A video showcasing a female puppy standing out among her energetic littermates quickly went viral with 21.9 million views on Instagram.

Like children, puppies generally display certain characteristics based on their sex. Non-neutered males tend to be more dominant, territorial, playful and active than females, according to Pedigree. While females are easier to housebreak or train, they sometimes can be more demanding of attention.

And as a breeder based in Arizona, Sheryl Bowden has seen her fair share of dog personalities. She told Newsweek that male puppies usually have a more rambunctious side, while the girls, in her experience, can be stubborn. The “goofy” and silliness of boy pups shone through in her August 7 Instagram video posted to the account @maizey_daze.

In the clip, four male golden retriever puppies were roughhousing. One tried pulling the pup’s sweatshirt off. Another grabbed a tail with his mouth. The puppy energy was in full swing. However, the only female dog in the litter, Birdie, captured people’s hearts as she wanted nothing to do with the puppy chaos her brothers started.

Bowden panned the camera from the boys playing to Birdie, who stared up with a smile on her face and her paws over the side of the playpen. She was in heaven getting the attention and a moment away from the madhouse of her littermates.

“Don’t get me wrong, the boys can be wrestling and she will fly out of nowhere and tackle whoever is on top!” Bowden said. “They are so fun to raise and watch their personalities!!”

Plus, Bowden knows the puppy energy does not last 24/7. She said whenever she holds them, they calm down. The puppies love to be touched and given attention.

What Do the Comments Say?

Instagram users flooded the comment section, as they fell in love with the “princess of the pack” who they believe is the secret mastermind behind the puppies.

“She’s going to lead them all,” one viewer commented, while a second echoed: “She says, ‘I’m gonna be the boss around here.'”

Others joked that the saying “boys will be boys” rings true even in the puppy world. One comment reads: “So boys are wild in every species.”

Thinking on the bright side, an Instagram user pointed out: “She got 4 brothers that would protect her at all costs though.”
