Marking

[Guest jvandover]

Growing up we always had dogs, and most of my experiences were the same. Male dogs mark, and females pee once, maybe twice on a walk, and that is it.

 

Well, Lovie is a a female Greyhound (duh ) and she marks... sometimes. She sometimes only pees once or twice, but typically will go "a couple tablespoons" 4-5 times per walk!

 

Does any one else have experience on male vs female dogs marking?

Beth also marks like crazy whenever the conditions are at all conducive.

I've only had Kattan (male grey) a couple weeks, so it could change, but so far, Meeve (female) does mark out on walks (pees one full time but then always seems to have some in reserve for 4-8 marks, even lifting her leg and sort of squatting to do it), and Kattan does not at all. Meeve is definitely an alpha female though.

Oh yes...Gracie is a big time marker. sniff...pee...sniff...pee...by the time we get back she can't possibly have a drop left.

I think Brucie can mark 15 - 20 times per walk. Makes for long walks. Bumper let's it all out once, maybe twice. No experience with female hounds...

[Guest happygrey]

Yup! He sure does! We joke and say that he's got a spare bladder just for it.

The only place Bella goes excessively is at the dog park. Poo and pee. She pooped so many times that a man there asked if our dog was sick.

I have two females. One marks, one doesn't.

Arrisa marks. She can go 5-10 times on a short walk.

 

Fortunately, she knows that when I take her out in the yard for a "real" pee I expect more than just a little tinkle!

We often call Asta "Little Miss Marker" on walks. She really goes to town when we take a neighborhood route she hasn't been on in a while. Also, in the last couple of years, she seems to do more precise aiming, kinda like a boy.
