One here for you, I know a lot of the lads who have matched and ran in competitions say that they prefer bitches and it's true, bitches seem to win more than dogs but is it just luck of the draw or is there any weight behind the theory? 

I wonder if in Greyhound racing bitches have a higher winning percentage, if true why do you think that's the case. 

I know Don Southered brought up big cats as an example of the females doing most of the hunting, well Don, dogs aren't big cats and don't hunt the same.

I've never had bitches, I just find them a tow and an inconvenience with the risk of coming in to season but I'm talking about their hunting capabilities here. 

Are they actually better hunters, if true it has to be all upstairs, maybe they are just more tuned or maybe it's just mere chance that they seem to outperform dogs on the whole in these big matches and comps.

The evidence is damning, I wonder if it's the same with the greyhounds. 

I wonder why that is, I can't see any physical differences that could explain it so for me it must be upstairs, bitches are probably just that bit more zoned in, who knows hey.

Not only in cats, it is somewhat of a rule of thumb that female carnivores hunt more and are more successful at it. They kinda have to, since they are mostly the ones who have to feed the cubs/puppys etc.
The males just shag and do as they please. ?
So maybe it is a hormonal thing in bitches? More drive?

Maybe it’s just because a lot of lads with serious lines of dogs keep more bitches as that’s the brood animal and it’s easier to go to a stud than find a good brood bitch. I’ve always found in general it’s easier and more consistent to get a good dog but a good bitch is something to see. I’m thinking of bull x types there though.

I dont think that's really the case with wolves though mate as pack members bring food to the den, the female barely leaves the den?

Maybe some truth in that, good dog lads tend to end up with good dogs and seeing as though bitches are more valuable for obvious reasons it makes sense that the top lads keep more bitches than they do dogs?

Also lads with a few dogs often se to have a few bitches and maybe a dog rather than a few dogs and the one bitch. Same with ferrets even, lots of good jills about but not many folk keep a load of hobs.
