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 Spliffy, and I'm the apple of my mommy & daddy's eye. I'm a cuddly, silly, and wonderful little girl who will do almost anything for a treat! My favorites are bacon and red peppers, but I'll take anything I can get off the dinner plates too. My favorite toys are my skunk named Pepe and my squeaky squirrel. My favorite thing to do is to cuddle up in bed with mommy & daddy at night, especially if they have the electric blanket on. I also love going for car rides, especially when I get to sit on daddy's shoulders and look out the window.
