Dirty stinky boys!

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

The pair of them are stinky and because they don’t cock yet, slightly wee covered! Bear is a hopeless role model, he doesn’t cock either, so they have no big boy to copy.

Picture of the (still small to me) creatures.

 

[Fools Motto]

Boys sprinkle, girls tinkle!
Still, rather have a slightly wee covered/aroma than that of a one whose rolled in something unmentionable!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

My older male still rarely cocks but has always been very clean. His daughter was much less fastidious ?

 

[some show]

Mine cocks but still manages to get it down the inside of his legs quite often - they are long legs, mind you!

 

[Moobli]

Probably not the deciding factor in future gender choices but definitely one to consider ?

 

[PapaverFollis]

At least they aren't cocking a leg on each other. *looks sternly at the grubby boys here*

 

[Nicnac]

Mine doesn't cock yet either - 8 months next week. I do trim the hair around his sprinkler though and find that keeps it less smelly.

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

I don’t imagine they ever will cock, Zak never did, Bear extremely rarely does so they’ve no-one to copy.

Mitch’s belly hair is forever crinkly! ? He is regularly wiped down. Goose isn’t as bad.

 

[Nicnac]

Ah - my first springer so good to know. I have been waiting for the leg to go up but so far squat seems ingrained. All my dogs to date have cocked, eventually. Typical boys - slower to mature than girls!

 

[Ceifer]

I remember my cocker witnessing another dog cocking his leg for the first time. It was like a revelation to him.
he makes me laugh because sometimes he cocks his leg so high up things he falls over ?

My lurcher cocks but seems to aim at his front legs ?

 

[Parrotperson]

Mine cocks his leg so high I often think he’ll fall over ??. He’s not quite six months. He’s cocked it for about a month already. But small breeds must find it easier I would imagine. Of course he thinks he’s a giant breed as do all JRTs. ?‍?

 

[Clodagh]

Scout spraddles. But he doesn’t pee on his fronts any more. He prefers badger poo as an Eau de parfum of choice ?

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

Mine are hitting their belly, Goose especially is quite low to the ground. Possibly not helped by extra long willy hair, presumably there to help stop an infection? As my dad would say, there’s some good eating on those legs!

 

[Clodagh]

That’s a pic for his birthday party ?

 

[AmyMay]

Jack doesn’t cock either, I thought it might have been because he was nuetered so you. Daisy does though ??

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

I don’t know if it’s related to neutering. I think usually they cock before the recommended age for neutering. Jake and Brig were cocking early on, way before the age for that. They were entire. Zak and Bear never cocked, despite having Brig as an example.

Every day is a learning day ?

Fortunately our long dog loves water and standing up to his belly in a fast flowing stream gets him smelling sweet again.

Purely observational, just what I’ve seen with my lot. I wonder if it’s genetic/breed specific? I could easily go down an Internet rabbit hole!

 

[Red-1]

Hector cocks. It means he can pee on his opposing front leg better as well as on haynets, people, etc etc.

Bar an accidental back end in the pond, they haven’t bee in water yet, although we’ve used the hot tub (clean water, no chemicals) for a bit of hydrotherapy! ? I can’t wait to go to the river with them!

 

[fiwen30]

Oh euw! Our lad is 11, and has never cocked. Neutered around 9 months by the rescue centre we got him from. He would cock briefly when regularly around an older border collie playmate, but I guess the novelty of showing off was too much work when he got home!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Mine is entire. Is 11.

ETA HD/ED normal/normal

 

[skinnydipper]

The only one of mine not to cock his leg had hip dysplasia, he stretched his body forward to pee.

I assumed it was because it was painful for him to balance on one back leg.

Pen does too! ?

 

[skinnydipper]

Pen does too! ?

I had bitches who would do that too, when they were covering the urine of another.

That’s Pen, she has to do her peemail. So unladylike!

 

[EventingMum]

Hobson puppy has been cocking his leg since about 15 weeks but he has the two older boys to copy. He gets very enthusiastic about it, trying to lift his let so high he almost topples over! My vet did say they liked them to be cocking before neutering.
