Is there a difference between the temperament of male and female Great Danes?
Yes, although both are typically very affectionate, gentle and loving. I can’t give you details, it’s just a feeling that boys are sweeter, more consoling, more just wanted to check on you, touch you, see you, than the females. A friend of mine describes it (correctly so) like this. Girls look at you and say “love me, love me, love me,” boys look at you and say “please let me love you”. Also, boys don’t take scolding as well as girls. They may both steal a pork chop off the counter but boys will be genuinely sorry that you yelled at them, after all they couldn’t help themselves. Whereas girls will just think that if they can do it faster the next time then the boy will get all the blame, ha, ha, ha (them laughing, not me).
