rabbit mad 10 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 i would say only mentally but could be down to the breeding. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Most bitches do mature earlier than males, though it can depend on the breeding. Mentally they tend to mature earlier as well. I've known of some male lurchers who didn't reach their full height until they were 2 years old: in one case the dog wasn't a huge type either, around 24". The bitches in the litter had all reached their full height by 12 months of age. Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 on the litters i have bred which tbh is not many i have never noticed it but maturity wise yes definately the bitches seem to mature earlier and seem older than the dgs in their ways and running . Quote Link to post
hedz31 1,308 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Ive always thought bitchs matured quicker both mentaly and phisicaly than dogs most animals of a pack nature do and always have done,not sure if its bred out of domestic canines now but in my opinion bitchs are quicker Quote Link to post
