I feel like I have to give a disclaimer if I post anything before my head gets biten off~ yikes! How old are your babies?or Baby?

I really dont think anyone is trying to come across like that, i think they are just trying to help you.
My poppy is just 7weeks old a very small little baby. She is soooo cute tho She can be a little tinker at times but i am having fun with her at the moment trying to potty train her haha! I cant really help with your problem because i dont have two doggies just the one.

How old is your baby or babies?

Whether or not you think you took enough precautions with her during her heat cycle, you owe it to her to get checked. Even though you say she is a baby, she could have still gotten pregnant even if it was her first cycle. A successful tie only takes a few seconds. Diapers, crating and just watching them aren't enough to be absolutely certain they didn't tie. You say she's not showing, but she may not with a first litter until just before delivery, so don't let that be your only guide.

As to why your male is still trying to go after her- she's peaked his interest. He's unneutered and has hormones flowing 24/7. He's gotten the idea from her previously being in heat that this is what he is SUPPOSED to do. Can't blame a boy for trying.
.

Even if you were to have him neutered now, chances are at 6 years old he's still going to try and mount everything around. The neutering will help, of course, but the habit is pretty ingrained. Sometimes it's a dominance thing, other times it's just pure stress relief. You can try removing him every time you see him starting, and redirect his energy on to something else. He's got to learn that it's not acceptable and if the behavior continues it will get him separated.

Good luck.

Thanks for all your insight , Philly is not pregnant and that wasn't the reason for this post ...of course Dallas is going to mount but the point to the post was he hasn't mounted in over 4 weeks so why now?...He is acting like she is in heat again ...maybe he is over jealous all of a sudden but something has triggered him to act this way again b/c he lost complete interest in her before ...yes I know I wouldn't have the problem if they were both fixed but they aren't so for now so some thoughts on why he would behaive this way would help .....

*** I am still getting private messages w/ folks saying sorry about the rudeness of some of the comments left to be "helpful" today so maybe you dont think your being rude and maybe you really aren't but the way it comes across isn't nice and if you didn't know when you respond in a post b/c people can't hear your tone you have to be careful how you word things...so maybe it was all innocent but w/ receiving 13 PM's today w/ people feeling I was being " judged" I dont feel I was being " defensive " at all *****

I frankly think you have been pretty rude too.

However, as to your question, maybe there is a female in heat somewhere within a few miles of your home and Philly is just the lucky recipient of his affections.

I'm serious when I say this just may be behaviour you are going to have to live with now. Not trying to be rude, just realistic. The dynamics between your dogs have changed now.

[katienme2002]

I think you should get the dogs spayed/nuetered asap as well, but with that being said, boys will be boys..lol...And he is going to be relentless until your female is fixed; JMO of course =)

A Big thank you to the private messages I keep getting about all the posts I received today ...Thank you for YOUR support Not going to post anymore b/c this has turned into something silly and I have better things to do but thanks for all the meaningful replies to this post and I hope you have a great night , going home to give my babies hugs and so so many kisses!

[Beamers Mom]

Just a thought
On another forum when someone was getting the responses they didn't want to hear they would always post "Thanks for the PM's supporting me"
When in fact there were never any PM's.

So, when someone posts they are getting many private messages saying how judgmental the people are on a forum, I take it with a grain of salt.

LOL!! Seeing as you have been the only one to be rude...I can just imagine who they are

Yep Beamers Mom thats what I am doing ..LOL

You know, I was going to leave this alone but when I saw this this morning, I just couldn't.

You came on here, knowing FULL WELL that people would tell you that you need to get your dogs fixed. We've given resources and different ways to help and you've ignored them, saying that we're being judgemental and rude because it's not the advice that you want.

Your female went into heat, your male noticed. Their dynamic as a 'couple of dogs' in your household has completely changed. He now KNOWS that she's a female and ready and nature has told him to, please, step up to the plate. This behavior isn't going to go away AT LEAST until after they're fixed. Then, he'll still probably try to hump her.

It makes me very frustrated when people come on here saying, "Oh, I have to intact dogs and the male keeps trying to hump the female... How can I prevent it? Why are they acting differently?" And then they get mad when you answer their questions. This forum isn't about being judgemental. It's about being helpful and being honest. When you want lies, go find somewhere else to whine. We've heard enough.

Then why are you back and still posting?

Because she is "trolling"

[gemy]

Let's start with an obvious:

1. Your female has gone into heat again. There is something called split heats, although usually not so close in timing ie : one month apart

2. Your male has smelled other females who are either close to heat or actually in heat. Most terriers have a good sense of smell and those smells can travel for miles.

3. Most females do NOT want to be humped by male dogs. The snarling, lip curling and growling, are their way of telling the males keep away. And the older the bitch gets the more likely and quickly she will respond this way. They are called bitches for a reason Your female is trying to teach this one to NOT hump me Nope noway don;t like it. And she won't stop until his behaviour changes.

Nb: real life today story to elaborate: At training today, a full female who my full male has not seen for awhile was there. he adores this female, always has, looks like he always will. Our trainer said because Magic man was showing a lot of interest in her, oh she's going into heat Oct. After about 5-8 times of pulling my male away from her, I said well Ilona you might want to rethink when she is going into heat. Una the female, took exactly one or two sniffs at her butt, and then it was snap, snarl, and growl at Magic. Magic hadn't even started to hump her yet. But every chance he got, he did his old male thing of posturing. Gawd do they ever look fantastic when they do that. Chest out, head high, muscles bulging, testosterone roaring. By the end of the hour Magic just had to look at her, and her lip curled. This is a dog that could do serious damage to him, if she took it into her head to do. Did my boy care? Nope not one little old whit.

4. You need to train your dog not to hump your female. That means every time he goes to do so you interfere. Lure him away with a treat. Put him on a lead and tug him away. Discipline him when he does the humping business. Preferably interfere before it gets to a hump.

just look at humping as any undesirable behaviour you want to curb/control. Then do the appropriate discipline.

You've already got other advice about spaying. Some links that maybe will pan out for inexpensive spay/neuter clinics, so I truly hope you can avail yourself of some of the suggestions here.
