Meum asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

I have 2 male dogs- why do they constantly hump each other?

My dogs (a poodle and a shih-tzu) have been neutered, but every time they play around they start to hump each other. The one on the bottom never seems to care either.

What is this all about? Are they just gay?

    MINE DO IT TOO!!!!!

    sorry to yell, but i thought i was the only one with gay dogs. Mine also sit there and lick eachother mouths.

    I dont know why they do it, but they do seem gay

    Mostly likely, your dogs are not gay. This is a dominance routine. The dog that is doing the humping is trying to say, "I'm the boss."

    Strangely enough, that's the concept behind prison sex. Men don't don't "turn gay" in prison, it's a way of saying "I'm the boss around here," by making the lesser man take the role of a woman (which is perceived to be a "weak" role.) So it is "sexist", but not sexual.

    They are trying to prove who is the "alpha dog". By the one dog humping, and the other allowing it, they are showing who is the dominant one. Most people I know, including myself, that own 2 dogs also have this issue - I don't think it's anything to worry about.

    No hes not gay :) It's a dominance slash play thing. When they get really excited they can hump, it's not necessarily sexual.
