I was hoping I could teach my dog to sniff out truffles, but alas he's only good at sniffing out chipmunks and groundhogs.[&o]

Molly is really good about sniffing out cat turds...just wish she'd learn to stop eating them.

DJbizz,
You may work around the filters here but I will tell you this now, continued expression in this way will get you suspended from this site.

Ah, but Mary think how handy that'll come in if you ever get a foster who doesn't like using the litter box........

Glenda--lol---The barn I work for sometimes takes ponies to parties and picnics for kids to ride. I did one a few years ago, and was freaking out because I forgot a pitch fork and muck bucket. I needn't have worried! Several people at the picnic had brought their dogs and they dutifully cleaned up after Little Wendy--there wasn't a road apple left on the place!.

My dog ussed to sniff out money. She would hide it in her crate. We have some pictures of a very guilty looking Maggie weith money in her mouth. Shoulda taught her to bring it to me.[:@][

Teach your dog something else, drugs are dangerous. There are a lot of better things to teach your dog to do.

Maybe you are young and don't know better. But what if your dog alerts on the weed at a socially awkward moment? When police are nearby? Or a "friend" of your friend happens to be a dealer and doesn't want the attention drawn to him? I've been around the block once or twice and I've been in some bad places you don't want to go and there are some bad people out there. I agree with others that you should leave the dope-sniffing to the professionals.

Many people here are bonkers for agility and that is a worthwhile pursuit. It takes a lot of work but it can be very rewarding.

You just wrote in another thread that a sheriff lives next door.

Thinking about what Ron just said, I'd say go for agility. Your dog would love it. Beats ending up in jail!

And I wouldn't let my friends come over with weed on them, for heaven sakes if there's a sherrif next door! [&:]

Really Jean...especially a cop with a k9 cop DOG who jumps fences already. Hmmm, maybe THAT'S why he's jumping the fence!

if it could be done legaly,i am all for having a dog that could sniff out drugs..

if an adult or kid came over to my house with it on them,i would love to know about it.

I didn't even think of that. That's a good possibility, especially of the youngster has friends coming over who have marijuana on them. Then, the K-9 is doing his job.

I would be a bit concerned that if the dog finds it, what would happen if he ate it. Dogs eat all sorts of nasty stuff and I'd be a tad freaked out if my dog looked at me with glazed over eyes and had the paste-y-s.[sm=blush.gif][sm=blush.gif]

Well, I'VE heard (not being an aging hippie myself) that there are three stages after a good smoke...hungry, horny and sleepy. I'd sure hate to see the first two in ANY of my dogs!
