Dumb question

marbeen · 01-17-2012, 09:57 AM

I was wondering. My 10 wk old puppy's manhood is beginning to show more and more. Is this normal?

I am unsure of the maturity of puppies, so this may seem like a dumb question.

Thanks for the information.

Manhood, as in his testicles are descending? Humping? 'Red rocket?'

If it's that his testicles are descending into the sacs, that's normal. That's about when Ozzy's decided to 'come down.'

It's the red rocket. It's starting to show up when he is on his back and we are scratching his tummy.

I think that's normal, but not positive. I 'believe' Ozzy was doing that when he was a pup, but it was mostly when he was uber excited, like when I come home. (He still does it....)

Yeah, just checked. Red rocket (kind of small at this juncture (not reflective of an adult - LOL)) is beginning to peek out. So, it is normal.

Very normal, but sometimes requires photoshop to not distract the eyes from a great pic of your dog sitting. LOL

Ah yes, the wonderful world of GSDs, they just know when a picture is about to be taken and get "excited." Get used to him just sitting there with it out.

Very normal.

Do you have any ideas of how many great pics of my boy that I have had to crop because his is out alot! lol

Normal for all stages of age in males.

This is exactly why I have a female. Half joking.
