Bear in mind that "puta" (whore) is considered a stronger insult because it's making reference to the person's mother (something 'untouchable' - almost holy- by Spanish standards), whereas a "bitch" (female dog) lacks 'sense' as an insult. For Spanish insults to be forceful enough, they normally refer to one of three things - the Virgin, the mother, or the wife.... Machismo at its highest!
