I got my dog fixed but......?

Question

I got my dog fixed before her first cycle about 3 months ago, this morning there was a dog in our yard trying to hump her and she wouldn't let him, she would get mad and jump back, is she in Heat? I thought that when you fix dogs, the don't let off that "I'm in heat" smell anymore...please help

Answer 1

Dogs don't only hump dogs that are in heat. ;) We had two male dogs (RB now) that would hump eachother all the time. Often the humping is actually a sign of dominance, not a sexual behavior. Another dog humping your dog does not mean your dog is in heat (can't be if she's spayed anyway).
