Urinating

Voiding of urine. The dog may urinate as it exhibits crouching or a prone posture, or if it is attacked.
(Kohler-Matznick, 2005)

This adolescent Berger Blanc Suisse has been pressed down by the female Alaskan Malamute, and has urinated. The Malamute and the male German Shepherd mix have then approached and the Malamute is sniffing her urine.

The female Berger Blanc Suisse runs toward the Malamute, head down, then suddenly brakes to a stop, crouches and flicks her tongue, whining slightly; the Malamute is exhibiting an offensive facial display and is standing tall. The white dog sits, ears bent sideways, and wags her tail; she averts her gaze and then runs away. The Malamute follows her, and the white dog slows down, then crouches, hunching her back before stopping and lying down, then running away again. The Berger Blanc Suisse then approaches the male German Shepherd mix, crouching with her ears bent back; she sits, and both the Malamute and the mixed breed sniff her. When the male dog sniffs her groin area, she squeals and urinates. She moves away as the two adult dogs sniff her urine. The Malamute approaches her from a frontal position and standing tall, then presses her down with her forelegs. The younger dog first lies down, then runs away.
