hey... i just wanted to post something for anyone that might have had the same question/curiousity as me... sorry if this makes anyone uncomfortable as it is about a male's "sexual" anatomy, and may have some sensitive words.

i had Kash neutered this past Thursday, but i had noticed afterwards that there were still two small circular formations right at the base of his wee wee... i was confused because before i had gotten him neutered, i thought THOSE were his testicles... i was also a little nervous that either the vet didn't neuter him (LOL!) or there was something wrong down there, like a tumor or something...

well, i did some research on the Internet and found out that a dog's testicles are much lower (closer to the bottom towards his bum), and the two "balls" at the base are called "the bulbous glandis." apparently, those glands swell up when a dog becomes aroused and is what "locks" a male and a female in the "act" while mating, and they are not removed during a neuter. so, that's part of the reason why male dogs still hump even after being neutered. they just can't procreate because they don't have the little swimmers inside them anymore. mostly the reason for humping after neutering is to show dominance because, without testicles, ejaculating is out of the question.

i know, i know... i feel pretty stupid now that i know the facts. but i'm relieved too! i'm sure many breeders (or members) on YT would have been able to tell me all this, but i didn't want to post a thread asking about it...

thanks!
