Hi,
Owning a short coated gundog myself I think it may just be scratches from when you take them out for a walk - it would swell a bit for a couple of days. Also it may be insect bites which do swell at first. Not something I would worry about but you may want your vet to check it out as they can actually see the bumps for themselves. If it were a hystiocytoma (a type of benign tumour) or any other type of tumour it would be there for longer.
Hope this helps,
Emma
