Males are picky

Boris is picky too. Most of the time he will sniff his food and look at me, and lie down... then go back to sniff his food, to finally eat after a few minutes. When he doesn't, I take my nicest voice, look at him in the eye, and tell him that he should eat, while I take the food bowl and show it to him. It usually works 
It just depends on the dog. I work at a kennel looking after Newf's the females and males are just as big of gobblers as the other. I found some breeds can be slow eaters and some small dogs can be picky no matter the sex of the dog. I would say that 8 out of 10 Shelties I get in for boarding are picky, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Lhasa's etc. and Lab's, Retrievers, Newf's and Rotties are my biggest eaters even in a stressful setting such as a boarding kennel.
At home all my dogs are equally big eaters, my males are the greediest and quickest.

They scarf down anything that remotely resembles food, meaning Bimmer either has to lay by his dish and watch the dish, or lay in the doorway and watch the two grrrrls, then head them off when they look like they might be heading toward his dish, or just go ahead and eat it all. It's funny to watch Shiva and Kharma; they'll both just nonchalantly act like they're going to wander about the house trying to throw him off of their TRUE intent.
It never, ever works, lol! He's not falling for their BS. You'll hear a snarl, then whichever one tried will saunter out sheepishly, trying not to look guilty.
