Bitch urine in season NOT totally confirmed!
Jan 1 2008, 2:15 PM EST Although in this experiment the intact male dog was diverted by the scent of urine, this is NOT a reason to confirm this myth. Unfortunatley several fatal dog attacks have occured because of a bitch in season. This scent can actually increase the aggressive tendencies of an intact male. Infringing on his territory while he scents a bitch gives a male MORE reason to guard his territory as now his basic primal insticts will emerge, protecting his rights to the bitch. I believe that this myth should have been more thouroughly investigated, especially because of the documented fatalities due to intact male dogs reacting because of a bitch in season. I disagree, this myth is not confirmed and it is dangerous to imply that it may be. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jan 1 2008, 5:31 PM EST I'm not a dog expert, but I can certainly agree with the theory that a bitch in heat makes a dog go a bit insane. Mine starts chewing up all the kids' toys if he can't get outside, just generally unruly. Do you find this valuable? |
