It’s a simple ‘look-over.’ Dogs can’t just look at each other and tell if it’s a boy or a girl. They can, however, smell things in the same way we look at things. A dog’s sense of smell is terrific. That charming ‘smell my butt’ thing communicates a dog’s gender, health, age, etc. It’s the same as you seeing someone and noticing clothing type, hairstyle, gender, and age.
Well, I read this a LONG time ago (can’t remember the book) and did a report. Sniffing the behind tells another dog about the other: where they are from, are they in heat; basically your typical intro…hi, how are you, are you single, where are you from?
My dog is about 3 feet tall, 95 pounds. I have seen him squat down for a female jack russell he liked a lot!
THUMBS DOWN? I didn’t mean he “squatted” on her, just was accomodating to the sniffing! He’s rather aware of his size!
I would have to say it is a greeting in the dog culture similar to “Hello, my name is…What’s yours.”This is my way of answering. Hope it helps.
Shaking hands and saying howdy.

I think it’s shaking hands
Staring.
A dog’s sense of smell is their most dominant sense, which would be akin to our sense of sight. Therefore, when they sniff another dog’s behind they are taking in as much information as they can about that dog with their most dominate sense. When we stare at someone we are taking in as much information about them with our most dominate sense, that of sight.
