Why do dogs smell each others behinds?

Answer 1

A dog's sense of smell is very important because it helps them find out a lot of things about other dogs. A dog has only to smell a certain odor to find out almost everything about another do

g. This type of communication allows the dog to know how the other dog is, where he is from, what he has eaten, if it is a male or female, how old he is, if he is a relaxed or stressed dog etc. It's also very likely that a dog is able to discover and find out many other things by smelling that we are not aware of. The act of smelling is brought about as a ritual that dogs mutually do by smelling each other's face and anus. After this, one of the dogs can give the signal that he wants to play and the game begins, otherwise the dogs each go on their own way, or in some occasions they fight.

Answer 2

Dogs do that to get information on other dogs. They can tell male or female, general health, status of sexual maturity and lots of other interesting things! I know, we think it's gross, but for them it's like shaking hands and meeting someone.
