Why Do Dogs Sniff Crotches? Understanding This Curious Behavior
Dogs have a rather unconventional way of saying hello—sniffing! While it’s normal for them to investigate each other’s rear ends, their interest in human crotches can be quite uncomfortable. But there’s a reason behind this behavior.
Dogs rely on their powerful sense of smell to understand the world. With around 220 million scent receptors—about 50 times more than humans—they can detect subtle odors that escape our notice. This natural ability helps them learn about their environment and the people in it.
