Peeing on front legs

I have a 1 year old who is still a squatter when peeing. He finally has lifted his leg on rare occasions. The problem is that when peeing, he pees on the back of his front legs. So, needless to say, he gets a quick bath when he gets in from his walks. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem?

Yup. Basically, you have a short backed dog, which is good in sheepdogs!! Lots of boy sheepdogs squat for a long time if not all of their lives. Wipe downs and some cornstarch or cornstarch based powder to help dry the area out afterwards.
oh yes if you search you will be sure to find other threads on this. I have to say Morgan does it and since he runs outside I am sure he doesn't get bathed every time he does it. I use Ice on Ice spray to keep uit from penetrating the coat.
Thanks for the tips . Its more like a front leg bath when it gets bad . What is Ice on ice ?
Nigel pees on his front legs almost every time he pees. He lifts his leg a lot now, but he was neutered last week, so we will see if he goes back to squatting. I could use help on a quick clean up too. If I see him do it, I grab a towel on the way in, but I don't wash it all off. He will just do it again the next time. BOYS!!!! :D
Do you shave his under-belly and trim the hair on the dangling? The longer the hair on the dangling thing the more they squirt on their legs. :oops:
I keep the area around Barkley's penis well trimmed (#30 blade), and he doesn't seem to have the problem you describe. I know he's ready for a trim when he starts peeing forward instead of basically straight down.

I've been told that leaving a "tassle" is a good thing if you've got a leg-lifter, but it seems to make things worse on the dogs who squat.
Thank goodness for baby wipes.....
