Dog is always male

I've known some people to default to male cats and some to female. If there's a reason behind that I haven't found it yet. O default to female

in late latin you had the masculine cattus for the domestic cat, and canis (dog) could be masculine or feminine.

i'll have to dig around to find later examples of canis in use as a generic noun with feminine adjectives, but in horace's fifth epode, the witch canidia demanded "ossa ab ore rapta ieiunae canis" (bones taken from the mouth of a hungry dog), ieiunae being feminine

In Russian they do tend to default to feminine, but they also have male equivalents for both and if you have a then you're gonna call it a not a .
