Bear has been lifting since he was a young pup. He can stand in the middle of the yard and hike his leg way up there.

Sumo lived until 8 1/2 and never once lifted unless he was up against a bush, and then it wasn't a real lift.

I swept up a small pile of leaves this morning. It's all I can do today as I did too much yesterday....Boo Hoo, I have to find easy stuff to do. Buddy thought he should water my leaves...Just for good luck I guess.

and he might fall over, poor boy

normally Jr and Bent squat UNLESS there is a new foster dog in the house or they are out and there are other dogs around. Then they show off and lift their legs and do the chicken scratch.

Normal day to day peeing is done in a squat.

He isn't neutered and loves to mark everything on our walks. He still squats sometimes, which I think is weird. Guess it depends on his mood.

Zeena my female pug is almost as good as the boys for lifting.
all three pugs also hump each other too..
this is really a marking territory thing for sure with the pugs
Gus personally I think can not be bothered..lol
lazy is a good point..might be why Gus doesn't..

so far does not seem to be that many that do it
yes and my pugs are markers big time..
and you are right
Gus is in charge in this house also
maybe he does not feel a need lift his leg.
he does not do it on walks either..EVER

Male dogs lift their legs to mark territory. A high mark means the dog is BIG. But, bulldogs know they are in charge. They don't have to prove anything to anyone.

(In other words, they are comfortable and confident.)

Woof!

he is very picky where that spot is too..
maybe it not that odd not too... I guess for a male bulldog..NOT to lift their legs.

If they fall over I bet that put an end to lifting as well..lol
they have come close to falling over a number of times..

If Hank feels lazy (which is most of the day) he will just squat. He will lift his leg when the other three girls are out with him. My female miniature pinscher Penny will absolutely lift both back legs off of the ground, but Delilah my little chocolate miniature pinscher lifts hers

Bulldogs...its an obsession!
Where's da remote control?

Usually, if he is in a very public setting or when he's feeling especially jaunty. However, in the backyard and the privacy of his own home, he just "cops a squat".

most of the time he doesn't. Usually only does it after he comes back from day care.

We had a cocker spaniel once that tried to lift his leg for the first time on a cold icy day. He fell over, and never tried again!

I have never seen a female do it until the little pug that I have here.
she is almost as good as the boys at it..
but poor Gus feels very out of place..
I just shake me head and tell me that is not the norm Gus

my Cocker Spaniel Floyd never, ever lifted his leg. He was a squater!

is cute to me, because squatting reminds me of when he was still a baby
