Sniffing the air
The dog sniffs the air in the direction of the dog he
is interacting with.
(Murphy, 1998; Capra, 2011)

In this interaction between two males, the Border Collie
is standing still in a frontal stance with tail raised
and is sniffing the air
in the direction of the Golden Retriever. The Retriever,
who is sitting, turns his head to avert his gaze. When
the Border Collie turns his head and lowers his tail,
the Golden Retriever looks at him; the Border Collie
again turns toward him and, raising his head, stares and
sniffs the air before
taking a few steps forward, stopping with a paw lifted.
The Golden turns his head to the side, wagging his tail
slightly. When the Border Collie leaves, the Golden
Retriever flees, chased by the Border Collie for a few
meters.

This male Dogo Argentino was reported to be in a
situation of abuse/neglect and was seized by
authorities. When a stranger approaches his kennel run,
he wags his tail and sniffs
the air in the direction of the person.
