    Quite unusual if this is the case. As Isabel said the males have HAVE to mark! My Marlin is guaranteed to water any and all vertical items: stop signs, utility poles, trees, even a person's legs if they stand still in one place too long!

    It could be a problem, as if they don't drink enough they may develop crystals / bladder stones.

    You can increase his fluid intake by adding some vegetable or chicken broth to his food daily. Not more than 1/4 cup.

    Both Katie and Zack are the same way. They seem to rarely go outside to pee. They go out twice at the most. There are plenty of times that Zack will only go out once. Katie has pretty much been that way as a pup. Since I adopted Zack as an adult I don't really know if that was the case for him. I often wonder how they manage to hold it for so long. They are both good and healthy dogs so I don't really worry about it.

    I would love to see some pictures of Jasper!

    It seems odd to me... my dogs pee every couple hours normally. I mean they can hold it for a long time, but they do every time we go out. Maybe he is peeing while walking and you just don't notice? My boxer boy doesn't take the time to stop and pee, he just pees. lol My boy Sam has to stop and mark like 20 times (even when there is no pee left!) every time we go out.
    I would ask your vet about it. I guess maybe it could be normal for certain dogs.
