How fare can a dog smell?

Depends on the breed. Some breeds were designed to smell and they are the best at it. All dogs smell several THOUSAND times better than a human. Bloodhounds can smell scents in the air so even a person they are tracking hops a bus,they can find him several miles down the road. German shepherds,labs,and such are used as drug dogs as they can find the tiniest hint of a drug amongst thousands of other smells. There are now even cancer detecting dogs that can find a cancer deep in your body . So I guess there is almost no limit to how far a dog can smell.

They did this because the process of capturing slaves would be gradually easier with the dogs because their key sense of the smelling of everything in their surroundings to everything in far distances, of course it would get weak and very poor when the bloodhound got near water. But, overall they were used in the process of tracking escaped slaves because their strong sense of smell.

Why does your dog like to smell your groin?

It is a natural dog behavior to smell "that area" on other dogs and people, because this is how dogs gain information about the person/dog that they're smelling. Much like people get to know other people by what their faces look like, dogs tell people (and other dogs) apart by their smell, and the part of the body where that individual smell is strongest is, well, the groin/rear. So, it is just how the dog tells you apart from other people.
