A boy pees with his leg up, a girl squatting. I know more details but will leave that up to you, look in dog books.

All PUPPPIES urinate with both legs planted; a male pup will not begin lifting his leg until his testicals drop. I'm having trouble telling my pup's gender, too. I think it must be determined by a veterinarian or someone with extended general canine knowlege. For his first checkup, though, the vet didn't say anything about it.

look for a penis, if there is one, it is male, if it is not, then it is female.

The boys' member is by the umbellical cord, the girls' part is between their legs.. They don't get the testicles till later.

The males penis is more up by the stomach, the females vagina is down further between her legs. The breeder should have known.

Yeah, well that peeing thing doesn't work until the puppies are a few months old. Does it have a thing?
