Could be a number of things but would look at Rocky Mountain Tick disease for one or blastomicosis, would have the dog taken in for a vet visit with blood work up. Dog may have a staph infection as well. There is to many different things that can cause sores on the dog, but the first thing I would do is take the dog to the vet and have them do a blood work up checking for the above items.
