is this a problem?

just wondered how long George is going to continue to stoop to wee ...hes a year old next month and shows no sign of cocking his leg up !
i dont suppose its a problem - im just curious , comparing him to my previous dogs..... hes showing no interest at all of marking his territory
is he just a late developer or is it a staffy thing?
thanks

Axl is nearly three and he doesn't cock his leg he squats nothing to worry about

I wouldn't worry

I think they all click at different ages. Whatever works is fine I guess.

Now you mention it our male staffy was probably over one before he cocked his leg. I never thought anything of it at the time - thought it was just him. So maybe it is a staffy thing? The only other male dog I have had was an EBT and am sure he started at a few months old...

My previous staffie never cocked his leg - his sister did though lol! And my female that I have now cocks her leg too. Funny things

Axl started to cock his leg once it kind of went up a bit then he got this panicked look on his face and put it down again I think it scared him lol now he just squats like a girl but he's not too bright anyway lol

Hahaha bless him!

thanks everyone for your reassurance
o really laughed bout your females rachel

OMG they are the spitting image of each other George is a very handsome boy That would explain the cocking the leg thing if he's related to Axl

Bo was about 5 months when he started cocking his leg. The second time he took ages to position himself just right next to a tree but when he lifted his leg he lost his footing and fell into the ditch. He didn't try again for another fortnight.

I had a Lab that never cocked his leg always squatted I think its just something that some dogs do.

Cheers

my other half has a guide dog tht only cocks his leg when in his metal run suppose they go through things at different stages it doesn't matter whether they cock their leg or not

marley did his first cocked leg at 5 months but now seems to alternate. if there is nothing to wee up he squats and if there is something he generally misses...terrible aim lol

Peppa usually squats but I've seen her cocking her leg few times for better aim when she wants to wee on something .

Haha Milo does both....depends how lazy he feels or whether he wants to give his front legs a shower - yuk  . He's not very good at aiming.

Haha they are so funny.

I heard that is was something to do with the amount of male/female siblings they have. If there are more girls the boys see them squatting and copy. If there are more boys the girls see them cocking their legs and the same thing happens? Not sure if thats true!

Vins a right cocker lol! the higher he can get his leg the better! nah nothing to worry about they are all different
