Oh brother. Yes, animals can also become confused. My female dog will often mount other dogs. Dog people will say that this is a display of dominance, and not sexuality, but maybe she is just a lesbian. Who do we make the check out to for 'discovering' this?
My sons dog will mount anything that's handy, other dogs, cats, chairs, people. He doesn't discriminate. I think he's just a horny old dog.
"My female dog will often mount other dogs."
I think you answered you own question without knowing it.
Of course it is a sign of dominance. She's got nothing to hump with. What do you think being the "underdog" is all about. The one at the bottom of the hump pile.
Without the thrill of submission the only thing she gets for her effort is a kink in the back.
Please send me money, $10's and $20's will do. None of them sequential.
Our neutered alpha female terrier humps our son but never me. Thanks for finally explaining why. Other than that, she has a tendency to go for the neighbors' kneecaps, and pick fights with neighborhood dogs of all genders and sizes...
