I noticed yesterday my dog (lab mix) has what I think is a pimple on his sheath. I just wanted to confirm it or make sure it is nothing more serious.

I don't think I'd be overly worried about this at this point in time. It could be just a follicular cyst. I suggest you just monitor it for now. If it does not go away in the next month or so, it gets larger or it starts to bother him then you should have your vet take a look at it. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
