So you don't live in the UK, then? That is a place which is normally counted as part of Europe.
Maybe you're a leftpondian denizen. In which case, my apologies for overestimating your countrymen's knowledge of other countries. If, on the other hand, you're Australian, you have my sympathy for having to live so close to Wodders.
Still, my statement that I *personally* have never met a dog that did not have a distinctive odour stands as a fact, no matter where you are.
Maybe English is not your first language?
