As mentioned in this very recent thread:

I just adopted a second Basset. Wally my male Basset is neutered and Luna the new female is intact. I intend to get her operated ASAP, hopefully Monday. I am in the first hours of getting Luna. Luna is much smaller and Wally seems to be sexually agressive with her and I have not been able to leave him unrestrained with her. He did the usual smelling but seemed to start to try and mount her which I stopped right away. She is not used to other dogs and is somewhat afraid of him and has snarled at him a few times when I have allowed him to get close. I am fairly confident that she will get used to him over time. I have had them within a few feet of each other unrestrained but with us sitting next to both. Wally is fairly obedient when I till him to stay. I did not not think my neutered male would want to mount her like this. All my previous dogs were males and sole dogs in the household so I don't have much experience with this situation. The previous owners told us that they think that she is not due for her period until the end of the month. Is the fact that she is still intact and just prior to her period a key factor that Wally, although neutered, is so excited by her? Onced fixed will Wally get past this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
