female dog humping

[Millies mamma]

Millie is a 14 week old female yorkie. Earlier today while giving her a tummy rub she started trying to (for lack of a better word) hump my hand!! I was in shock!!! Then when I removed my hand she started humping a stuffed toy!!
Has anyuone ever heard of this!!! What is going on????

My little Winnie is six months old and spayed, and she sometimes starts humping things as well. I think its just a dog thing.

Princess used to hump my arm while I struggled to get a toy out of her mouth to play. Although I didn't think it would matter, she was spayed around a year old & it has stopped. She'll still straddle my arm to try to 'control it', but there's no humping. I thought it was weird a female would do it at all, but from what I've read it's really not that uncommon.

It's not unusual in the animal world, Milo has done it and he is only 10 weeks old. Believe it or not cows do it. I thing they are hard wired for it and it starts to come to light as the hormones develop...ask your vet about it and he what he/she says.

I have also read that it is a sign of dominance , an indication the dog is coming into heat and the list goes on.

That makes me feel better...I was thinking "what is wrong with my baby!!"

No your baby is normal and she was just going with what feels good.

Our Pfeiffer is 2 and she sometimes humps her donut bed...but only during mid-morning, which is interesting and mysterious .

Mine hump a stuffed lab puppy. Never anything else. They will line up and take turns very funny. I allow it because it is only this stuffed animal- Nothing else. I would not allow humping on people or others pets.

3 of mine are spayed and they still do it worth the stuffed dog the same amount as before.

I work in a boarding facility/doggie day camp and we usually see that as a dominance thing in females. I actually had a female shih tzu humping a female bichon all day. Ridiculous! :P

My Joli started humping any toy that was her size or bigger. It is a pretty fun story of how it started though. I got her a big pink monkey for her first Valentines day, she had a new Valentines dress and bow and I gave her the monkey...and she almost immediately started humping it. She was only 6 months old and still pretty small. She sniffed it a few times and then started at it. So it seemed like she took her Valentines present a little too literally....
I wouldn't let her play with that toy very often because EVERY time she got it she would hump it, it ended up being named 'Hump Monkey', and sometimes she would go pretty crazy with it *embarrassed face* . I finally threw it away to try to keep her from doing it, but any time she gets something that is about her size she will make it 'hers'. So I have to make sure all of my stuffed animals are put on shelves not only to prevent chewing but humping. She also tries to hump my leg pillows at times.

And when we got Somi [we have had her for about 6 months] she would try to hump her when they would play. And this is when she would play nice with her and they got along [Joli currently fights with her a lot ]. It was so funny that it was really hard to sound serious enough to get her to stop, with Joli being close to 9 lbs and Somi being barely 2 lbs at the time. And I said some phrases I never thought I would say along the lines of "Don't hump the baby". But she hasn't tried to do this in a long time.

I was also hoping that all of the humping would stop after she got fixed, but it has stayed about the same with the leg pillow and whenever she gets a big toy/toy type thing.

Jasmin is over 1 year old and spayed. She loves to hump my husband's hands and feet even when we have guests over. She won't do it to me or other people. She humps only daddy.
