“…However, urination rates (male STU and female SQU) were not different for subordinate or prepubertal animals except at estrus when some females urinated more frequently. These results are similar to those for domestic dogs (Berg, 1944;Martins and Valle, 1948;Fox, Beck, and Blackman, 1975).…”

“…Prepubertal males stand and females squat to urinate (Berg, 1944;Martins and Valle, 1948;Beach, 1974) as do prepubertal and subordinate wolves (males: STU, females: SQU). Only at puberty does the RLU posture appear in male dogs (Martins and Valle, 1948), although prenatal, not pubertal, concentrations of testosterone may be sufficient (Ranson and Beach, 1985). Female dogs do not urine-mark before puberty, but because even postpubertal urine-marking is relatively uncommon in females (Martins and Valle, 1948;Sprague and Anisko, 1973), its onset has not been well-studied.…”

However, in the female dog, urination frequency increases during estrus (Beach, 1974;Anisko, 1976) and following exogenous estrogen or testosterone (Beach, 1974).…”

“…That virtually all adult male dogs RLU suggests that each considers itself alpha. Yet, even among adult male dogs, temporary reversions to the juvenile STU pattern may occur when the dog is frightened or maintained in confined quarters (Berg, 1944;Martins and Valle, 1948), suggesting some influence of social and situational factors.…”

Although serum hormones varied seasonally in all adult animals, only dominant male and female wolves urine-marked. Serum testosterone and mine-marking rates, which increased during the fall/winter breeding season, were positively correlated in both male and female dominant wolves. Estradiol, which increased in conjunction with proestrus and estrus, was not correlated with female urinemarking. These findings suggest that hormonal influence on urine-marking in the wolf is modulated by social factors and contrast with those for both domestic dogs and coyotes, two other members of the genus Cards. 8 1990 Academic press, Inc.Of the numerous investigations of canid scent-marking, none have examined possible physiological influences (
