when I was a little kid and asked my grandfather that very question, he told me
many years ago, all the dogs had a big party. Being polite, they all hung their tails at the door. There was a fire, and as they ran from the building each grabbed a tail on the way out. Of course, nobody got their own tail. To this day each dog sniffs the others tail to see if its his.

The answers of course. They do not have the luxury of Yahoo Answers so nature created sniffers that make the other go Yahoo.

Most animals rely on scent to know who each other are and well sniffing each other butts are part of it .

its their way of either saying "hi" or getting to know each other, kinda gross huh? Its pretty much a dogs way of shaking hands.

When sniffing each other they get to know stuff about each other.... I read this somewhere and it's quite interesting.

They are looking for leftovers from lunch or dinner.

When they snarf each other, they are checking each others temperatures.
