Dogs are refreshingly free from all human hang-ups regarding personal space and body part taboos. They take in an enormous amount of information through their olfactory sense, much, much more than humans. It stands to reason that they will use that sense in any way they can to find scents that are distinctive and unique to various individuals. Dogs rely more on scent than on any other senses or cues. It may seem strange to us when dogs do this, but we need to understand that dogs are not people. They don't give a hoot what we think about their natural approach to the world. That part of a body produces scents that are distinctive, and so a dog is tuned in to that. Most dogs are not sensitive to color, so visual cues will be handled differently by dogs than most of us would think.

Say that you are going about your day and suddenly something brightly and vibrantly colorful comes into view. You will likely turn toward it and pay attention for a while. That's all dogs are really doing. What's interesting is interesting. Some dogs can be trained to indicate which urine sample out of several comes from a person dealing with cancer. THAT indicates the level of subtle and sensitive discrimination a dog can engage in using the sense of smell.

Because that's how they know what you've been doing, where you've last been to the toilet .etc

Actually, its not just female crotches, but there's a lot more to be told from a female crotch than a male one.

A male dog is constantly in search of a female in heat, the way they know is by scent, a bitch in heat releases a specific pheremone, which they have to look for. Believe it or not, there are subtle differences between your pheremones and those released by other mammals - sometimes a dog has to check... just to be sure.

Bitches also like to know when other dogs are in heat, pregnant, feeding pups etc. They can't chat about it like we do, so they work all this out from the scent and body language of the other animal.

Dogs are very curious creatures, and very social - so think of it more as the dog listening to tales of your day, asking questions like, "Hi how are you? What did you eat? Are you on your period? Are you pregnant yet? Have you done anything exciting?" than an awkward sniffing.
