Answer 1

I'm from west Texas and don't see it often.  But it is a blueberry vine.  The shape of the leaf is wrong for grape!  Blueberries like acidic soil of the south and eastern US.  The smokey Mountains are home turf.  Try looking at google images for blue berry vines.

Your puppies might get a stomach ache from eating to many.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  It might give the puppies the runs though.

I tried to send a hyper link but I don't think it worked.

Answer 2

Looks like wild grapes....  

Answer 3

These look like elderberries. You can make wine from them, but they are quite bitter, have a lot of tannin in them. Birds love them.

Answer 4

It's a harmless plant called Black Elderberry. The berries are not poisonous. They are used to make elderberry jam, cough medicine and wine. Your puppies will be alright.

Answer 5

Grapes.  The puppies are fine.  A good rule of thumb with berries is never eat white, red's okay sometimes & anything else is pretty much okay.
