This behaviour is often a sign of impacted anal glands.

One needs to learn how to drain... or "express" the gland by using an upward squeezing motion at the anus.
The scooting is the dog trying to express his own itchy full gland.

Anal Gland Disease in Dogs

Or worms.........or as Vito said impaction that needs to be expressed.
Expressing said anal glands is a guaranteed good time for all.

Hold the gland with a paper towel, and aim the squirt elsewhere!

@Vitolo and @arb the link I provided includes, symptoms, causes and treatments. We were shown the correct procedure by our vet. It's a job many may not fancy doing. :)

If your dog is displaying signs and symptoms of an anal gland problem, seek the advice of your veterinarian. Your veterinarian may manually express the sacs. An antibiotic may be prescribed if there is an infection.

I used to know a old vet who's answer to everything was worming and expressing.
Bring your dog in run over by a car.......wormed and expressed just in case.
We worm regularly every 3 months.
Dogs and cats........so much variety in the shit to eat here.

I just have to share one of the pics that the breeder sent me.... looks like I could be getting a puppy in the next few months. I'm not sure if I'm feeling happy or certifiable.... god help me if I come home with more than one....

Raw mohair pad?

It's a wild felted bed made from raw sheep wool.

 

[momofthegoons]

Lol.. is this what I have to look forward to? I seem to remember this from the last go round...

 

[Squiby]

Here's another look at Pickle's wild wool bed. It's a deep bowl shape with the top turned down. Loose wool fibers inside with a rust colored felted exterior. He loves it and spends every afternoon napping in it after a morning of inspecting the outside grounds.
