Why does a puppy lick its butt?

Answer 1

Dog ears smell wonderful to other dogs. A male dog will lick a female's dog ear just as readily as it will lick another male dog's ear. This is a grooming habit that dogs perform on one another.

Answer 2

This is simply the way dogs interact when they are together. They sniff and sometimes lick the rear, mouth, and genitals of other dogs. It is normal dog behavior among both genders.
It may seem very odd to us, but dogs lick each other's privates in order to obtain information about them. By liking and tasting the dog's genitals, they can tell if the animal is intact and ready to breed, or if it has mated recently. They can also sense if an unfamiliar canine is ill, frightened or apt to become aggressive.
When one dog tries to lick the genitals of another, the behavior is considered submissive. This is usually practiced by submissive pack members toward their dominant counterparts.
