I have a female chihuahua apprx. around 1.5 yrs old...I have never actually seen her go into heat yet, so I am not sure when she goes into heat...I dont have a male one, but my mom does, she has a long haird one about same size as my female..when i take her down with me to her house, he keeps constantly bugging her and trying to lick her down there, and occasinoally he tries to get behind her to hump her, but she wont let him, she just snaps at him...now my aunt breeds them has for 15 yrs, but my ? is why does the male do this, does that mean shes coming into heat soon, or just got out maybe or is that normal...?
Update:i have not had her spayed cause like my aunt who has been breeding chihuahua's for 15 yrs, I wanna breed them and find loving caring homes for them..so the puppies aint unwanted...when i am ready for her to be spayed I will

Could be any of those. It's normal and dogs find out alot about each other by sniffing down there. That's how they greet each other and know each other--by the individual scent. If she's 1.5 she may be in her first heat so I'd be careful as she's really too young to be intentionally bred. They are usually swollen in their privates when in heat. My question is why was she not spayed at 6 months? You can spare her the heat cycles, unwanted puppies, dangerous pregnancies and deliveries, possible death and reproductive cancers, especially mammary.
She is too young to be in heat. I have 2 males & 2 females, 1/2 of them neutered, 1/2 of them fertile and they are always "checking each other out." It's just normal behavior.
Honey;
