Choccy Lab still not cocking his leg when peeing ???

Will my 10 month old LAb ever !!!! his leg when peeing ??? Like a real MAN dog ??? lol..........:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Or is he destined to do what he has done for months and just stands in a forward like sniffing the air postion and pees away with all four legs on the ground ????? Hmmmmmmmmm :eek:

My fella, fully intact, 2 years now (wow...), swaps between the two, though usually even with the squat one leg slightly rises. However, it took him well past 10 months to regularly !!!! his leg, maybe even a year. Downright embarrassing , I'm not sure, but I think being around other males and observing them do it whilst playing may have helped inspire him into realising that cocking his leg means he can pee higher.

We have a lot of females around us that !!!! their legs, and I suspect this is because of the males around.

I know a male dog that lifts his leg to poo too.. now THAT is weird to see.. I wouldn't worry too much, he'll either do it or he won't.. you can't really do much about this one!

We've always had mainly girl dogs keeping only one male dog at a time here and all the boys have squatted rather than cocked almost exclusively: I presume because they've had no reason to !!!! nothing to scent over and squatting therefore has been sufficient as a marker and no other boy dogs to show them an alternative or get in to ''how high, how far'' competitions with Its nothing to worry about at all had no health repercussions that I have heard of and is certainly not uncommon.

Poochie does the same as the lab but when he used to spend time with a male dog he cocked his leg up. If he tiddles downhill he often ends up with it all over his paws lol.

I'm not worried, I just find it amusing :-)

We used to have a little JR rescue boy who would only poo if he could back up a wall or fence, actually with his two back legs up the wall - lol. Couldnt understand what he was doing when we first got him back from the home but thats how he pooed.

Boy dogs often dont !!!! for a year or more and even then mine still occasionally squat.

my boy is a JRT cross and is 2, he still squats doesn't c0ck his leg at all, it's very rare that i have seen him do it.
