I think they have the cluster of whiskekers under their chins to help guide the dog through tight spaces. The cluster helps the dog navigate it's snout in tight spaces.

Whisker are sense organs for dogs and they use them for feeling

I don't know, but I think it's gross. I want to take the dog to get it waxed.
