Don't dogs do some of the strangest things? Rolling in feces, though, is really very common. Possibly a dog's ancient instinct to mask his scent, which would then enable the animal to sneak up on their prey without detection. Even if your dog does not hunt, she may not like the way that she smells-especially if you've just given her a bath! Or she just likes the smell of the feces.
But since the smell of poop is not as pleasing to your family as it is to your dog, I have a few suggestions:
1) You might keep her on a leash so that she can't roll in other dog's poop.
2) Pick up her poop up in the yard as soon as she does it.
3) You could also try pairing something unpleasant with her actions of rolling in poop, such as squirting her with a water bottle. OR a blast from one of those personal safety device airhorns (your neighbors might not appreciate this). OR get a citronella spraying collar with a remote spray capability. Dogs strongly dislike the smell of citronella, and this spray comes from the collar, under their chin and up toward their nose.
Most any dog likes to roll in any feces, be it a dogs or not. I can't say exactly why they do it, but the main theory is either an old instinct to hide scent for hunting, or to advertise to the rest of the pack.
female look them after and male defend them
Well if your going to get another dog, you should always get the dog of the different sex. They get along better. A female and a female or a male and a male may get competative over each other. Hope this helps!!! : )
Often, a male dog is protective of the pregnant female dog, usually if he is the "mate." Sometimes dogs, mates of the pregnant dog or not, will act aggressivley towards the female dog, also known as the "bitch."
keep them separated You can neuter them.
Grinding, or humping in male and female dogs is often more of a way to show dominance rather than being sexual in nature. If you female is humping people or other dogs, she's saying ' hey, I'm the alpha over you, you better submit to me'
Of course just watch the female tease the male when shes ready she will dance all over the place.
Most male dogs who have not been spay or neutered have dominant personalities. Just like marking their territory, urinating on an object shows dominance over it. I recommend Ceasar Milans 'Be the Pack Leader' or 'How to Raise a Perfect Dog,' these are incredible tools that offer's great insight into a dogs personality and tendencies.
it is to show dominance over the other dog.
sexuality is not binary (male/female) it is a wide continuous spectrum from male (psyche) with male parts (anatomy) over male with female parts to female with male parts and female with female parts and even male & female psyches with male and female anatomy!
No, there is a condition called XXY where it is a cross over of male and female. Other than that, yes male and female are the standard.
If you are referring to the humping behavior seen in dogs, not related to male-to-female mating, it is honestly not what you think. In dogs and other mammals, it is nothing more than a dominant gesture. Dogs are not perverted, it is simply a strange dog term. "I'm over you, I'm dominant over you," is what it means.
All Snails Have female and male parts all over there bodies, so they are female and male.
