It's probably more "dog specific" rather than breed specific. I wouldn't think that just visiting with your friends male dogs occasionally would mean the pup would lift, but who knows? My boys do not mark in the house, only outside. They use potty pads during the day. I have a small 3rd bedroom that is specially for this purpose. They have hiking posts made out of 2 liter bottles filled with water and wrapped with pee pad. Maybe having that specific area for leg lifting help to keep them from marking my furniture. They also have flat pads down for poops. So, to answer your question, I think it will just depend on the pup.
