now dont laugh but ive always had bitches before , but whilst on holiday with my dogs my young neutered lab mix was the source of constant attention and consequence mounting by a large number of dogs whilst my neutered bitch was totally ignored, it got to the stage we had to put him back on the lead as he was getting quite(understandably) stroppy with al the attention.All the othter dogs owners were really apologectic but as soon as one dissappeared over the horizon along came a new dog who starifgt away made straight for sam, give him a quick sniff(not of the bottom varierty But his 'undercarrage) and off it all started again and again.
Has anyone got any ideas or is this quite normal.

This is quite a common side-effect of castration I'm afraid. The vet may be able to put him on replacement testosterone to make him less attractive to other males. Sorry I can't suggest anything else.

He doesn't smell like a male so they mount him. My friend has 2 of my pupppies (met them due to the pups) and when they come to visit my dogs always mount the fixed one. I always felt so sorry for Copper and we wouldn't allow it but the minute you turned around they were all jumping him even my fixed male. :(
Poor boy :(

HRT will help with the problem but there are side effects, so unless you have intact dogs yourself I would not go down that way. If you do have dogs yourself you will have to or you will finnish up having fights.
Hi dawnbee, we have had similar encounters as our lad is castrated too. I find its only would be dominant individuals who actually try to mount Morse. When he was younger it didnt bother him ( maybe he was experimenting), but now he either runs or defends his back end and usually it's sorted without a fight. The really dominant dogs round here dont do it. It can be upsetting to see especially for little kids but its just dogs.

Since my neighbour had her black lab castrated he has been the source of unwanted attention from my male springer. Every time he visits I see my dog get that 'glint' in his eye that appears when he sniffs a bitch in season (he knows what to do by the way) and I witness the start of his 'flirtation routine'. We have tried 'bitch spray' on him as that does work to some extend with our bitch, to no avail. We used to be able to happily keep all the dogs in one house but no longer since all their behaviour seems to revolve around sniffing and drooling at his 'undercarriage'!
