| Question about neutered boys and female in heat Daisy is 10 mths old and hasn't went into heat yet. I had my boys fixed when they were 6 mths. old. My question is when she goes in heat will they try and hump her? She is only 2.6lbs. and I am worried they will hurt her if they try. They are twice her size. I have never kept them separated. I am waiting for Daisy to gain more weight before I have her spayed. I am not comfortable having it done at her current weight.

| The vet said the boys would not have any interest in Daisy. What confuses me is I have seen Bo humping a stuffed animal

| Generally speaking, humping is not sexual especially not for neutered boys. It's more of a dominance thing!

| I have to say that it's a good possibility! I brought my Zoe to a meet up last year and it was just after her heat ended. She was not interested at all and made that very clear but several of the neutered males thought she smelled very interesting and attempted to try. |

| This somewhat answers your question. I will say that I've had a nuetered male and spayed female attempt the breeding process. Humping: Is It All About Sex? Why do dogs hump? Dogs humping humans may amuse other humans, but rarely the human who's being humped. Some dogs will hump a toy or sofa cushion incessantly. We accept dogs humping other dogs in the act of mating, but in other situations it can create problems. What does all this humping mean, and what can we do about it? Early Days Puppyhood socialization to another dog of the opposite sex can help a dog orient sexual behavior for adulthood. Whether you're going to breed the dog or not, it helps for the dog to develop the concept that sexuality is toward other dogs, not humans or pillows. Much of the humping you'll see among puppies as well as among adult dogs is play. Some of it expresses dominance, but that's not always the case. If a dog persists in humping another dog in a social situation, distracting the dog who's doing the humping into another activity is a good idea. For one thing, it's best that a dog not get obsessed with humping. Besides the potential annoyance to others, it can even result in physical irritation. When you consistently interrupt the humping, you prevent it from becoming a strong habit in the dog. Secondly, being humped can become oppressive to the dog who is the target, so that's another reason to interrupt. This is a common complaint in situations where dogs get together to play, such as dog parks. Just distract the humping dog, without punishment of any kind. Physical Issues Irritation or itching in the genital area can cause both male and female dogs to hump in response to the physical sensation. Be alert to this possibility, and of course have your veterinarian prescribe treatment to correct any underlying condition. When a female dog is in heat, she, other females, and of course the males around her may turn into humping fools. Of course, this would be sexual arousal. The excitement of the situation can lead to fighting, as well as the strong possibility of an accidental pregnancy. Female dogs in heat need to be kept under top security! Effects of Neutering Behaviors can start for physical reasons and then continue because they have become habits. Humping is a prime example. Perhaps initially the dog derived pleasure from it, or simply was allowed to do it for prolonged periods with another dog, a human or an object. When a male dog is neutered, a female spayed, or a medical condition irritating the genital area corrected, an established humping behavior may continue because it was allowed to become a habit. For this reason, neutering a male dog is not a sure cure for humping people's legs any more than it's a foolproof method of stopping urine marking in the house after that has become a habit. Neutering does reduce the physical pressure on the dog, and can make your task easier when changing habits through behavioral means. It's important to stress, though, that intact male dogs need not go around humping everything in sight, either. The same simple distraction into another activity that works for neutered males also works for those who are not neutered. Alternatives Correcting a dog in a harsh manner for humping is not necessary and can create problems worse than the humping. Work with the dog to develop several behaviors the dog will perform on cue, such as sit, down, come, fetch, go to a spot and settle calmly, go find a toy to chew, and any trick the dog enjoys doing for a reward. The list of alternative behaviors can be endless. Vary which behavior you cue as a distraction from humping. This keeps your intervention interesting for the dog, and helps avoid encouraging new obsessions.

| I have two neutered males and theytry when my girls are in heat but their thing never gets hard or ever comes out the way my intact male does. My pug is larger than my girls and gets so excited when they're in heat but he's so big he can't. He litterally stands over them. I saw that and separated right away. Will he hurt her I don't think so. But I wouldn't chance it either. Keep them separate.

YT 1000 Club Member | My Female is in heat right now and Both my boys are interested they are both fixed. Although Dante just sniffs, Leo is my smaller male and he tries to get her. I keep telling him he doesn't have all his tools for the job.

| Being the boys are bigger than Daisy, if they try to "get her" will it hurt her. Here's a dumb question Can they get an erection since they have been fixed? If not, I am not too worried,but it so. I don't want to separate them, they will tear the house down while at work. I will though if I have to

| They don't get an erection. When I caught my male pug who is alot bigger than my female; he was standing over her hunched. Kind of funny to see b/c he was holding her with one paw. Couldn't even reach her he's so big. She would have to jump up and he would have to drop to his knees. I know if he wasn't neutered he and she "Would" find a way. But that is my experience. Before he was fixed his thing would be out everytime he was sitting. Now it never comes out even when he's aroused. This is my experience maybe others have had different. P.S. After I cought them I have kept a keen eye on them. I know he can't hurt her but she's a hussy and is always flaunting her stuff. If I'm there she leaves him alone.

| You're right, nuetered dogs can get an erection and can perform the act. Never underestimate the power of a female in Season.

| I have a neutered boy and spayed female who have attempted the "dance" on a few occasions , so just because they are fixed, it doesn't mean the sexual drive is completely gone.

| How will I know when she goes in eat besides the obvious. Being she is very little 2.6lbs. will there be very little blood? I haven't experienced this with a dog before.
