I tried to search the topic, I am new here and couldn't find historical threads answering this question. The only thread I could find referred to what to do if a male dog's "lipstick" is out for too long.
If my female pup were to have an accident in the house, the most I am contending with is mopping up a small puddle. I am trying to imagine having a boy and am asking will he mark, will he lift his leg and mark my couch, curtains, shoes, clothes, bed, everything. I am trying to learn what I can so I make the best choice regarding the next pup I bring into my home. I am trying to decide between knowing 2 girls are more likely to have problems and bringing in a boy that may have needs and/or behaviours beyond what I am willing to deal with.
thanks!  |
Girls mark too. Most of the girl dogs I've met mark just as much as the boys, then again most of the dogs I've encountered where shelter dogs so I don't know if that makes a difference. They as strays all had to mark their territory? Maybe all my questions would be answered if I would get a little girl too.
But, your question is different than mine. I understand that dogs mark, I just never knew there was a difference between boys marking and girls marking.
