MALE VS. FEMALE FRENCH BULLDOG: WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?

by Itsy Bitsy Frenchies | Aug 13, 2019 | French Bulldog Care, French Bulldog
Facts

So you’ve finally made the decision to adopt a French Bulldog, but where do you
begin? How do you go about picking out the perfect puppy?



With so many breeders to choose from, you’ll first want to be sure that you are
adopting your dog from a reputable breeder.  Before choosing a puppy, make sure
that you









are aware of any health problems that the parents of your new pup may have
suffered from. You’ll want to obtain any health cards or papers if applicable.



Once you’ve narrowed down your list of worthy breeders, it’s time to check out
the pups themselves. At this stage, you might be surprised to find out just how
much variety exists within the breed. For instance, French Bulldogs come in a
wide range of coat colors including various types of brindle coats, fawn, cream,
pied, and black. Additionally, when picking out a new puppy you may be unsure if
you should adopt a female or male French Bulldog. This is a decision that any
new dog owner may struggle with.



So how do you decide between a male and female puppy? Are there really any
differences between male and female French Bulldogs in the first place?



The truth is that there are some differences between the two sexes. Female
French Bulldogs can differ from their male counterparts in many ways. The two
sexes differ not only in physical characteristics, but also in their
temperaments.



To help you decide if a male or female French Bulldog puppy is right for you, we
have highlighted some common differences between the sexes as well as some of
the pros and cons of each.





 






COMPARING TEMPERAMENTS BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE FRENCH BULLDOGS





 



First, male and female dogs do have some very basic differences and tendencies
in temperaments. In general, male dogs tend to have more stable moods than
females and are less prone to mood swings. Male dogs may also be bolder and more
aggressive. On the other hand, in some breeds, female dogs may be seen as
“brighter.” Despite their mood swings, many dog owners tend to believe that
females are “sweeter.” While this may or may not be true, female dogs tend to be
less “in your face” than males.



In addition, because female dogs tend to reach physical and mental maturity
quicker than male dogs, they may also be easier to train. Males dogs also tend
to be more independent, which may  contribute to the difficulty in training
young males.





 






NOW, LET’S LOOK AT SPECIFIC GENDER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE FRENCHIES





 



Within every breed, each dog will still have its own unique personality.
However, there are some differences between male and female personalities in
French Bulldogs. Male frenchies tend to be “rambunctious playful, and assertive”
while females tend to be “a bit more timid, but incredibly more affectionate.”
Additionally, female French Bulldogs are often the more docile of the two and
males take longer to house train (Canna-Pet).









Female French Bulldogs can also be a bit nippier. They are quick to aggression
if pushed beyond their limits and can be “more temperamental in their early
youth” though they tend to outgrow this. Much like female French Bulldogs, males
may display the same behaviors, though they can be corrected with proper
training. Males are usually not as aggressive as females (Canna-Pet).



When choosing between a male and a female Frenchie, be sure to take the
personality traits of both sexes as well as the personality of the individual
into consideration to find the best fit. If you’re looking for an affectionate
lap dog, a female may be a better fit for you. On the other hand, if you’re
looking for a friendly buddy to run around the yard and play with, a male will
probably suit you better.



At the end of the day, keep in mind, that each and every tendacy may not display
itself in your dog regardless of breed or sex as temperament is largely
determined by other factors such as how each dog is raised, how much training
the dog goes through, how they were bred, and genetics.



Overall, both male and female Frenchies tend to be playful, affectionate, and
docile dogs. They are easy to train and very loyal. French Bulldogs are also not
very aggressive by nature, though they do like to nip.





 






ARE MALE OR FEMALE FRENCH BULLDOGS EASIER TO TRAIN? OR ARE BOTH SIMILAR?





 



Overall, some trainers argue that female French Bulldogs tend to be easier to
train than male French Bulldogs because they do not “usually wage a dominance
power struggle over their new owners” (Arlee’s French Bulldogs). Dog trainers
have also noted that the difficulty in training male French Bulldogs may be a
result of their playfulness and dominance. Overall, female and male dogs have
very different learning styles and abilities. Remember that because female dogs
mature at an earlier age, you may find training them to be much easier.



Either way, it will be easier to train both the male and female French Bulldog
if they are spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering your new pet will ensure
that they are less prone to moodiness and aggression (Arlee’s French Bulldogs).
For instance, non-neutered males are often more dominant and high-spirited. They
may try to dominate other small dogs if you have any as well as their owners.





 






ARE THERE ANY PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE FRENCH BULLDOGS?





 



Female and Male French Bulldogs have some obvious physical differences that may
affect your decision to adopt. One of the most obvious differences between the
two is the presence of the genitals. Unneutered males have genitals that are
very plainly visible and may leave some dog owners self conscious or embarrassed
when they lick them or become visibly aroused. The presence of highly visible
genitals in male dogs are one of the major disadvantages for many pet owners
when owning a male dog.  Some dog owners also do not like the fact that male
dogs have a tendency to hump not only furniture, but their owners and house
guests, though females are not immune to this behavior.



On the other hand, the female genitals in French Bulldogs are a lot less
noticeable. However, if you choose to breed your female Frenchie or if she has
previously had a litter of puppies, the nipples will become enlarged and quite
noticeable.





 






IS THERE A MAJOR SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE FRENCHIES?





 



The French Bulldog is a fairly small dog, weighing under thirty pounds. While
there is not a huge size difference between male and female French Bulldogs,
males usually weigh 2-4 pounds more than females. Males usually weigh somewhere
between 20 and 28 pounds while females usually weigh between 16 and 24 pounds.
Overall, male French Bulldogs also “tend to have larger heads and are bigger and
bullier looking” while females tend to be more “petite and slim” (Bay Area
Bulldogs).





 






ONE MAJOR DISADVANTAGE OF OWNING A FEMALE FRENCHIE:





 



If you chose to adopt a female Frenchie AND choose not to have her spayed, one
obvious disadvantage is the fact that your French Bulldog female will be in
seasonal heat twice a year. Seasonal heat lasts approximately two to three
weeks.



When your dog is in heat, she may need to wear a dog diaper or you will find
blood and discharge on your couches, beds, carpets, and other soft surfaces in
your house. Being in heat can also lead to behavioral changes such as moodiness.



Females in heat can also attract males. To keep your female dog from breeding,
you will have to keep her isolated from males or keep her locked up inside your
home.  Seasonal heats can also cause your female Frenchie to become more
aggressive and can lead to undesirable behaviors such as humping.









If you do decide to spay your female Frenchie, keep in mind that this means that
you will be unable to enter her in any



shows. If you won’t be showing your dog, spay her early. Experts say that the
best time to have a female spayed is between the ages of six to nine months.



Spaying your dog “has been shown to lower the risk of ovarian or uterine
diseases” and may have positive effects on your dog’s behavior. Many female dogs
have better temperaments after they have been spayed and will show less
aggression. Of course, the biggest benefit to having your dog spayed is that you
can avoid any accidental or unwanted pregnancies.





 






WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOU?





 



Of course, neither sex is “better” than the other. They both have unique
characteristics and their own set of pros and cons. Overall, the decision to
adopt a female or male puppy is entirely up to the new owner and his or her own
unique wants and needs.
