Rhonda Parkin Webboard User Reg: 12-15-2007 Posts: 143 Loc: New Zealand, Auckland Offline	I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but here goes. Our dog Max is not neutered, and our friends (with a male dog) who we sometimes go on walks or to the beach with have just gotten a new female pup. Now the one and only time they met (so far) Max sort of 'got into position' if you know what I mean. We stopped it and put him in his crate for the rest of the visit so we don't know exactly what he would have done if we hadn't stepped in. We have no idea if he would have just 'humped' to show dominance or if he would have gone for it for real. Can anyone help with some insight on what may happen? She wasn't in heat and it's no problem keeping them apart - he doesn't need dog friends, it's just nice for us. Plus being a first time dog owner I have no clue on stuff like this.

I doubt he would have "gone all the way" as even for animals it has to be learned which requires the help and compliance of the female. Stopping the behavior was good
