Answer 1

It is a sign of dominance. You should really get your dog spayed at her age she runs a greater risk for pyometra which is an infection of the uterus that can only be fixed by removing it during emergency surgery that cost 4 times as much as a routine spay.  

Answer 2

she is doing it to show dominance......to show she is the bosss............

Answer 3

Female dogs hump. It's normal, especially if one is in heat. It's a sign of dominance, over-excitement, or wanting to mate.

No worries, unless she becomes obsessive and the pup can't fight her off. If that's the case, pull the chow off her.

Answer 4

Well is it bleeding all over if it is you might want to put diapers on it if not then don't worry about it
