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.

Blaze and Quest are real characters, they love to play outside in the snow, but are also just as happy sitting in the living room chewing on rawhides and relaxing with mum & dad.
If you can't tell by the picture they love to pose for the camera.
The only pet peeve these dogs have is when foxes come wandering through the back yard and they can't get out of the dog run to play with them.
They love playing with kids and other dogs...and even the odd cat.
Blaze's favorite pass-time is beating up Quest, and Quest's favourite past-time is digging holes to China....when she isn't fending off Blaze.
Alaskan Huskies are sled dogs by trade, they were bred for stamina and strength. But for anyone considering it, they are quick learners, and fantastic house dogs.
