Why is it that some dogs like to mount peoples' legs, while other dogs find no interest in doing this?

Was gonna say, maybe it depends if you have nice legs or not...but this site might help :) http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_canine_neuter.html Jan 25 05, 2:32 PM

For dogs, this can be not only a sexual issue but a dominance one and most dog experts feel that any dog who does this should be discouraged. Neutering prevents an estimated 70% of dogs who mount legs from doing it in the future, but the trait can be common among female dogs who have been neutered. Strangely some dogs have a preference for arms rather than legs. Jan 25 05, 8:12 PM

My Irish Terrier Reilly mounts pillows, and the late Rufus (Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier - not a hooman!) used to have a go at my legs, not a pretty sight - but the funniest sight I've seen was Gemma, my daughter's Australian Cattle Dog, having a go at Reilly. Both male dogs were castrated, but the vet tells me that testosterone is secreted from other glands than those things (I've forgotten what they are called.) I once owned a very mixed up American Cocker Spaniel who was a complete hermaphrodite. Won't go into details, but her/his reproductive organs ended up in Qld University. Jan 26 05, 3:57 AM

Why do dogs bark like crazy at each other? In which film can you find the words 'In a word: pleasure. It's like, my pleasure in other peoples's leisure'? Where in one place would you find 626 human beings, 202 horses, 55 dogs, 505 other assorted animals, 49 trees, 37 buildings, and 41 ships? In Chinese cooking where would one find the hearts of wolves and/or the lungs of dogs?
