Why does my chihuahua cock her tail to the side??
My chi draws her tail over to the side and arched sideways everytime my friend is near her or is paying attention to her...and she comes to my friend willingly and crawls in her lap, so it can't be fear...why does she do this??? Is it because she is in heat and wants to mate (with just my friend, no one else) or does she see my friend as an "alpha dog"?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this puppy mystery!

If she is in heat, moving the tail to the side is a sign she is receptive to mating. They only do this during a certain part of their heat cycle. Your friend might have a dog that your dog smells? It will pass in a week or so. You might want to consider getting her spayed after her heat cycle ends. I don't think it has anything to do with pack order or "alpha dog" recognition. It is simply a mating behavior.
