There are several ways… the best would be have a vet check it out but there are also visual cues. Usually males will extent there underneck flap in a display of dominence. The large scale in the region under the ear opening will be larger in males… Hope this helps…

Males have enlarged femoral pores which become more apparent with age. Look underside of hind legs for femoral pores.
