One section dealed with male/female reproduction in animals and humans(of course we are animals as well).... Without going into the details of what I remembered from the class..... The conclusion was that the male species is interested in quantity and the female is concerned with quality. She is looking for the best mate available with desirable genes to carry on the species. We know what the male is looking for. I just had a litter of 7 last night from my Army son and Teejay (4 time US German Sieger) daughter. This is NOT the sire I wanted to use. I wanted to use my young black male who was more than willing to get the job done. My bitch has played with this black dog since he was an eight week old puppy. She'd even ignored him when he mounted her 7 or 8 times a day since he was 4 months old. But much to my surprise when she came in season two months ago she made it very clea r that she wanted nothing to do with this young male She wanted the pack leader Army son. This is the first bitch I ever had that refused the sire that I wanted to breed to. Very interesting.
