Answers:

Puppies aren't born with Rabies. If they have been biten by a Rabid skunk, racoon, etc, they could contract Rabies. If your pups are 4 months or older, you need to take them to a vet for a Rabies vax.

First of all, if he looks fine, then he's probably ok and so are you. Puppies CAN have rabies. The only way to know for sure is to take your puppy to the vet and let them check him. Also, if he doesn't have rabies, puppies get vacinated for rabies every so many months until they are a year old I think and then it's only once a year that they get the rabies shot. Possible symptoms of rabies in any animal is foaming at the mouth, acting aggressive.

Animals have to be exposed to a rabid animal such as a skunk, opossum, armadillo, bat, or another rabid dog or cat.

Symptoms: abnormal behavior, uncontrollable tendency to bite, paralysis and spasms, and pain when swallowing . Preventive vaccination is very important for dogs because it breaks the transmission chain from a wild animal, for example a fox. In closed circles where rabies has been declared, vaccination is vital for the dog in determined circumstances, since dogs are suspects of carrying the disease. Likewise, it can only travel to foreign countries when the anti-rabies card is up to date

Your dog would have had to have come in contact with (in other words was BITTEN by) another animal that is infected with rabies. You are the owner, so only you would know if your dog has recently been bitten. If your dog has recently been bitten you should have had him to the vet already.
