    For another example beyond body profile, bloodhounds actually have more scent receptor cells than any other dog according to this article. A study from 2016 shows that scent hounds indeed perform better at sniffing for stuff. I did find a recent article about a study claiming to find evidence to the contrary, although it's a pre-print study that has not undergone peer review yet.

      None of this says anything about behavior or human aggression.

        Hi again - I hope this doesn't get too confusing since we've got two different threads going on but I'm not making any claims about human aggression. Maybe "behavior" if we count smelling things as behavior.
