A Bloodhound has 300 million scent receptors. To put it into perspective, humans only have 5 million and German Shepherd have 225 million.
Bloodhound
The average dog has more than 200 million scent receptors
English Springer Spaniels have approximately 300 million scent receptors, which significantly enhances their ability to detect and differentiate various odors. This keen sense of smell makes them excellent working dogs, particularly in hunting and tracking. In comparison, humans have about 5 million scent receptors, highlighting the remarkable olfactory capabilities of these dogs.
A dog's strongest sense is its sense of smell. A dog's smell is 1,000 to 10 million times more sensitive than a human's, depending on breed. A human has about 5 million scent glands, whereas a dog has approximately 125 million to 300 million, depending on breed.
The scent of the dogs poo was almost unbearable.
A domestic cat can smell with roughly 200 million smell-sensitive receptors (humans have 5 million). A domestic dog can range from as low, in comparison, as 125 million to as high as 220 million depending on the breed. Scenthounds receptors are obviously on the higher end of the scale. On an average the cat can smell better than the dog but the specific winner goes to the Dog breed of Bloodhound, which can have as many as 300 million. This makes them a clear winner in breed but not in genus.

yes
A bloodhound has a better sense of smell compared to a Labrador retriever. Bloodhounds have up to 300 million scent receptors, while Labradors have around 220 million. Additionally, bloodhounds are specifically bred for their scent tracking abilities.
Olfactory centers are responsive to scent molecules that are detected by olfactory receptors in the nose. These receptors then send signals to the brain for interpretation, which allows us to perceive and recognize different smells.
Yes, scent is a physical property because it is a characteristic that can be observed and measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance. It is a result of molecules in the substance interacting with olfactory receptors in the nose.
No, dogs do not smell with their tongues. They have a highly developed sense of smell due to their powerful noses, which contain up to 300 million scent receptors. The licking behavior in dogs is more related to tasting and exploring their environment.
