The short answer is "Yes" they can get moles. That said, they might not necessarily be moles and may be another skin condition. I have added a couple of links showing discussions on dog moles.

Can Dogs Get Moles

It could be a mole. As someone else mentioned, dogs get a lot of the same skin ailments we do. My dog has had pimples and skin tags too. My uncle has a dog that has excema. Strange to think of it that way but when you think of all the other stuff they can have as well (asthma, allergies) it makes sense. But also make sure it isn't a tick.

Yes dogs can have moles and some of them can have more than you can count. As dogs get older they seem to have more appear.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU16v
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Yes dogs get moles. Their skin changes with age just like ours. Watch the spot and if you notice any change in size, color or texture, have it checked by a vet.

Yes dogs can get moles and they can sometimes be cancerous. I would have your vet check it out to make sure its nothing bad.

I've had dogs with moles - Could be that but you should have the vet check it next time you go.

If your dog doesn't take preventative flea and tick medicine, I'd have her checked out by the vet. Ticks carry diseases such as lyme.
Could be a mole, but why take a chance.
