Male Dobe won't leave new girls "bits" alone!!

Hello All,

My new dobe puppy came home yesterday and is proving a total delight the only thing is that my year old male dobe is constantly trying to lick her "bits" and even sort of went into the rutting position.

Should I be concerned?

Any advice on how to stop him or will she just put him in his place when she's a bit bigger?

Thanks
Sue

I think it's an important part of that "getting to know you" routine. (Luckily we shake hands!)

I certainly wouldn't worry about it so early on in the new relationship.

Thank you for that reply

They are getting on so well it's just I feel for her when she is happily playing with him and WOOPS he flips her over with his nose !!!!

lol at the "we shake hands bit"

My dobe does it to our terrier bitch -sometimes while shes eating her tea
As she's only a pup she'll smell quite strongly -have she been washed ? we found that helped

sounds quite normal to me ....hope all continues to go well

Suki goes for her brother's bits - tries to bite them urgh

I think it's just what dogs do! Just wait, won't take her long to get her own back!!! If she's anything like my little lady she'll soon demonstrate how fiesty she can be (I'm convinced that male dobes are much quieter than the girls).

lol I think I would have to agree with you, she was only home a few hours before she stole Zeus' treat and what's more hung on to it dangling mid air before he gave up and let her have it

I'm hoping to get pics up in a couple of days, she's beautiful

oooh I can't wait to see her - what's her name?

give him time it will settle down.
or give her a bath so it the smells she has on her won't be as strong.
and hurry up with the pics!

My male was like that with our bitch from day 1 almost constntly trying to lick her girly bits to the point I find it annoying, hes just as bad now its never calmed down but she doesn't seem to mind.
