I have a really soft teddy bear the size of my 4 month old puppy and when Isabella found the stuffed bear she started humping it like you would see a boy dog do. IS that normal? Has anyone seen a female dog do this? I am sure she is a female and she has been to the vet atleast 4 times and they haven't said anything to me about her being a boy. Today is the first I seen this but shes been doing it all day!

Humping is not a boy behavior. Neither is marking. All dogs can do these behaviors. Humping can be a play behavior, status-seeking behavior, or sexual. If you don't like it interrupt her and redirect her to something else. If it is specific to one toy, remove the toy.

Nikki did that when she was a puppy. I don't believe it was a mating thing. She outgrew it quickly. Both males and females do that.

I'm sorry, but this sentence just tickled me. :HistericalSmiley:
