WAP,
Lifting the leg is supposedly a learned behavior. Funny, because my mom has a Chihuahua/Terrier mix that has ALWAYS lifted its leg, and yes, she's female.

I wonder if it's also a dominance thing? That little runt is definitely cock of the walk...

Perhaps a dominace thing. My two golden retrievers ( certified female) were horsing around with each other at the campground this summer . Anne , who usually takes the lead when they run free, totally flabberghasted me, by mounting her sister, like a male! Of course, i discouraged that behavior real quick. ...lol perhaps my anne is a female to male transsexual canine??? :p

What gets me though, is her tail usually hangs down, which is sign of submission, i have been told, yet she is the more dominant of the two. She is more demure and serious, compared to her sister.
