is this ok?
Maui (neutered almost a year ago) recently tried mounting/humping Cali. He
did it twice in the past 3 days. I was wondering if this is behavior I should discourage or if this is acceptable and I should just leave it be. I understand that not all mounting is sexual so maybe I shouldn't care and just let them work it out. Maybe Maui is trying to show he's dominate over Cali? For what it's worth, Cali is almost 6 months old so she will be spayed very soon but isn't yet. Also, will her spaying have an affect on either her or Maui's behavior? Thanks. |

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to stop it... Gordo and Ghile were both neutered before they were a year old (Chile at 6 mos, Gordo at 9 mos, IIRC), and at 14.5 years, he still tries to hump her... well, air hump. He never quite got it right. It never seemed to bother her, in fact, she hardly seems to notice. I don't know how to interpret it. It doesn't seem likely that it's sexual, and she has always been more dominant than him. Then there's Oppie, also neutered around 6 mos., who side-air humped Dylan for 9 years, until she died. He'd lay his head on her back and go at it. And she mostly ignored him, or walked away leaving him humpin' away at nothing. He's been observed making the same moves in the general direction of Chile (no contact), who weighs 8 lb to his 78. Sexual? Dominance? Dylan was always alpha to Oppie's "don't care as long as I get fed." I have no idea.

It depends on how the other dog reacts to it and how you feel about it what you want to do about it. Sammie tries to hump the bigger dogs. I don't allow it because I don't like it even though the dogs ignore him. -- Paula "Anyway, other people are weird, but sometimes they have candy, so it's best to try to get along with them."

That sort of thing tends to me dominance/submissive related. My Rottie bitch invites our CockerX to show this behaviour by sliding her head under the much smaller dogs chest. It's quite funny, actually. William Robb |
