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'm 2 years old, I am a big boy now, my owner Danno tell me so everyday.
I love to chew (gently)on people wrist even though they tell me not too, but when daddy (my owner) says no I do listen, is my trainer and a good one too, as a matter of fact he is the best trainer a dog can have.
The game I love most is playing with my dad when he pitch me my favourite toy around.
I don't go anywhere, or I should say my dad doesn't go anywhere without taking me along.
My worst nightmare is when daddy took me to the vet and had my surgery so I can not make any babies, I was mad at him for 3 days, but now I'm OK, I forgive him, because he take good care of me everyday.
My most cherished memory, is when I was honoured by the The Pantheon québécois of the animals in 2001 for the exceptional work accomplished at Ground Zero in NY in search of survivors.
My owner, Danno's most cherished memory with me, is when he came to get me!!!
We are now a team we do everything together, well almost everything, if you know what I mean.... We've been through so much together since the search at the World Trade Center rubble that people call us the Ranger-Danno Team.
