a 6 mos old male beagle. What is going on? I told my daughter, they are her dogs, that I thought it was the older male trying to let the younger male know that he is the leader of the pack. Any ideas or help for my daughter please.
Thanks

I agree with you. Mounting is almost always related to shows of dominance rather than an attempt at sex. (Sorry can I use that word??)Point is, outside of an intact male and in heat female meeting, the mounting has to do with pushing their weight around.
Ditto! mounting is a dominance thing, regardless of size or gender. In general, Beagles are happy pack animals; many Labs remain goofy teens until 3-4 YO Frequently interactions never escalate into blood letting, hopefully your boys will work it out without your intervention entertaining to watch a spayed female intimidate and "cow" a much larger male into submissive status
