I had thought that once a female dog was spayed that an un-neutered male would no longer be interested in her in that way... but is that true? Buzz is our first dog that was not fixed when he arrived, but is scheduled to be neutered on November 11 (we couldn't get a surgery appointment with our regular vet until then). We didn't think it would be an issue to wait until then, since both Booker and Popcorn are spayed, and he isn't showing any interest whatsoever in Popcorn, but he is absolutely obsessed with Booker. Unless we call him off, his nose his basically attached to her behind - and when he sees her from across the room he makes this squeaking noise (the only sounds he has made so far in almost two weeks). Booker seems to be handling the attention okay, although sometimes she barks at him when he really gets in there - and we are trying not to let him bug her too much, or to let him get any more excited over her than just sniffing and squeaking.
But I'm just wondering why he would be so fixated on Booker - she was spayed when she was 7 months old (11 years ago) but are there still some hormones she produces that might set Buzz off? Or should we have her checked out by the vet in case she has an infection or something that is making him interested in her like this?
