Throughout my career, I have always preferred to run bitches over dogs. When I was a child my father tended to have bitches, only owning one working dog labrador. But why?
I have found that, growing up, bitches tend to mature a lot quicker than dogs and have a much better work ethic and attitude. The dogs tend to be more playful for longer.
I have also found that dogs have a tendency to become distracted as their hormones kick in. A lot of handlers find this phase frustrating and often really struggle, particularly inexperienced and novice handlers. I am rather impatient and have always lent towards bitches, as I have found I can push them that
