dogs grooming each other??

hey guys laugh all ye want but i have to ask this question??

i was out walking the boys earlier and it started raining on the way back... so when i got back i dried them off as best i could and packed their box in the run with loads of straw... happy out as asways with the fresh bed... i have them trained to sit (5 months ol aint bad ) so then the start licking each other clean.. ya cats do it but two staff brothers?? seriously???

my 2 are always licking eachother espeacially if they have had a bath or something like that x

Couldn't comment case I only have 1, but that sounds so cute

ok their 5 months old so ill agree it sounds cute but it was my dad who pointed it out to me a few days ago and this happeed when they were just sitting on the decking in the baking sun??/ is this a common thing??

Its not a problem at all and is quite comman. I would watch they dont get to obsessive with it though. My ty can get quite obsessed with licking kaos's ears and can make them really sore and bleed (although its usually the first sign of another ear infection 4 kaos). x

i would consider it a problem more so just me been curious but thanks for ure input blaze.. are u two boys aswell?? related??

Mine are always licking each other's ears, eyes, faces etc. Its sweet makes you go 'Awwwww'

Yea they are both boys, no not related.....as far as i no lol. Ty was a rescue at 6 months now nearly 2 and Kaos was rescued privatley at 11 weeks now 1 x

Till always is trying to groom me lol.

We have 3 dogs, only 1 the youngest is a Staffie and they have always groomed each other, its a group thing, they would groom us too if we let them
The first time our older dogs groomed Polly she hated it but they were determined she was going to have a clean face and ears, now she loves it and grooms them back. It's not a problem or a bad thing for them to do, its natural.

My lot are always grooming comforting each other, its a sign of affection the who starts the grooming is usually the more submissive and more affectionate.

its funny you say that cause its both who would start it different times obviously i know their 5 months but theres no sign of either one being the dominant one. Their fed serperately and if anyone is the dominant one its me ha \\\\\\\\m/

My old rottie cross was the boss of our dogs but he was the one who would often decide the others needed a wash Now its our JR cross who thinks he is the boss who starts the grooming. I don't think he is going to be able to pin Polly down for too much longer though
