Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Bird Dogs? Male or Female

I would have agreed with that statement 4 yrs ago.

My 5 yr old Pudelpointer has met other dogs on a daily basis under positive circumstances since day one. Literally hundreds of dogs over the years. He was left intact and was fine till he turned 2 and then started fighting other dogs (mostly males) that bothered him. He won't run up and start a fight but it another dog bugs him, pups included, he will put them in their place and back off when I intervene. It was a surprise to me as our previous dogs were females and I've never seen this trait.
