Men in general have a "presence" that dogs will perceive, dogs react to their perceptions showing us their unconscious fears or their remembering previous mistreatment. Humans can perceive this "presence" but often don't realize it, think back to seeing people in the distance, could you tell men from women? Dogs are even better at it, and again linking that to past traumas (some of the most memorable things are traumatic experiences) dogs will naturally go into a "fear reactive mode".
definetly and absolutely NOT... female dogs are just as loving and protective as human mothers-- do you see moms suffocating their children?
Sign of caring and trust towards the ownerAnswer:Sentimentality aside, young dogs lick their mothers to induce her to throw up food she has already eaten. It is more easily digested by their immature digestive system. Adult dogs continue to o this to their owners in hope that the owners will give them something to eat (hopefully a prepared treat).
I would say that people tend to go for female dogs more because sometimes they have maternal instincts, just like a woman would; but I have nothing against male dogs, and they can sometime be more caring than female dogs. I would also say that people go for males because females get to where they have a period and could possibly have puppies. When a female dog has her puppies you have to be sure that the female is a good dog that doesn't bite before you touch her puppies. Your dog has to trust you before you even get close to her puppies.
Some dogs have a high prey drive, which can be triggered by the fast movements of a cat. This drive is often instinctual and can lead to aggressive behavior towards cats. Proper training and socialization can help manage this behavior in dogs.
Dogs may be able to sense changes in a woman's body and behavior when she is in labor, such as changes in scent and body language. Some dogs have been known to display protective or attentive behavior towards women who are about to give birth. However, not all dogs will exhibit this behavior.
Not all dogs are protective. A few protective dogs would Be: Rottweiler, Doberman, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Yorkie, Chorkie, Chiweenie, Some hairless dogs, And Chihuahua. Those dogs can be protective because they aggression issues or maybe Because they are just obeying their owners
Often, a male dog is protective of the pregnant female dog, usually if he is the "mate." Sometimes dogs, mates of the pregnant dog or not, will act aggressivley towards the female dog, also known as the "bitch."
No, dogs do not typically kill their babies. In most cases, dogs are protective and nurturing towards their puppies.
Some dogs are very protective of their owners and attached to them. This is why some dogs feel they need to follow their owners everywhere they go even to bed.

Dogs can be protective of their owners based on their bond and perceived role in the family. Your dog may see you as their primary caregiver or leader, which can trigger protective behavior. This may explain why your dog is more protective of you than your husband.

Yes, it happens to my aunt's dog and it's perfectly normal.
It depends. Is the male becoming aggressive? If it is then something's wrong. Males are usually protective of the females and pups (depending on breed) so if it is acting aggressive towards the female then it will hurt the puppy's. Other male dogs will be fine around the pregnant female but become aggressive towards the pups. Do your research on the breed to determine what is the best way to protect not only the female and pups but the male because the female will attack the male if he try's to attack the puppy's.
