When does leg lifting start?

[My Peanuts]

My cousin's Westie was fixed before he started lifing his leg and he never did. I don't think it's a big deal.

Buster has never lifted his leg. I don't think it's a big deal to be honest.

Lots of male dogs never lift their legs when they pee. Cracker has never done it. He has a manly lean forward hehe. He was neutered at 6 months old. It's nothing to be concerned with and your dog may never do it. I actually prefer it as he doesn't pee all over everything and doesn't stop on walks to mark everything in sight.

Kaige is 9 months old, in tact & still doesn't lift his leg, hasn't even begun to try to either.
I wouldn't worry, personally I think it's a good thing, there's less of a chance for him to mark.

Tito never lifted his leg until we got Bella, and then when we ot Bo, Bella started lifting her leg too! LOL

When I adopted Buddy he was a year old and intact and never lifted his leg. Untill I had a male dog visit my yard and he lifted his leg to mark and ever since then Buddy has lifted his leg. I wish he never started because I spend a lot of time and money each Spring to replace flowers and plants he has killed by peeing on them.
But... I guess boys will be boys!!

a breeder freind had a male sibe that started lifting his leg at 10months and she also had a sibe that didn't start lifting until he was like 2yrs old!

when i had Maddy, my first sibe, she killed my yard within a few days! i got a bottel of GreenGrass from Petsmart. you can see it here.

my yard was back to normal in just about a week. i give them to my dogs before we go on a trip so we don't kill grass wherever we stay.
