    Apart from the odd nibble at horse poo when he was younger, Charlie doesn't eat poo - and he wants to get away from his own poo as fast as possible! We had to bribe him not to pull us down the street after having a poo when he was younger! He would whine, unhappily, as we picked it up as though saying "must you show such interest in poo?". :rolleyes: :D:D:D

    So far I've noticed that Ella doesn't like dog poo but has taken a liking to cat, sheep, cow, possum, kangaroo and, ahem, human :puke:

    Willow has never eaten dog poo, cat poo, fox poo, whatever it is that poos with red berries in it... but sheep, yummy. A bit of cow or horse if it's fresh. Human is the absolute epitome of fine dining in her eyes.

    Jura will eat any poo apart from dog poo, which she looks mildly disgusted at. I can now get her to leave all poo with the exception of cat poo, where she will still grab a sneaky mouthful before leaving it :rolleyes:, so I guess it is a yes for Jura.

    Not added mine as they're not Labs. They both love cat poo & rabbit poo. Coco also likes horse poo and cow poo.

    Snowie is intact and he will only eat human poo. He doesn't eat any other poo -- well, not dog, horse, or bird poo (hadeda poo is v big). We've not come across any kind of other poo that I know of -- although we do walk past a mongoose "nest" but I don't know what their poo looks like. He will sniff at all dog poo that we pass, but has never tried to eat it (thankfully!). He also sniffs his own poo from time to time.

    Perhaps you need a more granular type of poll -- including the types of poo and whether your girl or boy is intact! :)

    Ok, future polls will be designed to identify multiple characteristics of the poo eating dog, including age, neuter status and so on. We can even distinguish between types of poo target! Perhaps we can get a university involved in its design. :D:D:D The University based in Poo (India), Pee (Liberia) or Arsoli (Italy) might be interested....(I got all of those placenames from a Daily Mail article, wouldn't you just know it).

    :cwl:

    You'll just have to make do with 4 questions for now. Don't forget to vote (as best you can, anyway)!. :)

    I seriously am flabbergasted that so many of your dogs have a taste for human poo. Not surprised that they would eat it, of course, because, well, Labs, but that they find it to eat. Seriously, I don't understand. Is Europe one big open toilet?
