took the dog for a walk up the campsies this morning and she was hoovering sheep shit pellets as she trotted along like a whale sieving plankton - I did contemplate whether I could deter her using maltesers spiked with wasabi, but it doesn't seem to do her any harm. She seems to love the taste of horseshit as well - gobbles up as much as she can before I chase her away from it.

Yup - mine once managed to get right inside a huge, very dead ewe and completely cover himself with the stench of death, but fox poo is deffo the worst. He gets an outdoor hosing to get the worst of it out of his long, fluffy fur, then a shower - if we try and bath him we end up with fox cr@p all over the walls and ourselves. At least in the shower we can contain him....

mine likes eating everything, and rolling in anything, was getting washed 3 times a week and yes, I know you aren't supposed too however the stench means that you cannot be in the same room as him, once he has covered himself, and swimming in pools/rivers does nothing to water down the smell.
worst yet was when he found a rotting fox corpse, and was rolling in it and when I chased him off him would pick it up by its (rotting) head and run off with it trailing the corpse behind him, with bits falling off until at a safe distance and do it again. **** got jetwashed for that one.

One of the most expensive ingredients in the most expensive perfume is ambergris. It's whale poo.

wolves do it
dogs are the same species as wolves

Dogs are a subspecies of wolf. The Wolf is "Canis lupus" and the dog is "Canis lupus familiaris"

Dogs are a subspecies of wolf.
but can still interbreed... presumably if not eaten instead ?

apparently, the wikipedia entry is kinda weird and I should imagine the result isn't the cleverest thing to own.

the ability to interbreed and produce viable offspring is a good guide to what makes a species, it is however more complicated than that.

Lolium perenne x Festuca pratensis = Festulolium loliaceum which is viable

I've got a reasonably bright dog; he can open doors by twisting the knob with his teeth, open the washing machine and sort through coats to find treats in the pockets and if he can't get the zip, he tears out the pocket from the inside of the coat as its easier.
So screw owning a dog brighter than that.

Today I "scent marked" the dog - was taking an al fresco piss midway through our walk, when she came up behind me and stuck her head between my legs. She seemed remarkably unfazed, although the wife is less than impressed that our dog stinks of wee...

My deerhound/lurcher used to love to roll in fox sh!t. That is ten times smellier than dog sh!t cos they eat anything! I'd give anything to have him back no matter how bad he smelt. Dogs don't you just luv em!

I caught our Goldie eating a well-rotted fish on the beach once. Looked like a bass. I managed to retrieve the skeleton from her throat just as it was going down. The rest of the fish reappeared all over the inside of my car a short while later. I've never sworn so extensively or inventively before or since.

It's strange that animals wouldn't be a little worried by a huge fox poo stalking them

Because they remind you that life is as much fun as you make it.

Well, it gives you the chance to cooperate and build a two-way relationship with an entirely different species, built on trust and understanding. But in my case, mostly because Ted makes me laugh like a drain every day.
EDIT: Now I've seen Richc's answer, I prefer that!
And, when it comes to lurchers, for this:
