- Beagles
- Bloodhounds
- Basset Hounds
- German Shepherds
- Labrador Retrievers
These dogs were bred specifically for scent tracking and detection, making it nearly impossible for them to ignore strong smells around people.
Dogs Can Detect More Than You Think
Dogs are capable of noticing incredibly subtle changes in human body chemistry.
That’s why they may become more interested in someone during:
- Menstruation
- Pregnancy
- Ovulation
- Childbirth
- Illness
- Stress
- Fear
- Recent sexual activity
Scientists and trainers have long studied dogs’ ability to detect hormonal and chemical changes.
In some medical studies, dogs have even shown the ability to help identify conditions such as:
- Low blood sugar
- Seizures
- Certain cancers
- Anxiety episodes
Their noses are so powerful that what seems strange to us is simply information gathering to them.
