Have been wondering if there is any myth behind this, so do anyone in the house got any idea about this?

Funny but good question. I wondered for a while then I realised I actually really don't care.

They have anal glands in their bottoms.
I think these glands produce a unique scent for every dog,
so once two dogs sniff each others' bottoms,
they will always recognise each other.

According to a new video from the American Chemical Society, it's all about one canine literally sniffing out important information about the other--its gender, emotional state, diet, and more.

Dogs sniff each others but to know the sexual status of the other especially to know if a female dog is on heat......
