chp5 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My inquisitive 9 year old daughter asked me - why don't dogs have belly buttons? I don't know. The puppies must get nutiants from the mother somehow . . . Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Actually they do...as they have an umbilical cord. May be hard to see though. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sure do! Peel back the fur about 3 inches forward of their unit. It is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Of course they have umbilicus leftovers. Much easier to see on short-haired breeds, I'll admit. I recall seeing one on our dachsunds long ago. (That's how I knew). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
