| Peeing like a boy! My 18 month old female follows our 7 month old male around and pees exactly where he does. However, the problem is she pees with her leg up! Why is she doing this; is she marking her territory? It's kind of amusing, but a little bizarre.

| Bella Mia does the same exact thing. It is hilarious to watch. She poops normal but always since she was a puppy she hikes her leg way up there to pee. I think she doesnt like the grass touching her little whoo whoo. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The adrenal glands makes testosterone in both males and females, the testes makes the bulk of testosterone in males, but even after neutering the adrenal gland pumps out a little, and the amount varies greatly between dogs. Testosterone is said to be the hormone responsible for marking.

| Apple has started lifting her right leg, ever so slightly, here lately...I think it's because her hair is getting long, and she doesn't want it to get wet...But, hey, who knows really lol... |

| Penny is a partial lifter. She does it when the grass is wet! If the ground is dry she'll pee nice and ladylike, but when it is damp she hikes one leg up. It's really cute.

| Out of my three girls, I have one...lil' MissAbby who prefers to do a squat balancing act on one leg. Hmmm, maybe she was an acrobat in a traveling circus in another life...lol!
