Have the dog alerts any significance?

Some alerts are questionable but the number of alerts is in itself extremely suspicious.

the number of alerts is in itself extremely suspicious that there is a cadaver (someone) in the story somehow, at sometime, for some reason.

I think your statement is right, but (I'm pretty certain) for a different reason from you.

We know that a former owner of 5a died so there could be a link to some of the alerts in 5a but the alerts in the rented villa and to the McCann clothing is something yet to be explained?

Why do you think Mr Grime cannot answer questions on this forum?

He has already broken judicial secrecy by using part of the video of his dogs in action for promotional purposes.
As his evidence would never be admissible in a Portuguese court, what's stopping him answering any general questions on his own & his dogs' abilities?

That's incorrect.  Grime has already told us he cannot answer questions relating to the case as he may yet be required to testify.  Grime never released the video.

You left the rental car off that list.  There could be a link to some of the alerts in 5a the alerts in the rented villa, the rental car and to the McCann clothing these are something yet to be explained.

In my analysis and what Grimes says you would have to consider the 2 alerts to  the McCann clothing and to Cuddle Cat were ruses for there was no attempt to retain the items and no forensic testing was attempted on them.
The pattern of the others - The wardrobe area, the garden the booth, and the key fob could be suggestive of a body on the move.
The alert associated to blood in the tiles is suggestive of an accident (but only minor amounts of blood).
Whether "the accident" and "the body on the move" are linked was not proven forensically.

If that is the case, why hasn't he requested all copies of the video be removed from the internet?

He didn't video the inspections so he has no rights over them.

Would he then have to attempt to remove the PJ files as well?

How did Levy get a copyright on them?

How did he obtain a copyright on something which wasn't his work?

Your "no trained dog will recognize the smell of 'fresh blood'" comment is inaccurate as any dog can be trained to detect any scent and that includes fresh human blood.

Sorry,  I should have made it clear,   that quote from was Martin Grime here is the full article -http://mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES_RIGATORY.htm

Read that article and make your point again.
When I read it I notice where the confusion occurs "'Eddie' The Enhanced Victim Recovery Dog (E.V.R.D.) will search for and locate human remains and body fluids including blood in any environment or terrain. The initial training of the dog was conducted using human blood and stillborn decomposing piglets. "

It is the word decomposed that should be ahead of the words "human remains and body fluids including blood".

Martin was kind enough to supply several answers to questions including those pertaining to Eddie's death, the confirmed date of his retirement from the police, the dogsdontlie website, the role of the USA versus the UK in cadaver dog techniques, Eddie's behaviour in the gym including the fact that the underground car park had been swept for scent prior to the cars being brought in.

Grime "Everyone should bear in mind that should a trial come to pass I will be required to give evidence.

The process of asking me questions etc will only jeopardize criminal proceedings.

Whilst I understand people's interest in the case I cannot be a part of the discussions .... "
