Question
I have a male year old chihuahua who people often say is gay. he does  act a little girly at times. but he loves to hump stuffed animales. i am not trying to breed him w/ a female but he seems to scared whats wrong w/ him?

Answer
It sounds like he's coming into sexual maturity, hence the humping of his toys. if he was humping other dogs, then I would think it was a dominance issue. He's awfully young as well. Some dogs are different, they have different characters. if you really think that something's wrong with him, then you can take him to the vet for a check up, and see if he has a thyroid problem, or a hormone imbalance.
