[Mr Gray]

How accurate are they,oh they're pretty much on top of it,99% of the time.

I presume you are saying they will identify cadaver ...if it's present. ...to an accuracy of 99%.

What happens if it's not present and what other substances will the dog alert to

You should know the answer to this by now.

No one seems to know the answer...they might think they do

Apparently 'dogs don't lie' ... the problem is they don't communicate in English and neither do we speak Dog.

I take it you don't have a dog.

My dog communicates in perfect English.

And yes I speak Dog.

What a coincidence!  My cat is fluent in Portuguese and English and he told me he could have done a better job at translating those files.  It might be an idle boast though, he is a bit up himself.

I've got a German shepherd...I'm sure he can speak English but he refuses...he insists I speak German

You know I have a dog ... there have always been dogs in my family ... and I know it is a fallacy that 'dogs don't lie'.

German Shepard = Deutscher Schäferhund in Germany.  Did he tell you that?

Nope.  I don't have enough lifetime left to track which forum members have which kind of pets.

I do have a 4 year old grandson.  So I speak to him in 4 year old.

My doggie is mithering me to say he wants din-dins.  Maybe my dog speaks to me more than yours did to you.

Obviously my powers of recall are superior to yours as I can clearly remember your reply to my post regarding my little cadaver dog.
I agree, certainly not worth looking for - except I was pleasantly surprised that your reply was couched in reasonable terms and minus what I find are the expected acerbic put downs to my posts; which I found extraordinary and quite refreshing.

You have got to be nuts.  My dogs never speak anything at all.  But then I never needed them to do so.  I have always known anyway.

All of my dogs could have found a dead body if there ever was one.

To reiterate "Nope.  I don't have enough lifetime left to track which forum members have which kind of pets."

We could pass each other whilst dog-walking and I wouldn't be able to tell you apart from Eve.

And a month down the line I will have forgotten that you have a dog.

It's all to do with Simple Minds.

I don't know why the keep showing these video's of cadaver dogs alerting to the smell of cadaver,  that is what they are trained to alert to unlike Eddie who was trained with pig.   Any dog will find a decomposing body,  the whole idea of cadaver dogs is that they will alert to the body instead of digging it up and damaging the evidence.

The problem is with Eddie having been trained on pig decomposing flesh,  he will only alert when the flesh is in its last stages of decomposition as this is the time when a pig will give off the same gas as a human cadaver.

Eddie wouldn't have been alerting to cadaver scent in 5a as there is no way Madeleine would have been left to decompose to the state that Eddie would alert to.
