Because dogs use scents as a form of recognition; they learn each others' scents and when they meet a new dog they check it out and remember the smell so if they saw him again, they would remember him. K.

Ok its because every dog has a different smell. Just like every human has a different face

(unless you are identical twins or something). So they sniff each other's ___ to you know remember them. Just like if we saw someone we knew at a store it would because we reconize their face. because imagine if they didn't have a head. We wouldn't know that it was lola or Hannah or whoever. Because we have to reconize their face. I mean if your cousin was like a 4 foot tall *any color person* you wouldn't be able to tell him any different from another 4 foot tall *any color person* unless you know one was fat and one wasnt. but that's not my point. Dogs sniffing each others ___ is their way of ''looking at their face.''

Hope I helped! Later!

It's a dog's natural form of greeting. Basically that's their way of saying hi. Dogs do it big-time... humans not so much. :)
