I have literally no way of determining if a person is female outside a hospital setting. But there are certain characteristics that people can adopt to signify themselves as women.

So, asking how I'd refer to a group of female humans is kind of a false question outside a niche situation, or unless I'm a doctor...

But, all this is avoided by just saying "women". Or, in the provided example, just saying "dog", or placing "husky" after "female".
