I caught my boxer trying to "woohoo" my wolf. I yelled at him and he hauled butt. He is smart but he is an a**. He knows right from wrong, he knows not to do wrong if we are looking, so now that he knows this is wrong he will not let me catch him again. But If I get him fixed will he still try to act like a male with her? I'm not getting her fixed, she is my sweet baby.

She is pure timber wolf and yes I do intend to breed her, just not at a young age as she is. Maybe after her second litter I'll fix her.
He will be a year next month. And no they weren't actually "locked", she was laying on her side playing with the cat. Both dogs stay inside except playtime and car rides. So I'm not worried about other dogs trying to impregnate her, I'm worried about my 3 year old daughter watching him, however he has never done anything like this before tonite.

Yes and no, if it's dominance and not sexual, neutering him won't change it. But if it is sexual and she was in heat, in that case neutering would probably stop it. If she was in heat, they probably would have been tied, which makes me think this may have been a dominance behavior you witnessed. But you sound pretty dominant yourself, if you are the alpha in the house, he may stop if he knows you won't allow it.

Yes your boxer will likely still mount your female wolf. Canines are creatures of habbit. Regardless if he knows it's wrong the urge to breed is an instinct born into the him. Unless he is an AKC registered Boxer that closely conforms to the breed standard I suggest he be fixed anyway.
Why do you want to keep your wolf intact? Do you intend to breed her in the future? Unless this is the case it is your best interest to have her spayed. This procedure has been proven to extend the life of some dogs and decreases the possibility of some health problems.
The only dogs that should remain intact are those that are breeding quality. Anyone serious about breeding should know the breed standard of there pet. I also believe that it's important to attend or even better participate in showing your bet prior to becoming a breeder. This will give you a solid backround in what the ideal version of the breed looks like. Over breeding of dogs is a problem avoid it unless you are willing to take in all the dogs that result from a breeding.

If the actual incontrovertible actuality that "turning your canine right into a sissy" through neutering him bothers you, evaluate the actual incontrovertible actuality that you will be eliminating wellbeing complications and complications for him down the line. Testicular maximum cancers is less than no circumstances uncommon down the line. the only reason a male must be saved intact is fairly for breeding applications. yet until eventually he's fairly an stunning specimen and also you imagine he can make a tremendous contribution the the breed, there extremely are sufficient Boxers available already. also cut back your probabilities of him marking interior the domicile or operating off because he received't be in search of a mate.

The best thing you can do for your dogs is get them fixed. Dogs that are fixed have less of a chance of health problems. For female dogs having them fixed actually lowers the chance of some forms of cancers. It is better for them. If you don't have a breeder dog then you need to fix both. The answer to your question though is yes he will continue to hump maybe less often but they are still male and will act like it.

Be kind to him, he is only doing what comes naturally. Most often once a male dog is neutered they will discontinue this behavior, but no guarantees. I have two male dogs (neutered) around three females, not yet spayed but they will be. Neither dog has ever tried to "ride" the females.
Yet, one of the female dogs will, as you say, try to "woohoo" the other female!
Seems strange but this happens sometimes....

Your boxer may continue to try to mate with her, but it will probably be much less often, if at all. It is important to remember that your boxer may still have active sperm in his system for a while after the surgery so if the wolf is in heat, keep her away.

From my experience your male dog will still try to get at your female for at least 6 months after he his fixed. Vets told me that fixing my male would not settle him down, but it did with mine. He would grab on to your leg and go crazy before he was fixed, but months after he was fixed he wasn't even interested. Goodluck!

He isn't doing anything wrong, he's just doing what is natural to him and doesn't understand why you get upset with him for doing it.
And if she really is your sweet baby, care enough about her to have her spayed so she won't have to put up with this from every male dog around.

He may still try to mount but he will not get an erection. This is a dominant behavioral trait. Female dogs will also show similar behavior. Neutering will decrease the incidence and so will time.

One of them better get fixed or you're gonna have puppies regardless. It's not that he's a bad boy...he's just a dog! If you get him fixed....he probably will still try. Maybe not as much but he will.
