Pet Tip
Dog is a Crotch Sniffer – Pet tip 245
Most dog owners are aware that dog noses are extremely sensitive. This is due to the quantity of olfactory or ‘smell’ receptors in a dog’s nose. Whereas humans have around five million olfactory receptors, dogs have two hundred and twenty million. This makes their noses exponentially more sensitive than a human’s. Most times a dog’s sensitive nose works to our benefit. All kinds of dogs are used as service dogs to help humans find missing people, sniff out explosives, drugs etc. They can smell people coming from quite a distance and alert us to their presence. There are some embarrassing occasions however, when a dog’s nose is just too sensitive from our human perspective. Most notably this occurs when dogs try to sniff humans in their private areas.
This behaviour is a common one in dogs and equally common is the fact that it upsets most dog owners. The reason some dogs sniff at a human’s private parts is the same reason they sniff the private parts of other dogs. We know that when they smell other dogs in this way they can tell the sex, rank (is the dog more dominant or submissive) age and other information about the dog.

Rudy is a wild boy with a very interesting attitude. He is cocky and demands to be the center of the attention. He LOVES people and no matter who you are he is in your lap before you can blink. His way of greeting you is with his big underbite that makes him look like he is smiling at you. His favourite things are people, treats, showing off and chasing Hanna around the house. He works for a living, he is a trucker and lives in our transport all week and comes home on weekends to see the girls. He is whipped when it comes to Nicky our female Shih Tzu. When she is tired or sick or has a litter of puppies he actually brings her his treats and toys it is nothing we taught him but shocked us all. No matter who he meets he makes them fall in love with him he is either giving them kisses or running around and being all cute. But on weekends he shows us his soft side when he hops on your lap for a nap or cuddle and he knows every Sunday he gets his massage so he is ready Monday morning to go back to work.
