A dog's glans consists of two sections: Behind the lower, long part (pars longa glandis) lies the "knot" (Bulbus glandis) [1] which expands only after penetrating the vagina and causes the male dog to remain inside the bitch ("Tie") for some time after ejaculation (typically between 15 and 30 min).
Dog anatomy comprises the anatomical study of the visible parts of the body of a domestic dog. Details of structures vary tremendously from breed to breed, more than in any other animal species, wild or domesticated, [ 1 ] as dogs are highly variable in height and weight.
For domestic dogs the tie may last up to half an hour or more, though usually less. [7] When male canines are sexually excited, the bulbus glandis may swell up inside the penile sheath, even if the dog has been neutered. [8] The bulbus glandis also occurs in the penises of some pinnipeds, including South American fur seals. [9]
Male dogs have a conspicuous penis sheath. [8] Penile sheath of a Chihuahua with cryptorchidism. In stallions, the retractor penis muscle contracts to retract the stallion's penis into the sheath and relaxes to allow the penis to extend from the sheath. [9] The penis sheath of a male axis deer is elongated and urine-stained.
Dogs can have the maternal instincts to start grooming their puppies, consume their puppies' feces, and protect their puppies, likely due to their hormonal state. [124] [125] While male-parent dogs can show more disinterested behaviour toward their own puppies, [126] most can play with the young pups as they would with other dogs or humans. [127]
