I have always wondered this. We have a 11yo golden retriever. Some years ago we tried to breed him with a friends *****. He took no interest, even when he was shut in the kennel with her 2 nights running!! Yet when we used to have another golden retreiver he was quite happy to try and hump that (but he was also a male??!!). Therefore i have come to the conclusion that he must be gay...... do we reckon this is at all possible??!!

That's hiliarous but I guess it is possible. Or perhaps your dog is confused about his sexuality???? Look on the bright side if your is gay then its good because you won't have to worry about it getting female dog pregnant.

Humping on another male is not a sexual behavior it is a dominance behavior.
Dogs are not gay. Gay is a human thing.
People try to apply human emotions and feeling to animals.
They are just not like that and do not really think like that.
Dogs understand pack order and live by the pack rules of who is in charge and learn to live according to their place in the pack.
They breed when the alpha female wants to breed and only then other wise humping is just a show of who is dominant.

Homosexuality is an un-natural practice generally not found in animals only humans. Your dog's behaviour is a sign of friendship. Animals don't use sex for fun as humans do but for procreation, generally during the mating season in Springtime. At other times sex has little or no interest to them so what your dog showed was two things;
1 The dog you tried to breed him with wasn't interesting to him. Perhaps it had been recently shampooed or had another Dog's scent on it
2 The male dog smelled 'friendly' and your dog was showing his own friendship, possibly demonstrating a sign of his dominance if he was a bigger or stronger dog.
I wouldn't worry about his apparent homosexual behaviour. Dogs don't do that.

Most dogs are bisexual.
To breed you need to know how to do it properly. If you really want it to work here is how (if it fails, your dog is officially gay or doesnt have interest at all in sex):
1. Wait till "she" is in the right momment;
2. Rub a little piece of cloth on her sexual...
3. Let your dog smell the little piece of cloth
4. Let them loose a while
5. If not working repeat the cloth part once or twice
If taking to long then your dog has a problem.

UGH!!! Your dog isnt gay. Humping is a show of domaniance. When you catch 2 males, one humping the other, he is showing the other dog he is the alpha male. He wouldnt mate, even thos he was locked in with a female? Well, some dogs are like people. CHOOSY!!

Defiantly I've been brought up with Golden retrievers being our family pet since i was young and have had the same thought, maybe it's a retriever thing?

one, there are numerous species, human beings and apes included, which exhibit homosexual behavior.
two, what makes you think that, just because a male dog is locked in with female dog, either would be attracted to the other? if you were locked in a cell with rodney dangerfield, should we be planning a baby shower?
third, if he indeed were to chase his pink tennis ball on the other side of the fence, is that really so bad? as a loving parent, shouldn't his happiness be your first priority, your source of happiness, regardless of what rolls up his lipstick?

Yes, I had a pekingese supposedly bought for stud but he took no interest in the bitches presented to him, nothing!!!....but in the park he would often seek out the company of male strangers and they seemed to be very enthusiastic about him too... if you know what I mean.

All animals can be gay except for animals that are asexual. I once saw a show where two male kidnapped a female falcons baby so they could raise it as their own and have a family-- cute, huh? lol

Yes I think your dog is gay...
I had a bull like that, we had it in a paddock with 30 hefers for 4 months... he only serviced 3 of them, and they were nice hefers!! So what got another bull and he got the job done and then helped our neighbours cows out!

Homosexuality in animals is common. I had a pair of male cats like that once. Do a search online, you'll find all kinds of similar stories. Hmmmm, if it happens in animals, do they "choose" to be gay? If it occurs in animals as well as humans, is it a natural phenomenon?
