Girl reindeer do have antlers. Reindeer or caribou are the only species of deer where both males and females have antlers.
Both males and female reindeer grow antlers, being the only species of the family Cervidae that do so. Male reindeer shed their antlers at the beginning of winter, mid November to late December, while females do not shed their antlers until after delivering fawns in the spring.
It is believed that all of Santa's reindeer are female. This is because males shed their antlers in late November and early Decembers, but females do not shed them until after they give birth in the spring.
Dasher is indeed a boy. A deer with antlers is a boy, a deer without antlers is a girl.
No, it is believed that all of Santa's reindeer are females because they have their antlers. Males shed their antlers in late November or early December and females do not shed them until they give birth in the spring.
Vixen is a doe. There are a few references that suggest this reindeer is female. If you're trying to go by the fact Vixen has antlers, know that all reindeer, both males and females, have them.
Well, honey, Dancer the reindeer is actually a male. I know, shocking, right? But hey, who cares about gender norms in the North Pole anyway? Dancer can prance and dance however he pleases, regardless of what's in his pants.
Actually, they ALL are! The male reindeer lose their antlers in late November to early December & the female reindeer retain (keep) their antlers until spring. We really should have known this because the reindeer always find their way! You GO! Girls! & keep those cards, letters & presents coming! :)
Most of the Santa's Reindeer Names are Unisex Names though some are for boy or girl.

Blitzen is traditionally portrayed as a boy in the stories and depictions of Santa's reindeer.
To have the antlers at all and the size thereof that are often depicted in Christmas pictures, They're all female. And quite old ones at that, mothering age. You of course can believe whatever you want, but real male reindeer shed their antlers during the winter, while female reindeer keep them all year long. the female reindeers are does and they have no antlers the male reindeers have antlers Not necessarily. It seems more likely that the reindeer Santa uses are castrated males, also known as steers. Bucks spend most of their time before Christmas fighting other bucks for breeding rights, and then can mate with up to a dozen does, which would exhaust them, and during that time they lose their antlers. Does will be pregnent with calves during December and would need to use all their time and energy to insure their calves get enough nutrients to be born in a healthy state. Pulling a sleigh across the world in one night wouldn't be the best way to insure a healthy calf. Steers on the otherhand, would keep their weight, size, antlers, and a gentle temperment which would make it easier for a smooth rider.
They all are. Male reindeer lose their antlers in the fall, while female reindeer keep them until spring, after birthing time. since every picture of Santas reindeer at Christmas shows them with antlers? They are all female.
