Yes, All mammals have umbilical cords. If a dog has four puppies, there will be four umbilical cords. Each puppy emerges in its own placental membrane, or sac, which must be removed before the puppy can breathe. The mother usually takes care of this by tearing off (and sometimes eating) the membrane, and then severs the umbilical cord. After delivery, she will lick each puppy to stimulate its breathing.

YUP YUP :D Dogs are mammals right? If they're NOT mammals they wouldn't have umbilical cords... umbilical cords connect to the mother.. When the mom eats, the baby eats too!

Yes, which is why dogs have belly buttons, too.
