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 love to sleep in my owner's bed on top of the duvet. I am quite spoiled with many, many toys and a large fenced in enclosure to play in. My favourtie toy is my laser light which I chase for hours. I love cats. Unfortunately, the one cat that likes me does not live with me. I do not like little dogs or horses. I like to watch television. I sleep, eat, and play for most of the day, but 'squirrel watch' in my sparetime. I also chase my shadow everyday however, I never catch it. I enjoy going for walks at night, but my favourite activity in running in the bush. My owner loves me more than anyone else, her husband thinks she loves me more than she loves him, which is just fine with me.
