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.

I came across Braxton at a local animal shelter in the summer of '06. he immediately melted my heart :) the day i finally brought him home i was so excited but we soon realized he had been mistreated in the past and was fearful of everything and everyone, but now he's a love bug who loves to cuddle, give kisses, and eat my shoes. Braxton was the first dog i ever owned of my own (i used to have dogs when i ws a kid) so it was quite the learning experience for both of us! but now hes taught me nothing heals better then a slobbery kiss!
