QUOTE(Candy&Vincent)
if i plan to breed the dog, get child for them....then, will the male always hump the female??? or will only happen during the female on heat time?
Coz i know i will be sad when Wilbur and Wawa get older and leave me cry.gif ....so, if there have child, i still can remember their face mah....
I have to say that breeding is so much more than just getting a puppy to keep...you would also have to consider the mother's care before, during, and after pregnancy, the cost of *knock on wood* a Caeserean birth (yes, there really is for dogs), and the OTHER pups that are born just to name a few. It's fine to keep just one of their pups, but what about the rest? Can you afford to keep them all if you can't find homes for them? If there are genetic defects from the birth, what will you do with the pups? That you would need to seriously consider (and possibly do some reading on it) before embarking on breeding.
But then, Wilbur is still very young, so I guess you have plenty of time to consider it all

Humping is not necessarily sexual all the time...I've seen Kenji (my sister's Chihuahua) humping my Scottie quite some times already. He does it to show he's dominant over Scottie. Most of the time though, if it IS sexual, it will be during the heat cycles...it will depend on the female herself if she wants to allow the male to mate, so you would need to keep an eye on them. Of course, neutering Wilbur would help eliminate the problem coz they would not have the urge already after neutering.
