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 am a very loving dog always wanting to cuddle up close. I moved to Canada in Nov 2006 and have fallen in love with the snow. I am 3 years old and love to play with my pet cats called Sammy, Poppy, Tammy and Shiva. If I can I will try and get into any garbage bin and destroy or eat the contents. My favourite toy is a plastic kangaroo that squeaks and makes me go crazy. I love to go on long walks with my mum. I get very excited when I see other dogs as they don't come by our way very often.
