Why do dogs hike their legs when they pee?? _(link)

I think it's only male dogs who do this, females usually squat down. The guys seem to be able to pee every few yards sometimes, so I think it's more of a 'marking territory' thing rather than actually needing a pee. Their pee passes information onto other dogs, who passed this way and stuff like that.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch:)
