Ignore it for the most part. It is just a male thing (and sometimes even a female thing!) It is a dominance issue. Likely, they are trying to show each other who is boss. This is actually better than aggression when trying to establish dominance! At least no one gets hurt...and they seem to enjoy it, lol.
Since I brought Andy the foster into my home a few days ago, Barley (intact 1 year old) Micah (intact 9 month old) and Andy (neutered 13 year old) have been humping each other left and right. It is their way of establishing the hierarchy in a male triangle. In your case, the pup is just starting to reach sexual maturity and the older one is starting to feel a bit "threatened" by that. Of course, it may be embarrassing if company is over...lol Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is. ----- Original Message ----- From: parrotgatormandy To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 8:35 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Humping Problem hi everyone i have to chiuahuas both male one 2 years Magnum and gator 6months.
