Looking after your Dog

Going on Appearances

Going on Appearances

A Dog’s behavior is influenced by its Sex and genetic back-ground. The male puppy is masculine from birth because the development of his brain is affected by the sex hormone testosterone which he produces while stilin the womb. Under this hormonal influence he grows bigger, stronger, and more assertive than his female littermates. The female does not experience hormonal influence on behaviors until her first season, usually when she is six or seven months old. Mutations in colours are also related to variations in behaviors in many canine species, including foxes and wolves. Selective breeding has exaggerated, and the colour of a dog’s coat can partly predict its behaviours.
