| Separating male and female pups I am going to have a female pup soon in addition to the male pup we already have. I am planning on having the male neutered at 6 months. When do I need to separate them to make sure there are no accidents. My male is already humping his teddy bear so I just wanna be careful especially because they are brother/sister.

| The female puppy should not go into 'heat' until age 7 months or so.....if the male is 'fixed' prior to her first heat there should be no problems....just do the math and make sure you are not cutting it too close. |

| yes they do, Many males will continue to do so to other dogs even after thy are fixed. I have seen my friends dog hump her other two backwards forwards sideways and over the head. He isnt trying to mate, he is simple showing who is top dog. |

| Actually I just asked the vet about this on Sat. Napoleon is only 8 wks old and humps the heck out of his toys. The vet said not to worry-its instinctual and has NOTHING sexual about it |

| Humping at that age is dominance It's nothing but dominance. I would discourage it if you can. Mine used to do that too and she is a "fixed" girl. |
