Does it hurt them? Could it lead to a phantom pregnancy Or do I just let them get on with it I should mention that Benji is neutered, but was only done at 2 years, and certainly knows what to do, having coupled with Jack Russell (long legged ) at the farm a few years ago Benji Charlie Jess - Home safe! My dogs will never die....They will walk beside me for ever.....I just won't always be able to see them! NWESSR

Could it be that they are just getting overexcited with play? Dogs that get a bit hyper can get a bit sexual. I personally would seperate them and give them some time out because if nothing else it is rude behaviour and if Benjy thinks he can play with her like that he might think he can play with any dog like that.

Jack( neutered) does try to bonk Bella occasionally but this didn't increase when she was in season so I thinks its more to do with play than anything else. Our biggest problem is Bella bonking Jack Heather & Jack & Bella (my supurb Springers) & Ginger & Kitty (my perfect pussy cats) & Andy (OH) www.syessr.co.uk South Yorkshire English Springer Spaniel Rescue

I gather it's making a comeback so you might want to check whether Jess had an ovariectomy (removal of the ovaries alone) and ovariohysterectomy (removal of the ovaries and the uterus). Not sure how much difference this would make but it could be a factor? K xx

Yesterday, whilst laid in the hallway, Charlie came up for a sniff Jess raised her leg and allowed him to get a little closer.....at which point Charlie wagged his little tail like mad...looked shocked and bolted for my bedroom for peace and quiet Bless him He looked really confused He hasn't got a clue Benji on the other hand is still trying to mount her whenever possible, so I am having to separate, which Jess loves, cause it means she gets to sleep in my room at night....much to Charlie's disgust Benji Charlie Jess - Home safe! My dogs will never die....They will walk beside me for ever.....I just won't always be able to see them! NWESSR

As I said, J humps Tobes, Bam will rarely hump Tobes, no one humps J. And now the leg thing. J is obsessed with Sam's dinky and Sam will raise his leg to let him. Only other dog that has done this with Sam was Dougies Brodie and he royally got told off for it and hasn't tried since. Sam is done, J n T Brodie aren't.
