because they eat bannanas!
I'm sorry... but whoever did that i automatically classify as annoying. But anyhoo, dogs sniff each other to get eachothers scent and sometimes they're mood. Also, if it is a female in estrus, all the more reason for a male dog to sniff.

∙ 13y agoDogs often sniff each other's hind (not always) because that is their way of meeting each other and debating if the other dog is:
male or female
in heat
pregnant
hostile or not
if it is a threat to it's properties (turf) owner/family, or itself or baby (or if it's pregnant)
It's like a dog's hand shake.
To get to know each other, size them up, to remember. Like people remember names or faces of people they meet, dogs use their nose more than their eyes to greet of know from friend, foe or stranger.

It is impolite (in the dog world) for a dog to greet another with touch (pawing, biting, rubbing (like cats), etc.), so they rely on their second sense, scent. The scent of any animal is strongest in the rear... so that is where dogs sniff. It is also how they know the health of another dog.

My dog was dragging his butt. The vet told me that it may be fleas irritating him. I got Frontline, waiting to see if it works to stop his dragging. It's been about 3 weeks, and he doesn't drag as much. Also, he may need to have his anal glands expressed.

Why do dogs sniff their own urine?
They are marking their territory. They will either smell another dog's urine and urinate over that or, they will mark their own territory such as the backyard/frontyard, etc. it tells them that that is their territory. if one dog, wolf, ... sees anouther dog mark its territory onto theirs, it will usually start a fight. think about this example to help you understand if you get a glass of milk and you take a drink, that cup is your territory until you are done. lets say your little brother or sister comes into the room and takes a drink out of your cup. you get mad because that cup is your territory. it is the same thing with dogs, its normal. What dogs smell, whether it's urine or another dog's butt, tells the dog just about everything about the other dog. Dogs have millions more scent receptors than do humans and they way the process smells is very different than we do. For dogs, scents are comparable, almost, to how we perceive things by sight. The smell of another dogs urine tells them everything about that dog -- it's sex, whether it's in season, whether the other dog is healthy or not, etcetera. Once they determine what the scent is telling them, they pee over it to mark the territory as their own or just to let anyone else coming by that they were there, thus leaving their own information-filled scent.
