Can you tell a dog's gender from its face?

37 Comments

Slightly different question than the cat burglar gender identity parade (if it gets approved). In this, I just want to know if all the dogs are the same gender or a mix.

Don't try to out-think the purpose of the question just for the sake of being right. Try to answer honestly. Or if you do want to out-think, say that you've done so. In this way, we won't skew the data for this very important NASA experiment about umm... what gender you think dogs are.

They are a mixture of genders	127
They're all the same gender; female	88
They're all the same gender; male	38
They're all the same gender; I don't know which	5
Some of these dogs are cats in costume (especially dog C)	17

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

They're the Spice Girls, but Victoria couldn't make it to the photo shoot that day.

  Okay, I'll do this quickly because I can't see the post in the list any more which usually means someone has complained about it and it's been deleted. It'll still be around for an hour or so, though, from experience.
  
  And I'll shamelessly pin this reply to Nora's as hers was most popular on this one too.
  
  All four dogs were female. They were picked randomly from a dog adoption site. The responses I got show that people
  were able to pick out female traits in some (or all) of the dogs. Very few thought all the dogs were male.
  
  Final note: All these dogs genuinely require homes. If you're thinking of getting a puppy, just spend a moment in considering adopting an adult dog.

    but, but---
    i was certain at least ONE of them was a dressed up cat....
    
    ah, i SEE what you did there!
    
    They are STILL all the same gender because it's a female cat! There's nothing about species in the answer...

      What's weird is that after I'd stopped laughing at your comment, I went through and picked out which was which. A is scary, B is baby, C is ginger, and D is sporty.
      
      Good call. ;)

    And, typically, both posts have just reappeared, side-by-side, in the list of today's stories. IIN has been toying with me again.

  Ahh, that made me laugh so much. And it reminded me of my grandma. She had a dog very much like that and she always used to say his eyes were like "piss-holes in the snow".

I've been staring at that picture for 10 minutes, and I still have not got a clue. So I'm just going to say B and D are cats in dog costumes, and A and C are transsexuals.

I have no idea, but if I had to guess, I would say A&C are males and B&D are females?

Is it odd it bothers me that all the letters aren't the same colour?

I went for mixture.

  In retrospect, I could have made them all black with a white border. That would have worked. :/

  Ahh, I had to do it like that, I'm afraid. A black "A" on a black dog's head really didn't work. All you could see was one leg of the A.
  
  I couldn't change the dog either because they were chosen by a predetermined random process (so my personal bias didn't influence things).

  Hahaha not odd, but funny. You do see there's a reason for it, right, especially if you look at A and B? Doesn't it change anything? :)

  It got approved so I'll give people a little time to answer on both the dog and cat thing before posting the answers and the multiple reasons for the questions.

  Yes, I'll post the answer, as always. If the story doesn't get approved, I'm dappled and I'm happy for anyone to ask privately.
  
  P.S. The cat thing, though? Not me. Pure coincidence!

  You seem really angry and determined to take it out on others. I hope it's making you feel better because it's not making anyone else feel better.

      Is it at all possible that you were already angry (perhaps frustrated at some aspect of your life that you can't control) and that you are looking for victims to transfer that anger onto and blame them for, even though you know it's not really their fault?

Are You Normal?

Can you tell a dog's gender from its face?
