Can a male dog hump a female dog and still penetrate if they are both fixed?

Yes. Only the testicles on the male have been removed, not the penis. Penetration will still happen, as the male dog can still maintain an erection. There is just no sperm production. Indeed, neutered male dogs can maintain an erection, penetrate a female and actually achieve orgasm, and will "tie" with the female. Most neutered males are less interested in sex due to lowered testosterone levels, but still capable of all the actions. They simply do not produce sperm and cannot impregnate a female.


Why do your 2 male dogs hump each other?

The humping from your female dog is not about sex, it is about dominance. She is probably trying to establish dominance. Chances are she is trying to be the lead dog or take Alpha position. It is not unusual for your male dog to "mark" his territory and the dominant or Alpha female to mark over the same spot your male just marked at, even if they have to raise their leg to do it. However, one must be established as the dominant figure and if the male is much larger it might be a good idea to let the female be Alpha. You can help this by feeding the female first, hooking up her leash or collar first and greeting her first. This may help push the female toward being Alpha but in the end the dogs will establish the pecking order.


Why does your male dog hump but female does not give in?

Humping behavior in dogs is not always related to sexual behavior; it can also be a sign of excitement, playfulness, or a way to assert dominance. Female dogs may not give in to humping because they are not interested in the behavior being displayed by the male dog, or they may assert their boundaries more strongly. It's important to monitor and manage this behavior to ensure all dogs are comfortable and safe.


Will a male dog hump a female dog if she is preagnet?

Male dogs may still attempt to mount a pregnant female dog due to instinctual behavior, but if the female is far along in her pregnancy, she may not be receptive to mating. It's best to supervise and separate the dogs if necessary to prevent any stress or potential harm.
