new puppy- help

[IRescue452]

And dab_20, I'd buy this dog if I were looking at it. CHances are they are a person who bred their female once and are now finding out the hard way that they can't make a profit and that its also not easy to find homes for the dogs. But if I couldn't affford it currently, I'd wait.

thanks irescue425. my mom decided she does have enough money for everything. when we went to go look at the puppy, my friend answered the door! apparently its my friends cocker. the dad was a handsome chocolate and white, and the mom was a cream color. the parents were both friendly and healthy. the puppy is soo cute! black and a white strip on the back that looks like lightning. looked very healthy. so we got him. he is a sweetie.

a couple questions. the new puppy 'humps' my female dog (whos in heat)
should i allow that??
and the puppy grabs ahold of mollis fur and pulls it. molli has yelped a couple times. should i just let them sort it out?? i cant tell if molli likes him or not.

As far as the humping goes, theres really nothing you can do to stop that... its instinct kicking in, and yet ANOTHER reason why you should fix both animals asap!

all animals bite near the neck area or whatevr they can grab when they are hmpin or mating so they can keep there balance except rabbits dont do it thats prob why you havnt seen i before , umm id personally squirt him with a spray bottle or something when he tries to hump her and tell him no incase he dose in in the near futur and jessika getting him nutered wont stop him from humping i know male dogs that are fixed and still hump she also said she has enough money for him and molli to be fixed, but it dose help and by squirting it stops him from doing it when hes older and nutered. congrads on your new pup lol steal ur cam from your dad so you can take pictures

I never said it WOULD stop him from humping, but it WILL stop the urges to do so. If she isn't in heat, he won't want to hump her. Likewise if HE get neutered it will greatly reduce the chances of him roaming or wanting to roam if there is a female in heat nearby.

On the completely opposite end though, humping is not only a sign of "horniness" but a sign of dominance. Since he is new he might try humping her to display dominance. I know Jamie humped Charlie at first and they're just getting used to each other. Neither one has humped the other since they've been fixed, and now that they've gotten the dominance straightened out and know each other.
