6 month old female humping issue My 6 month old yorkie is humping my older male. Is her first heat in the near future. |
May not be heat, most of what I have heard is that she is asserting her dominance. :rolleyes: Another girl rules the roost! :D |
I'm not sure since there is another male dog around, but when I did research on signs of impending heat it said humping was one of them. My Piper Annabelle is just a week shy of 6 months and hasn't exhibited any signs of that. Are you planning on getting her spayed? If so, I'd do so ASAP. It dramatically drops their chance of cancer if you do it BEFORE the first heat. |
spay I am going to get her spayed but I was told to wait till after her first heat. |
I think it's a dominance issue, more than sexual...If your older male is neutered, I'd wait 'till after one heat too... |
the vet I just got off the phone with the vet. I was told there is no reason to wait for a heat. Actually she said it would be better to not have a heat. |
I have a 6.5 month old female and ive caught her humping her toys twice, I researched the subject and it seems to be more of a dominance thing then a sexual thing. But yes if you are planning on having her spayed then its best to have it done before her first heat as it will reduce the chances of her getting mammary cancer. The best age to spay is between 6-8 months. |
I have 2 one year old girls that I've caught humping each other - They are both spayed. Bridget has been spayed for several months, and Greta since September. I also think its a dominance thing and not sexual - it usually happens when they're rough-housing. Totally caught me by surprise the first time I saw it.....heck - they've even done it to the cat! |
