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.

Hi, I'm Mitch. I'm a white Boxer with a cute brown patch over my right eye, like a pirate's patch. Right now I'm 7 month old and had just been snipped...you know what I mean. I'm sort of depressed about that....I mean how would you like get snipped? But I guess it's ok...Mommy gave me lots of belly rubs and kisses to make up for it.
My life is really great. I have lots of acres to run around and play. Occasionally I chase the horses...but no more since I almost got killed by Mommy's big mare...she almost kicked the daylights out of me. Now I'm scared and won't go near her pasture again. Sigh! Mommy says I'm cute as a button...so please vote for me!!
