    That is interesting as the Labrador that I know who eats everything disgusting and can suddenly scent it from well over a hundred yards away and will not stop, is a female! My boys do not eat anything unpleasant - so far!

    Well my old boy Nicolae was a champion scavenger and hard core eater of disgusting, unmentionable and often unidentifiable objects - and his chance of pregnancy was zero :)

    My friend's Lab, Alfie, is a poo eater, too. As was other friends' dog, Buster. So it's definitely not solely reserved for our ladies ;)

    I think it might be a girl thing because in our local large dog population its mostly girls who eat poop. Also ladies who have nursed pups seem extra keen. Dogs/bitches who have lacked stimulation and been left with their own poop lying around in kennels seem to be keen to along with pup/dogs from puppy farms. The devil finds work for idle paws.

    Molly is obsessed with male dog pee. Personally I have never had any desire to inhale a male urinal, indeed I always stand as far away from the male loos as I can and upwind if at all possible.
