Take your pup to the vet for his puppy shots that he must have. Talk to the vet and he Or she will answer all your question and more. So set up that vet apointment asap. Parvovirus is not something you want your dog to get. puppies with out vacs do come down with this deadly virus.

Thanks for the links, cichlid2006..
@Snowflake311: It had already been to the vet & also groomed..

I'm a mod over at http://pets-n-people.net (I'm crazedACD). Lots of friendly people there (not so many fish people though).

Just a quick question, if the dog is licking its private parts does that mean it needs to pee/poop?

Simple answer, ...it licks its private parts because it can.





























Actually, it's a cleaning/grooming instinct.

I know it can but right now the dog is still new in my house & she needs to be trained to pee/poop at the right spot indoor.. & I need to keep an eye on her for some time..
Does a dog show any signs when they need to pee/poop?

LMAO! Phil is right though. I've owned dogs for years and even have them go to their vets when necessary.

How old is the dog?

When a pup seems to get a little more excited to see you or gives you a little more attention, that's a signal that it wants to either go out or have you show it where to do its business. That was the modus operandi of our new rat terrier.
