One question really.....why is she doing this?

We're dog sitting for a few days and she keeps cocking her leg to have a wee. I've not seen a female dog do this before.
 
Yep some girls do it and my boy sits down to pee so its just what ever takes their fancy.

I had a girl who didn't like getting her butt anywhere near the floor so when she peed she cocked her leg and when i asked for sit she would like hover sit.

It's just a sign of a dominant bitch. Lots do it.

Maybe that's why she just rejected the amorous advances of Jasper then!
 
my jrt will actually pee doing a hand stand on front paws

Daisy does this too - she's not dominant but does look to Josh for most aspects of canine behaviour and obviously believes this is the correct procedure LOL!
 
Yup its a dominance thing, its not a case of males only pee with a cocked leg!

In a canine pack there is an alpha dog and an alpha bitch, alpha bitch will also cock her leg to pee!
