Jenny Ostendorf I was gonna say, I think my dog’s defective because he’s very easygoing in every sense. We’re not very controlling with him tho. He’s more attached and will listen to me (I’m an actual woman, lol). Dad’s retired Spec Ops, so I don’t think he cares for that.🤣
Dita Von Cheese!! My current male is almost a’150# LAP DOG’ he is very mellow & EASY GOING, too:))!! Hope you enjoy your guy!! Sounds like ‘a keeper’🐾🐾🐾✌️💙
2:59 Do you see how she layed her head on his arm and just looked at him. How sweet!!! 🥰👏🏼☺️ German Shepherds are amazing and beautiful dogs (including Lucy)!!
@@SomethingIgg Go home kid you don't know what right from wrong is. I've owned all types of dogs. Both male and female. Males are generally property protector but female dogs are protective of their owners and kids!
Hands down a female german shepard. I am not an expert but i have 19 yrs of hands on experience with both male and female of 7 different breeds - saint bernard, dalmatian, retriever, husky, malmute, pomerians and bulldogs. If u want a four legged pet go for a gsd or retreiver. If u want a four legged family member female german shepard are the best choice. Currently we have 2 and i don't even consider them dogs/animals/pets. They are my sisters.
My male long haired see very easy going. He's been with 2 families before us and before we bought him from his previous owner we met him at the park to see how things went and he took to us right away. I've heard long haireds are family dogs anyways so that might explain it. He loves people in general though and pretty much fell in love with my dad's girlfriend the second he met her lol. He's also very affectionate, needs morning belly rubs before waking up and throughout the day will ask for pets and affection. He's my first purebred GSD
Hey there! I think it is great that you are taking the time to dive into this subject. It is something a lot of people are curious about when picking out their first, or next pooch. My grandmother has been a breeder for the last 10 years and I have recently began helping out, so I have seen quite a few puppies in my lifetime. I would have to say that the overall standard for male vs female characteristics in dogs is that the males are more affectionate, playful, and carefree. In contrast, the females are easier to train, more dominant, and much more relaxed. When I tell people this it tends to surprise them, and I am by no means an expert, but I believe that as humans we tend to have a stereotype that all males in nature should have very similar characteristics to a human male. I am currently looking into getting a german shepherd and was curious what people who own them have to say. Thanks for video! Edit: I also felt like I wanted to say something about how you talked about a male having a very close bond with one person in the family, in particular the “alpha.” I believe this to be true. I currently have 2 female dogs and 1 male and I have noticed a difference in bonds between the genders. My male is very close with me because I am the one who trains all of them and he sleep with me at night and doesn’t leave my side to much. Where as the females tend to spend time with everyone in the house equally.
Hey thank you so much for your great comment. I am by no means an expert either. I was going off my experience bringing up my first gsd pup. You have great knowledge as well and thats amazing having that experience with your grandmother. I 100% agree with the males more having a bond with one person, I experienced this with my dad and his male. Anyways thanks again and I hope you get your pup very soon
I think Shepherds in general will bond differently with all family members, so they'll have a close bond with all, but different. I think the ladies challenge commands more than the males do, in my experience--the ladies exercise their independent judgement. Girls are very active, very vigilant!! Our one male became a lovable couch potato who always did as he was told. However, as a puppy--around 9 months old, Xavier was a terror on 4 paws (ooh, he was nuts! He dug up the yard like a gopher)! But he calmed down around 2 years old. Our ladies were mature by 1.5 years and consistent in their personalities.
Actually females are overall more dominant and territorial, the difference is that females (if socialized, obviously) will only pick a fight if they really have to. Males tend to showcase their strength more, which is why you typically see two males fighting. But they are usually pretty harmless. Females, eventhough they fight less (if you’re lucky your female will never end up in a fight) tend to fight more serious.
Impressive dog.. I’m getting a female puppy soon and I’m hoping I can train her to do what you did near the end with the clicker with a snap of my fingers🤞
I've had 5 German Shepherds, 4 males. My female is more stubborn than any male. Males are so easy going, imo. But only having one female, it's difficult to say.
German Shepherds are not for inexperienced dog owners, have you considered getting another breed to start? Prove yourself with an easy breed-meaning that you can HOUSE TRAIN the dog. This is no small task. You will need to prove you will regularly feed the dog, groom the dog, keep up with vaccinations, spend a lot of time playing and getting the dog socialized? THEN, ask for a big dog, known for being naturally protective, that can literally kill a person. THINK ABOUT THIS. Also, is there a room in your parents home where you can separate the dog? I use my kitchen because there is a dog door to outside.
@@poeticprincee9750 haha I don't know the camera angles or this video my female gsd bit bigger than one here, when I took to park kids freak out as it's huge
I watched a video about how cute a puppy is, but it's so cute and lovely ~ !! It's more like a child with a lot of charm !!! Seeing the video, I think I'll be healed more Every day, I can always watch Daeng Dang's recurrence by my side, so I think the day will be happy and precious I hope that love will become a puppy for many people in the future ~ !! I also grow Welsh Corgi ♥ I like subscription too ~ !! ♥ I'll press and go ~ !! ~ I will communicate and communicate frequently in the future !!! ^^ *
I had both male and female German shepherd. My female was more possessive with other dogs being around me. And females ARE more stubborn. My female gsd was way more stubborn then my male. Lots of people just assume that males are more stubborn because of being more powerful or testosterone. But that's just simply not true. Yes males tend to be more aggressive more protective of female owners but female German shepherds or anything female in general, and people will say I'm sexist but by that logic you can say you're sexist for saying men or males are more aggressive; but females of any species in general are more likely to be stubborn. Sorry. That's a fact. Its literally hard wired in the brain of females. Females are just more hard headed, that's just a fact. Just like males are hard wired to be more dominant and aggressive. My aunt even told me that "boys are more stubborn" I said no females are. She was like "you'll see." And when I got my male gsd I saw that she was wrong. It's ignoring biological facts just like if you were to ignore that females are more nurturing. And I wouldn't say anything about the males if you never even owned a male.
@Darth Traya Yeah there's always exceptions. Never said that. Have you ever had more then one female? I think your ignorant if you ignore biological facts. I've known many people who owned several gsds and say the same thing. Dont fucking assume I'm wrong based on your one dog. Your probably biased because you have a female gsd. Like my aunt that said males always fight, but females too. Infact when I was with her one of them was picking on the other but she refused to acknowledge it. So I could also use your words against you. Stop denying biological facts. I never said all females, but females more less tend to have certain issues males have certain issues. What if someone came up to you and said "I have a male German shepherd amd he is not aggressive at all." Would you automatically change your opinion on one dog? Of course you wouldn't. Because you would still probably believe based on a majority of german shepherd males you'd say that dog was an exception and still hold your belief that males are usually more stubborn. It does also depend on how the dog is raised. Maybe yours friend didn't raise their dog right? Sounds like it If he didn't want to listen and get into everything. Sounds like your ignorant and stupid af if you think I said all females. And yeah you may say it's more the individual but you know genetics can play a role as you say. You know males are more aggressive and protective in general. Because of biology testosterone etc. Youd probably agree females tend to be more nurturing and gentle particular with children. Of course there's exceptions but that doesn't overrun the rule. And females are usually more stubborn because its nature and biology. I never said all females had to be like this. Or all males had to be like that. But you need to generalize based on facts. We all can agree german shepherds are very protective of their owners and are loyal. If we are going to generalize the good things based on facts because german shepherds were bred for these traits, to be alert protective and loyal in order to sheep heard which is what their original purpose was and then later for other things such as police work, guarding etc. You must also take in consideration the cons too based on biological facts. And this not only goes for the breed itself but also certain lineagepersonality. Males tend to be better for certain things because of slight more aggression. Females tend to be more docile with kids because of their female instinct. We can't only generalize the good things. If we are to do that we have to generalize the bad things too. The pros with males is they might be more intimidating and aggressive so could be a better guard dog. Or they tend to bond with one person if you want a companion for yourself not your family. The pros of females is they're more docile. Especially with kids or even smaller animals. Except for my female 🤣 but generally females are more docile and nurturing with kids or puppies or smaller animals. But there's also cons to both. And again you can't only generalize the pros. Males tend to be overly protective and and females tend to be more stubborn. They're is always exceptions though, but it doesn't over right the rule. Stop spreading dangerous information based on your feelings. And stop projecting your ignorance onto others. You refuse to ignore biological facts. Based on your one female. Your the one who thinks one exception over rights a rule. And that's not how life works. You should pick which breed, gender, or linniage based on general biological facts. Youd seem like a person who would say "its doesn't matter get whatever you like" a dangerous mindset. Yes people can choose and should choose based on their needs or situation. And need to know the facts. I'm getting a second dog soon, it's going to be female because I have a male. And the same sex tends to fight more male or female. No garentee the same sex will fight but it's more likely so. Am I ignorant because I feel it might be better to get a female in my situation? No. But youd be ignorant for saying its foolish to judge it even if its based on facts. Do some research. Before you ruin lives with "genetics don't matter as much as the individual" They're animals first. Then dog. Then breed. Then individual or personallity. You obviously are one of those that view its mostly personality that rules the dog first. Well I got news. The individual in dogs is not greater than that of humans. Dogs live by genetics and instinct not humans. Look in the mirror l. Your the ignorant one. Because you ignore science and nature and put your feelings over facts. And got offended reading my comment pointing out information that this guy said based on his own feelings and not facts.
@@Lucythegermanshepherd Yeah that's the only thing I thought I should piint out. But yes males are more aggressive, in general. That's why they're better guard dogs. My female was more possessive my male is more protective. He doesn't really like people he doesn't know, my female loved people but not kids lol. She was a rescue so idk her history. either it was she wasn't socialized or had a kid mean to her.
hands down a female first... then a male after she is about 1.5 years then she will help you train your male, trust me a male Shepherd puppy is the dumbest animal on the planet... for 2 years you will want to shoot him every day... but once you pass that ,magic date you will have the best animal besides your female then you will have a amazing pair of shadows trust me after 3 dobermans... I have had 3 males Shepherds and 2 females i love Shepherds
after my neighbor Cindy Shaw Of Knoxville murdered my beautiful white Shepherd I got Milli, a brindle Female she was 1 year old yesterday May 20 2020, my 4 year old male did a find job of training her...
I have a female Malinois Shepherd Mix & she's very protective. Also can be a little stubborn as well lol she's a good 60lbs so not too bad for a female.
I've found the exact opposite to be true. The males I've had have been more eager to please than the females. The females have all had a rebel streak. The only one I have that is somewhat aggressive with other dogs is a female. The males all get along with everyone. I have American and West German Showlines. The males are more intimidating. I used to read translations of German books about the breed that said that the males tend be easier to handle and get along better with other dogs. If you think about it, in a wolf pack, only one female gets to breed (in most cases). If another female has puppies, the more dominant female kill those of the less dominant female. They have this whole thing called social suppression of estrus, so a female would be required to be much more plucky to survive and pass on her genes.
Hey that sounds really factual and you have a very valid point. I'll have to look into this further and do an update video. This is more based on my personal experience and only owning a female and being involed with friends with male GSDs. Thanks for your great comment
My previous GSD was a rescue from WSGR and extremely alpha. A yr after I rescued her she was attacked by 2 Chi’s - 1 bit her in the muzzle and I was surprised she didn’t hurt it) She became even more aggressive after the attack/ esp towards little dogs. I have an unusual lifestyle-I live, travel and work out of an RV and since I didn’t have a backyard I was always extremely wary about every situation and the possibility of a dog popping out of nowhere, Knowing she was a liability my only recourse was to hire a behaviorist- and I spent a fortune-5K!! But at least she was “ workable “ for the next 10 yrs until she died at the age of 12. Now I have a 100 lb sweetheart that is fear aggressive and was just diagnosed with lymphoma 😢
@@Lucythegermanshepherd same here , my friends have done gsp tracking comes with which they leave it on when they leave , is it really good 👍 or Can u upload a video about home surveillance and dogs comfortability please
We have a 5 month old GSD female, she is still pretty mouthy, but hope she will grow out of it. Her health is really good, and has a clean bill of health from her vet. Thanks for the videos you have. Ours is black and sliver with some tan on her ears. Have a great day.
German shepherds are adorable dogs very loyal,loving caring and amazing champions and beautiful and very smart dogs and their good family dogs and perfect workers
Your dog is sooo cute I’m missing my own German shepherd, her name is Paris she’s only 8 months old but she’s on a 1 month training she should be back on the 5th of September 😩
It would be nice and a lot easier to hear and understand you if you lost the music. It really doesn't add to your presentation at all. Other than that, I truly appreciate what you were doing.
Lucy Lane the Queen of Balmain Is it ok for them to be jumping, because don’t they get some type of bone disease which could shorten their lifespan, German shepherds have really strong legs and it could mess them in the long run if they get too jumpy.
Agree the only thing is that all are different so females can sometimes have a really high drive and large size and males can be sometimes smaller and low drive for example Harley has a very high drive and as you already know very fast haha 😂
My farm house is ,100 yards off a busy farm to market paved road and the last 35 years I've owned both male and female GSD'S, all have gone to doggie heaven of natural causes. So at the moment I have none, but will take either one. Lucy is looking wonderfuly great, stay safe and a a big howdy from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas USA 😊 ❤️
It doesn't matter who you are, your dog, whatever breed it is, should NOT be off the lead/leash when walking it around the streets. This is a very poor example of a dog owner totally ignoring the rules. I've had German Shepherds all my life and would NEVER walk them on the streets without a lead.
Near me there is an old man who walks a 10+ year old German shepherd and stays within 5 meters of him and is so calm and doesnt get aggressive in any way. That dog is insanely well trained and has probs not had a lead for years. Another dog near me follows his owner perfectly from really good training as well. If you are uncomfortable then cross the road. Obvs in a busy city with many people people wouldn't go there and do that. It some dogs can mist snap and go crazy in a second but generally if trained enough its fine
Don’t leave your dog alone with young kids, not because I don’t trust the dog but because I don’t trust the kid😂😂
haha Love that quote
Well you see what kids do to cats. I can’t imagine what it would do to those deutscher ears 😂
If you trust the kid you cant trust a cat
We've had 2 male and 2 female german shepherds over the course of 30 years. We found the females are more protective and males seem to be calmer
Hey thats interesting. I think a lot comes down to prey drive as well.
I was raised with GSD’s & Males are generally MUCH more ‘laid back’ than females, usually!:))
Jenny Ostendorf
I was gonna say, I think my dog’s defective because he’s very easygoing in every sense. We’re not very controlling with him tho. He’s more attached and will listen to me (I’m an actual woman, lol). Dad’s retired Spec Ops, so I don’t think he cares for that.🤣

When it comes to German Shepherds males are protective of their property, females are protective of their people
That statement is wrong

@@SomethingIgg Go home kid you don't know what right from wrong is. I've owned all types of dogs. Both male and female.
Males are generally property protector but female dogs are protective of their owners and kids!
You can't just label male and female dogs like left and right.. Each and every dogs as its own personality and this imprinted from its time as a pup
She looks like mine!!
GSDs are the best dogs ever!!
Love these guys

Research
German Shepherds are not for inexperienced dog owners, have you considered getting another breed to start? Prove yourself with an easy breed-meaning that you can HOUSE TRAIN the dog. This is no small task. You will need to prove you will regularly feed the dog, groom the dog, keep up with vaccinations, spend a lot of time playing and getting the dog socialized? THEN, ask for a big dog, known for being naturally protective, that can literally kill a person. THINK ABOUT THIS. Also, is there a room in your parents home where you can separate the dog? I use my kitchen because there is a dog door to outside.

@@Lucythegermanshepherd Yeah that's the only thing I thought I should piint out. But yes males are more aggressive, in general. That's why they're better guard dogs. My female was more possessive my male is more protective. He doesn't really like people he doesn't know, my female loved people but not kids lol. She was a rescue so idk her history. either it was she wasn't socialized or had a kid mean to her.
Get a trans if you can.maybe in Neptune.
haha
hands down a female first... then a male after she is about 1.5 years then she will help you train your male, trust me a male Shepherd puppy is the dumbest animal on the planet... for 2 years you will want to shoot him every day... but once you pass that ,magic date you will have the best animal besides your female then you will have a amazing pair of shadows trust me after 3 dobermans... I have had 3 males Shepherds and 2 females i love Shepherds
Haha i love this comment.
after my neighbor Cindy Shaw Of Knoxville murdered my beautiful white Shepherd I got Milli, a brindle Female she was 1 year old yesterday May 20 2020, my 4 year old male did a find job of training her...
Lmaooo you don’t understand the way I’m laughing right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m so glad I got a female shepherd
Just Adorable, which every you get, I have a female and I love her to death, i'm sure I will feel the same to a Male as well. Theyre just beautiful.
They are both amazing pups
I've owned both a male and female German Shepherd and I agree with everything you stated in your video!
Hey thanks heaps
I have a female Malinois Shepherd Mix & she's very protective. Also can be a little stubborn as well lol she's a good 60lbs so not too bad for a female.
I liked German Shepherd
They are great dogs
Lucy is beautiful. I wish I could pet her!
thanks so much
I love Germán shepherds too I would get one someday and the doberman pinscher too an a few years
I've found the exact opposite to be true. The males I've had have been more eager to please than the females. The females have all had a rebel streak. The only one I have that is somewhat aggressive with other dogs is a female. The males all get along with everyone. I have American and West German Showlines. The males are more intimidating. I used to read translations of German books about the breed that said that the males tend be easier to handle and get along better with other dogs. If you think about it, in a wolf pack, only one female gets to breed (in most cases). If another female has puppies, the more dominant female kill those of the less dominant female. They have this whole thing called social suppression of estrus, so a female would be required to be much more plucky to survive and pass on her genes.
Hey that sounds really factual and you have a very valid point. I'll have to look into this further and do an update video. This is more based on my personal experience and only owning a female and being involed with friends with male GSDs. Thanks for your great comment
My previous GSD was a rescue from WSGR and extremely alpha. A yr after I rescued her she was attacked by 2 Chi’s - 1 bit her in the muzzle and I was surprised she didn’t hurt it) She became even more aggressive after the attack/ esp towards little dogs. I have an unusual lifestyle-I live, travel and work out of an RV and since I didn’t have a backyard I was always extremely wary about every situation and the possibility of a dog popping out of nowhere, Knowing she was a liability my only recourse was to hire a behaviorist- and I spent a fortune-5K!! But at least she was “ workable “ for the next 10 yrs until she died at the age of 12. Now I have a 100 lb sweetheart that is fear aggressive and was just diagnosed with lymphoma 😢
I have to agree with you.
Same here. I agree.
Hi bro which one is good for family and kid's GSD male or female puppy I'm confused?
She just watches you. Then reaches out to touch you

I'm Getting A Shepherd Puppy Tomorrow
We have a 5 month old GSD female, she is still pretty mouthy, but hope she will grow out of it. Her health is really good, and has a clean bill of health from her vet. Thanks for the videos you have. Ours is black and sliver with some tan on her ears. Have a great day.
German shepherds are adorable dogs very loyal,loving caring and amazing champions and beautiful and very smart dogs and their good family dogs and perfect workers
You want chips?no cause I want you 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁
Like how you start your intro videos👍
Hey thanks heaps
You've trained Lucy to perfection!! I commend you!
Female names : Athena , Carmel , Amy , Stacy. Male names : ace , Rex , max , bear
They are great names
This guy talks tooooo muucch
Thanks for this I’m getting a German shepherd on Friday 😝🙏🏼
Your dog is sooo cute I’m missing my own German shepherd, her name is Paris she’s only 8 months old but she’s on a 1 month training she should be back on the 5th of September 😩
She is do beautiful!
It would be nice and a lot easier to hear and understand you if you lost the music. It really doesn't add to your presentation at all. Other than that, I truly appreciate what you were doing.
Sorry about that. Since then we have improved drastically with our production quality
female dogs love to cuddle and stay next to you, that's what I want.
Lucy loves cuddles
So do the males.
Why the annoying music? Why any music at all?
My GSD is 2 months+ .Named him DEXTER. 😊
Love that name
I had one growing up, getting a female this month ! I cannot wait!!!
What's that song playing when you fed her the chip?
No idea sorry
We have perfect male. Females are more cuddly
haha I agree
Hi I want a German shepherd does Lucy jump much
Hey yes Lucy loves jumping. Mainly into water
Lucy Lane the Queen of Balmain Is it ok for them to be jumping, because don’t they get some type of bone disease which could shorten their lifespan, German shepherds have really strong legs and it could mess them in the long run if they get too jumpy.
I would get a female called pepper or peppermint
I love u guys follow u at tiktok and youtube
Im getting one german shepard
How exciting is that
are females still very affectionate!
Male
She is sooooooooooooo cutttttttttttte and stay safe
LOVE YA😙😙😙😙🥰👉👈🥺🥺🥺🥺
Lucy sends kisses
You look like shaggy and scooby
Should I get a male or female German Shepherd? get one of each, you won't regret the decision, you will be doubly blessed
That can work
I love your accent and Lucy is such a cutie ❤️🌼
Team male over this way BUT she is precious 🐕♥️
Once Lucy turns 3 we will also get a male gsd as well.
@@Lucythegermanshepherd I got my daughter a boy for her graduation present. He is a character 😂
Female always!😂🎉
She is flirting with you hehehe
Agree the only thing is that all are different so females can sometimes have a really high drive and large size and males can be sometimes smaller and low drive for example Harley has a very high drive and as you already know very fast haha 😂
Hey stranger lol. Can't wait for our next pup session
Lucy is a GORGEOUS girl!
My farm house is ,100 yards off a busy farm to market paved road and the last 35 years I've owned both male and female GSD'S, all have gone to doggie heaven of natural causes. So at the moment I have none, but will take either one. Lucy is looking wonderfuly great, stay safe and a a big howdy from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas USA 😊 ❤️
Awww I really hope you can get another GSD oneway. I bet your out would of been amazing dogs. Have a wonderful weekend guys oxox
I always kissed my dog
best thing
It doesn't matter who you are, your dog, whatever breed it is, should NOT be off the lead/leash when walking it around the streets. This is a very poor example of a dog owner totally ignoring the rules. I've had German Shepherds all my life and would NEVER walk them on the streets without a lead.
Thats all good Gary you are allowed your opinion.
Near me there is an old man who walks a 10+ year old German shepherd and stays within 5 meters of him and is so calm and doesnt get aggressive in any way. That dog is insanely well trained and has probs not had a lead for years. Another dog near me follows his owner perfectly from really good training as well. If you are uncomfortable then cross the road. Obvs in a busy city with many people people wouldn't go there and do that. It some dogs can mist snap and go crazy in a second but generally if trained enough its fine
female gsd bonds with the whole family.
Yeah they do. Shes so sweet
Lucy is so beautiful!
Awww Thank you Mirella.
