ok so my dog had babies about 2 months ago and we kept a boy and a girl puppy, well the boy dog we had before and still do have is well yeah...i think he's got problems. just today i found him humping the boy puppy.....i don't know what wrong with him! he even tries to hump the mom, the daughter, and the son!!! what do i do!?!?!?
Its most likely a dominence thing. My female dogs do it too. My 3 yr old lab humps on her 1 yr old pup as a dominence thing. Just tell them no and discourage it so they give you a more "pack leader" respect later in their life.
to much animal planet. 3 female dogs too...
It's very normal. It's like playing "King of the Mountain".
This is a dominance game to figure out what their place is in the pack or pecking order. He's a very assertive dog and if he keeps trying to hump mom, she'll put him in his place when she gets tired of it.
He shouldn't be challenging mommy till he's at least 6 months old. -!-

Ok, being as y'all don't understand dog behavior very much, breeding wasn't such a good idea.
Dogs hump for dominance, not sex. My advice is to spay and neuter all animals, and research dog behavior.
And make him stop.

My male Golden Retriever (who has since passed away) used to do the same thing to our neighbor's male German Shepherd. Male dogs hump each other to establish which dog is the dominant one. It is not sexual in any way.
A lot of the time neutering will get rid of this problem(wait six mos. after to get all hormones out of system). If a male still humps everything after that, I think they may be trying to establish some dominance in the family.
Yes it is normal.. this is how the pack leader shows he is the head dog.. if they need to be fix go ahead and do that however, even a fix male or female will do this act.. hopefully a lot less though
Aside from "get him neutered immediately" and "get everyone else spayed and neutered, too"?
Look up "dominance mounting" and learn something.

Puppy's hump things because they are trying to act like adult dogs. it is total normal. My 4 month old girl lab puppy humps my female german shepherd. Just discourage it.
He's bisexual. There are many animals that are.
Just get him fix and everyone fixed (when the time comes for the pups). that should curve the problem.
its dominence
fix all of them..
