I just found out this evening how far off a dog can pick up scent. Apparently my 6 month old setter just went into heat for the first time today and as we were running her in the fields near home a dog of questionable lineage made a bee-line for her from a house almost a quarter mile away. It was a good bit of work but we were able to keep them apart until we were able to get her safely out of "harm's" way.
Their noses are just incredible!
