Question
i have a teacup poodle and on two occassions tried to mate him with toy girls.  he shows no interest in the females in heat.  he humps a toy and has humped on a boy dog!! HELP! how can i get him to mount.

Answer
Hi. Is your boy old enough? Sometimes, when they're very young, they have no clue what to do. As for the humping another male dog, that is usually a dominance thing. If he's showing no interest what so ever in females in heat, then you need to take him to the vet and have him checked out. He may have a hormone or thyroid problem that can be fixed. If he does, you need to ask your vet if he thinks that the dog should be bred with such a problem. Good luck!
