getting their sniff on....

[xlynnx]

Well its finally happened on last nights walk.... zoe got her sniff on 

Its the first time she put her nose to the ground and followed the scent of something or someone.   Just as well she was on her extending lead

I always thought she preferrd to run about rather than sniff but something caught her nose last night 

Is she a late developer ( 7 months ) or do these things come as they mature ?

Probably like everything else - it depends on the pooch, maybe some pups have so much more to learn and get used to  in their young lives, it takes time for their 'sniff' to engage    I can tell you (from a scary experience  ) that once they do get 'the sniff' in full working order, they will sometimes ignore you and nothing else is important, so a good idea to have a very reliable recall in place.
