All Dogs rely on their sense of smell. Just as humans have a primary sense -vision, dogs have a primary sense - smell.
I'm sure you've heard that when a creature looses one of their 5 senses, nature usually compensates by giving more power to one of their other senses.
It makes sense that a dog's sense of smell would increase as a result of loosing its eyesight. I had a lab/chow mix growing up that had cataracts. She could barely see by the time she was 11, but that girl could smell me out a mile away.
