I think it's just that if a male dog is squatting, you know he's definitely peeing just to relieve himself, and not to mark. Again, once male dogs start lifting, they almost never pee just to pee. It's either purely marking (when there isn't even any liquid coming out, they're just waving their leg at something), or marking and peeing together.
Yeah, it is interesting that you had a little girlie marker. I don't see a lot of female yorkies, so maybe this is more common in the breed. I actually almost never see females mark. |
