Thread: An interesting one-liner...

My two dogs(male of course) think I am the boss.(if only the wife did too ) I feed them walk them run them play with them growl at them and if need be boot them up the Arse.

They are definitely more protective of the wife and even more so our children.

Make of that what you will

It's easy, dogs will always protect what they perceive are below them in the pecking order... If the "Boss" is attacked, they will often join in dethroning them. Puppies, kids, and anyone perceived as below them in the hierarchy will be well defended by them.... Leaders rarely so.

I know it sounds terribly sexists aye... it's not intended to be... because we are really talking about the dog world, not the human world.. they don;t get all bent out of shape over such things like over thinking humans do..

Females are much better nurturers than males, they are better nest builders and better at caring for young. Males are usually better protectors, and invariably have the lead role in a group situation. Dogs may be unable to perceive that in humans except, they do perceive nurturing as opposed to bossing... when they do they tend to take the lead role. There are exceptions of course, some awesome female handlers, but by and large they the exception.... it's just about identifying roles etc. You can respect one sex has better abilities at certain roles that the other does without relegating one to being less than the other.

Women, by virtue of them being nicer creatures than men, are not as adept at the leadership role. Sorry if it pisses you off... anyone... it's just the reality in my world, but I only deal with a hundred or so handlers a year, it makes it hard to get a handle on it..
