Of course, many owners of dogs are familiar with the phenomenon of an intimate nature, which often happens in four-legged pets, such as clinging. Nevertheless, not everyone can answer the questions about why dogs stick together, and what are the consequences of this. Let's consider them in more detail.
Well, which one of us has not seen when pets, stuck together with their "loin" parts of the body, represent a "whole"? They can spend hours in this position. And, of course, seeing such a “picture” immediately there is a desire to help animals and separate them, which, in fact, the majority does. In fact, our four-legged friends can be harmed in this way.
So why do dogs stick together?
It must be emphasized that this is a completely natural process, a kind of insurance, which is a guarantee that puppies will appear as a result of mating. In terms of veterinary medicine, it is a spasmodic contraction of the peri-vaginal muscles. The above physiological phenomenon, by the way, is also characteristic of people. Bonding occurs, usually during mating. In another way, this feature of the body of a pet is called a "castle."
Considering the question of why dogs stick together, it must be emphasized that the bitch is usually fertilized within the first five minutes, and combing in this context has a logical explanation. However, there were often cases when, as they say, and “without a lock” the bitch was quite normal puppy. One way or another, the process of adhesion should be considered as an additional chance that the offspring will be born.
It should also be noted that the above physiological process is characteristic not only for dogs, but also for foxes, wolves and hyenas.
Is there another reason why dogs stick together? Yes, of course. This specific feature provides protection against the fact that the female can be fertilized repeatedly. Only the most “strong” and “authoritative” males have the right to mate with a female with the prospect of offspring, and mating is an additional proof of this. After sticking together, no one can mate with a female for fertilization.
And, of course, each dog breeder is interested in the question of what to do when you see a castle when breeding in dogs. To do something just does not need anything. Reckless actions in attempts to help the animal, if you are not an expert in these matters, can, as already emphasized, bring only harm.
If you have witnessed gnashing, it is better not to ask the question: “Why do dogs stick together when mating?”, And try to hold the pet behind its back so that it does not make sudden movements. At the same time, this should be done as carefully as possible, since any pet who finds himself in a similar situation begins to show excessive nervousness, so it is possible that he will try to bite someone who wants to help him.
After the process is completed, partners, as a rule, begin to feel apathy towards each other and intense fatigue. You need to go home with your pets, feed them and give them strength.
