What are the reasons my intact male dog mounts my spayed female?

Question

Hi, my intact male dog keeps trying to mount my spayed female dog. He is also constantly sniffing and licking everywhere she has sat down with his mouth chattering and drooling. What are the reasons he could be doing this? Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | spayed

Hello. He is just being a male dog. Even after neutering, some males may still try to mount females, but in his case, he is still strongly attracted to your spayed female. If you do not plan on neutering the male, keep an eye on the male as the female can get annoyed at him & you may have a fight on your hands. If your male is still quite young, he may mature out of this behavior as his instincts are very strong right now. Just keep an eye on him.
