  Some males don’t even do the leg lift and still just squat.

    I have a 110lbs beast of a mutt. Cujo like even, except he doesn’t try to kill me. He squats like a female dog and it makes him much less scary.

    if you own a female dog you can tell the difference between the pee and poop by the arch of the back. A male dog doing a puppy pee also looks different. Its possible female dog owners can tell easier.

  Nope unless you see them pee.

  nonsense

  People are wrong about the sex of dogs all the time. they don’t care

  people can be wrong about what is 8+7, that doesn’t mean it is impossible to tell what the result is.

    I don’t really get your comment. the dog and generally owner usually around me do not care if you call a girl dog a boy or a boy dog a girl. that is all I meant. it had nothing to do with accuracy on the don’t care part.

      point of my comment is: “you are wrong. it is possible to tell sex of a dog. whether some people around you are wrong all the time is no proof one way or the other.”

        youu know the thing is I took the op’s comments to be like in general. I did not mean to suggest its impossible just that most people don’t from a distance without something that would make it more obvious.

  One of my female dogs squats, sometimes she squats while lifting a leg, the other lifts her leg, and very rarely squats.

    I kinda would like to see that.

  unless you see them pee

  You mean see/not see the “pebbles”?

  Or do they tend to pee differently? I know dogs typically pee by raising one leg, but sometimes they just crouch by both back legs and just release. Is this what you mean?

  I vaguely recall when I was a teen we had a dog (he/him, and a mutt) and he would usually do the “this lamp post is mine now” pee but when he really needed to go he would just crouch and leave a big puddle.

    Generally speaking, male dogs tend to lift a leg to pee while the females tend to squat. It’s nowhere near foolproof, of course, but you can usually say for sure that a dog is male if it’s lifting a leg. That said, I know plenty of male dogs that squat, or do the “lazy lift” where you can’t quite tell. So y’know…

      i … i don’t know how i left you with the impression that i can’t tell poo from pee. … i must have done something horribly wrong. 🤣

      Actually I think for pretty much all mammals it’s as easy as telling liquid the difference between liquid and solid.

        with a female dog its a bit hard to tell. At night I often have to check the area she was in just in case. So if you see them pee then you know the sex. I was not commenting on your ability to. You know I sorta took your question to be a general thing. Like can people in general. I had someone comment like I was making a definitive statement about the human capacity to tell the sex of a dog at a distance.
