GAGGGGG!!! I usually don't put a leash on him to take him out to go potty as he seems to prefer to go off a bit and go ( we live in a very quiet rural neighborhood so the hazards are minimal) but the area where the cat goes to poo is not fenced off. I have never had a dog that did this !! Do any of you guys have experience with this or is our precious puppy a "deviant" of some sort???I am doing my best to keep him away from the area but if he finds it anyway, what will it do to him besides give a whole new meaning to the concept of "foul" breath!!??

It's not uncommon at all. In fact most dogs will go for kitty "treasures" when and wherever they can get them.
Can you fence off the area the cat uses? A 3 foot fence at least to keep him out. Or clean it up so the cat won't want to use it as much.
Also, dogs that eat cat poop are more prone to getting worms. Cats get them from the rodents they catch. You might want to talk to your vet about a deworming schedule.
