Locating the opening on female k9.

Furrbag

Lurker
Okay so this is a little bit embarrassing since I thought it would be fairly easy to identify the vulva on an adult dog. Even when driving by other people walking their dogs on the street I could tell at a glance if they were male or female by identifying the pronounced shape of the vulva. I figured it would be obvious for all dogs.

Well, I adopted a malamute mix about six months ago and she has settled in nicely. I've tried to fool around with her a couple of times recently, just with my fingers to start off nice and slow, but when she is in a standing position I honestly can't figure out where her vulva is located. I can sort of touch it, but there's so much fur I can't even see if I'm rubbing in the right place. Her vulva is almost perfectly camouflaged by thick fur on the vulva. All I can feel is fur and maybe a fleshy bit now and then. I would try to initiate with her on her back where it is definitely more visible, but she almost never rolls on her back on her own and doesn't like being forced into that position so I won't make her do it that way.

I guess my question is, is there a trick to getting a better view of the opening so I can see what I'm doing? I've seen some YouTube informational videos that show the handler gently pushing with a thumb on the spot in between the vulva and rectum which is supposed to cause the labia to part slightly, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Also, would her being spayed matter in terms of the size/shape of the vulva? I would think not, but I'm also not a vet.

Any advice is appreciated.

Yes.

I was going to suggest you waited for her heat, when it grows and is much more fleshy and apparent.

Likely she was spayed at a short age and is underdeloped.

Look at the MFdog porn section. Plenty of good images showing the exact position. (basically between the legs and down where the dog ends)

Mind:
1: She will likely be OK being touched but not specially eager, mainly about any penetration. If she is underdeveloped you nay not fit more than a finger. Respect her.

2: Angle. Entry is *very* top of the vagina and angled up. I have my own embarrassing story on that about my first one 🤦

Thanks! Yes, I suspect she was a puppy mill dog that was separated from her litter too early, immediately spayed, and sent off to her first home. She has pretty horrible dog social skills and doesn't really know how to play with any toys, which is why I hold that theory.

I have managed to have a little more success in the past few days by pulling her legs apart just a bit and pressing on the spot I mentioned in the OP, I can see the opening and possibly the clitoris. It's extremely small, so I probably won't be fitting anything in there sadly. Alas, even if I can't provide for her sexual needs, she's still an awesome dog and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Appreciate the advice, and thanks for not roasting me 😅

She sounds so damn adorable. Sorry to hear that she was spayed though. Poor girl. I’ve often heard that once spayed at a young age, they have little to no interest in sex at all and can’t fit much of anything even if they wanted.

But that’s right though. You still have a wonderful companion to love and cherish.
 
It is not certain that she is spayed. This will be clear if she does not come into heat until she is ~2 years old.

However, there is a case where the female external genitalia, the V-shaped fleshy part, retracts and is covered by the upper fleshy part, which has hair on it.
Take more care of her, because it is not difficult or complicated to find the pussy. It is another question how big the vestibule and vagina will be.
 
As others said, when not in heat some dogs the upper hood will cover a lot of the vulva (the tip of the upside down spade area). If you can reach your hand from the top of her butt as if you were going to cup her ass in the palm of your hand, then make a V with your pointer finger and index finger on the skin below her asshole and kinda pull up towards the tail and push in a little with the V of your finger where you suspect her vulva to be. This will express it and pull up the upper hood so you can see all her glory.

For future reference, that hood basically covers the vaginal opening when not in heat. If she's not in heat, when/if she's ever ready for finger play you'd have to kinda push it upwards inserting at an upward angle.

If she was spayed especially at an early age and never experienced the joys of sex before it, just enjoy your dog for who she is as she won't care much for any play down there other than maybe some external rubbing.
 
Another thing that comes to mind is if she has that much fluff back there you might want to immediately after she pees feel around back there and if it's damp it might be good idea to consider what's known as a sanitary cut. That will keep her cleaner back there. Trimming the fluff back there can make it easier to see her girly husky bits. Plenty of videos on YouTube how to do it and any shop will know how as well.
And like others have said, six months is probably still a bit young for their first heat, so don't lose hope just yet.
