Hi there, my question is as in the title. You can clearly see that the canid without a penis, and you cannot judge whether it has a pussy (cannot see private place).

BTW the artist says it's female.

It also depends on facial features and other aspects if there's no genitals present:

Otherwise you could post a link to it and we could say how it'd be tagged.

Also, if the artist says they're female but TWYS would class them as male, then you can still add female_(lore) to the post as well.

Check the shoulders. Are they feral in body plan? You can judge sex by the front shoulders in actual canids so this might be easy as that.

Funny enough if they're hyenas.... Genderless? :P

That's not really how it's done here. Things only get classified as genderless/null/etc. if you can actually see the crotch to confirm that they literally have no genitals. When you can't tell what genitals are there, you look for secondary/tertiary/etc. sexual characteristics, like whether the face is more feminine or masculine, (on mammals/anthros) whether mammaries of any sort are present or not, that sort of thing. If there are no visible genitals, and no lesser visual cues to suggest a gender, that's what the "ambiguous_gender" tag is for. Well, that, and when there's no visible genitals, and the lesser visual cues are conflicting to a strong enough degree, you can't visibly rule out one gender or the other.

Obligatory hyenas aren't canid reminder.

I know but it's still funny thought to me. For a hyena, not having a sheath and no other visible (say, human style) genitals would be very confusing, to say the least. But yeah, that makes sense. In related news, going to start a post asking about a super rare tag that I think might not be the correct one/obsolete/replaced with different one.
