How to tell if a puppy is a girl or a boy.

This is how to tell if a puppy is a boy or a girl.

  1. Gently turn them over so that you can see their belly.

  2. You will be looking for a Hershey's Kiss-shaped bump that looks like an “outie” belly button.

  3. If it is far down between their legs, you are holding a girl.

  4. If it is in the middle of their belly, you are holding a boy.

Graciela's Dog Dictionary

Hi! I'm Graciela Liana Grimball, but my friends just call me Princess Graciela Liana Grimball for short. 🐶 Thanks for checking out my dictionary! This is a list of words and phrases my dog friends and I put together just for our blog. We listed everyday phrases and then added our own meanings. Got a word or phrase of your own that you want to share? Add it in the comments, and I will include it in the list.

Yes, I can write! Along with "sit and stay" classes, my obedience school also offered a class called "Writing English When You Don't Have Opposable Thumbs," plus keyboarding and selfie courses for those of us who might have been considering careers in social media. So I enrolled and aced them all. 😎 You can visit my dictionary below.
