One of the girls who works in the dog park told me that Bitsy is marking. She said it's not very common in females, but it happens with dominant females. Bitsy is 5 and a half months old, so I called the vet today to see how quickly I can get her in for her spay. I was originally planning on having her spayed at 8 months so he can pull any leftover baby teeth, but with this marking thing, I want to do it sooner rather than later so hopefully this will help nip it in the bud.
Bitsy still squats to pee on her indoor pee pads though, thank goodness.
Who else has a female dog that marks or lifts her leg to pee? |
LOL! I have a 12 year old Maltese named BitsyRoo, who marks outside. She is spayed and lifts her leg when she does it. When we walk, she acts like a male and sniffs out the poles and trees. She has never done this inside though.
