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.

Nugglet is a sweet, eager-to-please little pup. He gives kisses and is friendly to every person and animal he meets. He is an excitable and energetic little puppy and loves to play with anyone or anything. If you pet him and scratch him on the head, ears, neck and back, he will be putty in your hands. He follows me everywhere I go and is gentle and tolerant around my 3 young children. He loves to go for walks and enjoys playing in the snow.
His favorite 'perch' is a child's foam Teletubby chair as seen in the above photo.
He enjoys getting groomed and brushed.
