| Weird Question... O.k. this is a very weird question, but I am in a foreign country where not many people speak English and I have been unable to find a vet who speaks English. I bought my puppy almost a month ago and was told she is a girl. I didn't pay much attention but never really noticed anything in her genital area until tonight. There appears to be what looks like a penis! Do female dogs have an extended genital area? We always joke that she is a hermapherdite dog because there is a bulge in her lower abdomen, which I was told was nothing when I bought her, possibly and extended intestine. Could she be a he?? |

| I'm sure it is a girl - girls do have a little 'protrusion' much much lower than a male does. The penis kindof extends up the belly more. There's a major difference.

| Fewf! That makes sense. What a relief. I guess every female is different because are other dog, Lab/Pitbull, doesnt have such and obvious protrytion. |

| Post an x-rated picture if you can. A female's vulva is all the way back between the legs (a male's penis is further up on the stomach) It looks like two cloves of garlic. Is the bulging off to the side? Are you sure it's not an inguinal hernia? |

I am going to point this out to the vet next week, see if he can understand me and I can understand him. I love my baby no matter what, but if she was sold to me under false pretences I would expect that they cover her/his neutering/spaying procedure. | |

| Baby doesn't have anything protruding. Does "she" have testicles?

| sOUNDS TO ME LIKE A HERNIA TOO. DOGS ARE SO EASY TO TELL MALE FROM FEMALE, SO I WOULD THINK THE BREEDER WOULD KNOW WHAT SHE IS SELLING WE ARN'T JUDGING YOU. BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD POST A PICTURE. YOU HAVE US ALL CURIOUS NOW. IS IT A HE OR A SHE? MAKES ME WONDER IF YOU FELT PEE UP BY THE BELLY MAYBE IT IS A MALE. CAN'T WIAT TO HEAR FROM YOU. |

| My guess would be a hernia also, and it may have been wet cause pee splashed on it, If it is not part of the vulva then I would look into it. |
