The Lab Manure Roll
Definately some breds are worse than others. We raised Springers for a while and never had a problem. Goldens are mostly lab blood so I can imagine. I never had any problems with Beagles either. We have Yorkshires and I don't have any problems with them either.
My sisters lab is the same, but their Catahoula doesn't seem to roll.
I know masking sent is inherent in wolves so I guess it is stronger with some breds.

The Lab Manure Roll
My mom has had goldens for years. Some do the roll, some don't. Some love rabbit turds and some don't. One would hunt down the wild asparagus and eat it up. She knew where every patch was in the fields and would systematically check them out. Course it's the same dog that swallowed a chipmunk it caught while the critter's foot was still wiggling. Freaked my mom out.
Her golden that doesn't roll is the same one that was tied to the grill to keep from taking off bumming. He saw a rabbit. My stepdad got a new grill out of the deal. But her other golden loves the roll.

The Lab Manure Roll
I have had Alaskan Malamutes for many many years and being a direct shot off of the Wolf, they roll. Find a dead bird, they roll, find a piece of foriegn Sh-- they roll. My current bithc will roll on her ball or on a dead Lady Bug or even a Fly. As Peters said, I have no doubt it is to mask their own scent. Or baffle the nostrils off of anyone following them.
Some of you younger ones need to grab a copy of Cheech and Chongs old LPs and listen to FiFi and the Gum in the butt.

NHope, Jack Russells love doing it to BTW.
I never could figure out why an animal with 25 times the amount of smell receptors compared to a human would want to make themselves smell worse, but they do!!
A dog can smell 100 million times better than a human being, yes 100 million!!! They can smell a single drop of blood in five quarts of water!!
Yet they still think Coyote poo smells better than $25 a bottle doggy shampoo!!
The good Lord works in mysterious ways friends!!
Best of luck.

Okay guys,
Just looked at K-9 site and they are asking what is wrong with their owners. Don't they know that stuff they pay a lot of money for and put on them stinks really bad. Don't our humans have any sense of smell?
Why any old dead criter or waste, which is free smells much better!!
There really is two possible answers, one the shampo or such really causes them a problem with their senstive noses and they are not able to pick up on other sents or they like playing you for a dummy! Could be both cause some dogs are right smart.

My lab won't go with in 10 feet of any pile or why any thing urinated. Play fetch with her and the ball lands too close to any of the above and she will not get it.

She may be worth allot of money if you could breed her, that is if her off-spring would have the same traits.

She can only be cloned. Breeding was taken away from her as a pup.
