TOP 10 Dog Breeds With the Best Sense of Smell
dogs have amazing sense of smell but
some of them are definitely better
sniffers than others in this video I
will show you top 10 dogs with the best
sense of smell
[Music]
for dogs the sense of smell is just as
important as the sense of sight for us
is their most important sense and
according to the scientists it’s 10,000
to 100,000 times better than ours
it’s hard to imagine but we can make an
analogy to vision imagine that you can
see 10,000 times better than you do now
that would be incredible wouldn’t it
that is why the sense of smell is so
important for dogs we only have six
million smelling receptors in our nose
while dogs have up to three hundred
millions of them another dog advantage
is is they have two different air
passages one for breathing and another
for smelling only this means they do not
lose the smell when they are breathing
out just like we do dogs also have
better brain well at least for smelling
if you talk in brain ratio the part of
dog’s brain that is analyzing the smell
is 40 times bigger than ours
as you can see dogs are just made for
sniffing dogs also have the ability to
sniff independently from each nostril
which is the reason why they are able to
track where the scent is coming from
much more accurate than we do and now
let’s jump into the top 10 list of the
best dog sniffers number 10 German
Shorthaired Pointer I think you will not
be surprised that most of the dogs on
this list will be hunting breeds to be
more clear scent hounds German
Shorthaired Pointer is one of them they
were mostly used to retrieve water flow
but they can also be trying to be
extraordinary search and rescue dogs
number nine English Springer Spaniel
this dog breed used their nose a lot
David bred to hunt and today they are
sometimes trained to detect odors that
include narcotics explosives human
remains and fake currencies number eight
retrievers I didn’t want to put just one
a retriever into the list because I feel
they all have great sense of smell no
matter if it’s Labrador Noah Scotia Duck
Tolling or golden retriever just like
the German Shorthaired Pointers David
Bradford leave the game and
they are used for a variety of sniffing
jobs number seven dachshund dachshunds
were bred to hunt the Badgers in the
underground dance they have one big
advantage if we compare them to other
dogs I already mentioned and it is that
they are very low to the ground which
means they are much closer to the
interesting sense number six
Belgian and Dutch Shepherd the famous
military dogs just must be on this list
their sense of smell is used by police
and military all around the world to
sniff out drugs and bombs
these dogs are highly active but
ridiculously intelligent number five
German Shepherd if I mention Belgian and
Dutch Shepherd I just have to put GSD on
this list as well they also work for
police and military and they are capable
to learn how to sniff almost everything
you can see them on country borders
working for the custom officers number
four Coon hounds Coon hounds are another
hunting dog breeds and I could fill half
of the list of just Coon hounds
since there are a lot of them and all of
them are phenomenal sniffers we have the
black and tan coon hound bluetick
coonhound Redbone Coonhound english coon
hound drink walker coonhound and the
Bloodhound is in the coon hound category
as well number three beagle the cutest
dog on this list but don’t be fooled by
the sweet face if being a smell an
interesting scent they will follow it no
matter what and believe me they can
smell a lot they were originally bred to
hunt rabbits but today they are mostly
used as happy family companions number
two Basset short body enormous ears and
nose glued to the ground yes we are
talking about the famous basset hound
it’s believed that buzzards are the
second best dog sniffers in the world
their long ears sweep the ground
bringing the scent upwards to their
powerful nose which helps them to trap
the scent keeping it easily accessible
in their scenting abilities number one
bloodhound the number one duck sniffers
with no doubt the Bloodhound
they are the number one tracking dog for
hunters as well as for search and rescue
jobs they have the Mousehole Factory
sensors of any breed more than 300
millions there no stores are very wide
so they can sniff as much as possible
and they have the same floppy long ears
just like the Basset it seems that
everything on their body is made for
sniffing and they have long history in
this area they were used since Middle
Ages to track people this video was
inspired by this question I was asked
about Doberman sniffing abilities and
imposed sniffing abilities in dogs in
general well I didn’t mention Dobies in
the top 10 list but it doesn’t mean they
have bad noses Dobermans are also used
by police and military all over the
world and I would say their sniffing
abilities above average in the dark
world it just isn’t a top tier but they
have other advantages and I would say
they are one of the most compact dogs in
the world
they have above-average sense of smell
but also intelligence speed agility
strength to have very eager to please
and trainable they are just phenomenal
dogs overall tell me comments which dog
breed from this list is your favorite
