Hey friends, I always try to post when something new or something that concern's me comes up. well just about 25 minutes ago my Minnie is 14 weeks just lifted her leg and peed and i was like ahhh and she got scared and stopped I made sure she was a female and i also checked with the vet at her last appt so she is but why is she lifting her leg that isnt lady like. I am thinking because she has a 3 and 1/2 yr old brother Bingo we seems to lift his leg everywhere and sometimes i see her under him while he is peeing gross she is up his butt idk if she thinks he is her dad or whatever the case is but i thought it was weird and i need some advice input some exchange of thought's for thoise of u who may have experienced this ocward situation lol.... thanx

My little girls do that so they don't pee on their furry feet. I think it is common.

LOL sorry that was too funny....Glad to know she hasn't spontaneously changed sex!!

My Daizy never did that....but Tulip ALWAYS lifts one of her legs...I think it's histerical!!! I love it!! And my girls cousin Sopihie does it too...so don't worry..it's normal....I think they are just more concerned with getting wet paws than the squatters are...hehe

I have a lot of dogs...right now I have 8 girls. And never have I had one lift her leg. Too CUTE

Sweet Apple · 04-17-2009, 02:57 AM

I had a mini-dachshund that did that, and I had another md that didn't...I think it's a cleanliness issue; they don't want to get there back feet damp...

Aren't they funny? Kayla will hold her little leg kinda out to the side, like she doesn't want to get tee tee on it. Lexi is our 10mo. old schnauzer and she sits so far down when she tee tees, you can't tell if she is sitting or tee teeing. They are a hoot. Tina broke her little leg when she was younger and she got so use to holding it out that when the cast came off, for a long time after that she held it out. Even when she ran. She now tee tees like a little girl. lol!!!

My Jemma does the same, sits so low when squatting that one time I had to go down and look to see if she was sitting in it. No leg lifting here nor hiney lifting.

erickajm · 04-17-2009, 04:28 AM

Zoe does that both when peeing and pooing. The boys lift one leg while pooing too.. I think it is cute!

drabinowitz43 · 04-17-2009, 04:35 AM

Sadie squats and lifts one leg and scoots around while she's peeing, Joey, the boy, doesn't even squat, just lowers his body and pees, and Sadie marks everywhere outside. She pees like a dozen times when we go for a long walk. Go figure, they are all such characters.

jmdt · 04-17-2009, 07:16 AM

My Coco (male) is just the opposite. He doesn't lift his leg at all. He just kind of bends like a half an inch and pees.

phfgkl · 04-17-2009, 07:28 AM

my 11 year old FEMALE shih tzu has lifted her leg ever since she was little, just a little bit to keep from pee getting on her. But, when I let her outside to play, she goes around marking the whole back yard, and even backs up to trees and pees.

LOL miss buffey does this exact same thing.

and yes, she lifts her right back paw when she goes potty

i agree, i think she is trying to keep her feet clean

JenS · 04-17-2009, 07:48 AM

Sophie does that, too! I just think it's to keep from getting her foot wet. It's funny because she lifts her leg, but Chewy (my male) doesn't!
