Morphology
The insult's meaning is directly built from its parts: 'turd' already denotes a worthless or disgusting thing/person and 'dog' merely specifies/strengthens that image (a dog's excrement), so the overall derogatory sense is predictable. The compositional pattern (animal + excrement insult) is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended vulgar meaning.
Etymology
The noun dog turd comes from the literal image of a small pile of a dog's poop on the ground; picture stepping near it, and you remember it means 'a piece of solid waste left by a dog'.
