What Do These Behaviours Mean?

[ruthless]

This isn't a big deal at all, but I'm really interested in canine behaviours and I was wondering what these things, that Chopper does, mean!

1. Presenting his manhood!

He'll walk up to any of the other three dogs and sit really close with his legs open so they can lick his dick.

2. Running to the laundry door if Ivan starts walking towards it

We've an open plan kitchen/living/dining area. Because it's cold at the moment we close over the door to the hall and the door to the laundry to keep the heat in. They're louvre doors, so they don't shut properly. Ivan only sits in the room with us if he thinks there's a slight chance that he might get food. As soon as he realises it's a futile exercise he gets up to go to his bed in the laundry. Often Chopper will jump off his bed in the lounge and run in front of the laundry door before Ivan gets there. He never actually challenges him. He just sits there until we call him away. It's not that he needs to go out, given the option he doesn't want to.

I presume # 1 is submission and # 2 is challenging the bigger older dog. I'm confused though cause he regularly rolls over and submits to Ivan.

sorry can't stop laughing.

Chopper is the baby is he?

He was for a long time but Trixie is now

I've another one to add ...

When playing fetch with Chopper and Angel, if Angel ever manages to outrun Chopper and catch the ball she'll run nearly all the way back to me and then drop it for Chopper to bring the rest of the way!

I knew two dogs who lived together who used to do exactly that. The would run for the ball together, but Dog A would always get the ball. Even if Dog B got their first, she'd leave it for Dog A. Then they run back to the handler together. About five metres out, Dog A would drop the ball in front of Dog B and Dog B would drop it at the feet of the handler. They never deviated from this routine. Dog A was generally the Alpha.

But the way, I'm also still laughing at the dog who presents his dick to be licked.
