Why does dogs smell each other?

Dogs smell each other to find out 'who' they are dealing with. Each dog has an individual smell. When a dog smells another dog, they find out sex (male/female), constitution (alpha-based or submissive), and health of the other dog. It is also believed that the age of the dog, possible available food resources, and kinship may be part of the results of the sniffing process. I agree very much with the last answer. When dogs smell each other they are trying to find out the dogs gender, ranking, and were they are from and even if they have a mate or not. So theres your answer!

Why are farm animals the only animals to have the diseases why can't household animals such as cats and dogs etc have the disease as well?

Farm animals are often raised in close quarters and have frequent contact with other animals, increasing the likelihood of disease transmission. They also often come into contact with wild animals that may carry diseases. Household pets like cats and dogs are typically better monitored and have less exposure to potential carriers of diseases, reducing their risk of contracting diseases commonly found in farm animals. Additionally, farm animals may be bred for specific traits that make them more susceptible to certain diseases.
