In my experience it's normally excitement and a misdirected attempt to play rather than either dominance or anything directly sexual.
I would say a firm 'off' when she does it and walk away and ignore her for a couple of minutes. Ideally distract her before she starts, try to redirect her to a...
The trouble is dogs are dogs, not robots. Even the best trained dog can lapse or do something unexpected. It's even more difficult with a youngster because you can't train them to recall in all circumstances without letting them offlead at times and in places where you are *reasonably* confident...
The ad seems to have been removed :unsure:
He's been advertising for rotties as well:

I assume you want people to look out for her, so a description or photograph would be useful for those of us who don't know her. Is she on Doglost and are there any posters that people can download and plaster around the place? It might also help people keep their eyes open if you say...
Here's a link to the rescue's website in case anyone is interested. So many lovely dogs on there :(

frazzyb - are you connected with the rescue? I just wondered if they advertise their dogs on any of the rescue sites like Dogsblog or Dogpages...
I don't really see how many of the puppies were sold quickly is relevant to anything at all, surely the quality of the homes they are going to is more important than how quickly they sell?
Good on you for taking back that poor little bitch, you did a great job turning her round, but it shows...
Irrespective of lines my definition of 'responsible' breeding would be based on how much responsibility the owners of the dam and the sire will take for those 32 pups for the rest of their lives.
Was this a one-off or has she continued to bleed? Also is she spayed?
The most common cause of blood in urine is a simple bladder infection which would hopefully be sorted out by the antibiotics, but usually the amount of blood is relatively small so the urine has a pink tinge.
However it...
Maybe better to see how she matures and gets on in the show ring before making that decision?
What would be the thinking behind mating her with a malamute? It would be quite a demanding cross to own, I'd have thought. There are very few good homes out there for malamutes and loads of them in...
Sorry to hear you are still having problems with him, I hope your patience pays off and you start to see some improvement soon :luck:
Although I'm generally very much in favour of neutering I would be cautious about having a very nervous dog castrated, and would personally want to leave it...
What a pretty girl. At least she's in a non-destruct pound, so should be 'safe' even after her 7 days are up. It looks as though they work in conjunction with Stray Aid to rehome any unclaimed strays, and animals rehomed are neutered, vaccinated and vet checked before rehoming, so she's a lot...
Thanks Annie and rm1. We have a specialist greyhound vet just up the road, it definitely sounds like a good idea to get an opinion from him if we can. It's Simon Gower, I don't know anything about him, does anyone know if he would be recommended for this sort of thing?
