It makes sense, I mean if it's the most comfortable thing for the dog. I know that a lot of the time, intact dominant males tend to lift their leg higher as it also spreads their scent more (even if they don't mark). My thinking was that, if they never feel the need to spread their scent especially when a female that is in heat is around, they might never develop the habit to the same degree. However, it makes sense that most males would do it to some degree regardless of whether they're altered or not.
I tried to look it up but couldn't find anything very convincing, just personal experiences. Hopefully someone will have a good answer, sorry
