Is it Normal

for a female dog who is fixed still have her mommie instinks..

and the reason i ask is cause Savannah she try's and mouth hope and hope and i thought that she was trying to bite them but hubby says no she is trying to do what their momma would do to them..

I don't think they loose their motherly instincts at all. If a woman has a hysterectomy, she doesn't loose her motherly instincts.

when my RB dog Cindy got fixed i thought she´ll change but no she was the most motherly dog ever, when i had foster puppies over she would take care of them as if they were her own. (but she did had puppies before, i dont know if savanah has had, but i guess mother instict in present in every female)
