated from the puppies? A co-worker has brittany's and his bitch is expecting and he told me he has to keep the male away once the puppies are born because the dog might kill the puppies.
I was just curious.
I can't speak to the dog/puppies thing, but BOTH our Basenjis are incredibly strong, but Keoki has way more power behind him than Jazzy.
He is taller and leaner than she. She probably looks stronger because she is a bit stockier. But, as we learned when visiting my mom in cattle country a few weeks back, even dh can barely hold Keoki on leash when he sees cows, LOL. Jazzy is far easier to control. I can't say it's because a male vs female thing though.
