Yep! I think it's just their headbone and nothing to worry about. I fiddle around with Logan's all the time.

[Vette]

I think my bridge girl Muffin had the samething.

Lacey has one, the vet said it's a smart bump. :p Mandy doesn't have one.

[Joannie]

Mine all do, they are dachsunds, so I always thought it was because they are hounds. Joann

Does that mean he was smarter when he was a puppy?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/anna66/Smileys/laughinghard.gif

Neither Bitsy, Buster, nor Nova have a bump. Buster has a soft spot on the top of head though, most chihuahuas do.

lol! Bon was so tiny, and nows hes so big!
I'm not sure if mine have them or not...I think Roxy might.

[k9krazee]

Yup! Shadow and Jack do for sure, I don't think the others do...

[king2005]

My old dog had a large bump. He was soooo smart!!
Cadeau had one too & she was also a very smart dog.
Sadie doesn't have one & she dumber then a post, I mean really dumb & really agressive.

[prechrswife]

Max has a very pronounced one, and Oscar's is smaller. Like someone else said, I thought it was a hound thing.

[BC_MoM]

All dogs have those.. but on Labs it's more noticeable.

[lisahumphreys882]

Benji has one, he's a sheltie. I can't see it but i can feel it when i pet his head.

[jackie]

Tito has a VERY big bump, while Bo and Bella have nothing there. I suppose it is down to bone structure.

[Husky_mom]

oh Anna, you made me laugh so hard, lucky me i wasnt drinking anything or it would´ve come out my nose!!!

i really ant say its breed specific or anything but i´ve seen boxers have them too, as well as hounds and such, but cant assure anything

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

Bailey has one! :D

[zoomer]

I believe it is a part of the head bone, all my puppers have it :D

[Lori Jordan]

YES!! it is normal all my guys have them

[dab_20]

Lots of bigger dogs have them.

[Ravette]

It looks like you are pointing at the dogs occiput. I think I spelt that right. Anyways all doggies have it but some are quite a bit more pronounced. My golden has a huge one lmao! My nieces used to ask if he got hit on the head.

[pnance]

Nikka has a large one. Hmmm...smarter...we call her "special" some times does that count. :p ;)

[johnnymast1]

my 9 month old mixed breed (we think lab mix) always had a round head and then today we noticed a bump on the top of her head right between her ears, It looks like the bumps in all the pictures in this thread. my wife and I are very observant and neither of noticed this before. anybody ever heard of smart bumps developing? we are taking her to the vet just to make sure it isn't something else.
thanks
