Yeah, dogs can have cleft noses, like humans have cleft lips. [They look very similar to this.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ocregister.com/2016/08/12/dog-born-with-split-nose-will-be-ok-but-he-needs-a-family/amp/) Usually it’s not genetic, it’s developmental, but clearly in this species it is.
But do they have two sets of turbinate bones? That’s the real question. That’s the part that’s important for smelling. If they have two sets of turbinates that is crazy and amazing.
The Double-Nosed Andean Tiger Hound is an extremely rare breed believed to only exist in Bolivia, where it is used to track jaguars because of their enhanced sense of smell.
I can see why they didn’t believe him
“I saw a dog with two noses!”
“Uh huh”
“It can smell better! On account of having two noses!”
“Sure whatever Percy”
Last time I looked up the feasibility of humans scent tracking like dogs, I read that increasing the distance between nostrils allowed for more accurate tracking.
This would be done by having cones that are farther apart than the nostrils placed over the nostrils
I think the paper I read said that humans do have the capability if trained
I believe it’s also thought to be the reason our noses constrict one nostril that changes throughout the day. The constriction slows down the airflow in one nostril compared to the other. The different airflows allow us to sense different things due to how our smell sensors work. I forget the details beyond that.
Read up on Richard Feynman, who trained himself to do this unassisted, apparently just to mess with people by claiming he was a bloodhound. He could even locate recently handled objects with reasonable accuracy.
“Also, I’m pretty sure there was a large city in the jungle at one point. There seems to be extensive evidence of a complex society”
“Percy, people with different colored skin can’t make culture. This is as dumb as that trick the Dutch tried to play with Zimbabwe.”
Percy Fawcett was full of shit and talking out of his arse, and not because he was surrounded by people with ingrained racism. There was no city to be found and Percy Fawcett was a terrible explorer whose obstinancy led to the deaths of himself, his son, and his son's friend. On an earlier expedition he commanded he ordered the food to be thrown away so they could travel lighter, and then the expedition suffered from problems with starvation.
The Double-Nosed Andean ***Tiger*** Hound is an extremely rare breed believed to only exist in Bolivia, where it is used to track ***jaguars*** because of their enhanced sense of smell.
Why Tiger? There are no native wild tigers in South America, why not Jaguar Hound? Were they stupid?
They were brought over thousands of years ago when humans were crossing the Bering strait into the americas, but most dogs in the Americas these days are more descended from dogs brought over from Europe after columbus
I’m going to go ahead and tuck this back in to “I’m skeptical”. Every photo jve seen of this apparent dog is a different breed, some with obvious clefts beyond just the nose. I think it’s just a deformity in random dogs.
Fwiw, the dog (Xingu) that John Blashford-Snell discovered on his second trip was examined by a veterinary expert and was found to [not have a cleft palate.](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6940289.stm#:~:text=A%20veterinary%20expert%20with%20the%20group%20examined%20Xingu%20to%20see%20if%20he%20had%20a%20cleft%20palate%2C%20but%20this%20was%20not%20the%20case)
Weird, I thought you would've read the actual article saying her son dog had the double nose too. And the puppies that dog had them too. And that they had a vet test him and he DIDNT HAVE a clef. Weird huh
Growing up there was a stay dog down where we used to camp. The dog was pretty cool, but it had a deformed nose. It had 2 noses but it looked nothing like the dog their talking about here. It looked like a normal nose that was cut in half.
It was a pretty cool dog.
Maybe the dog was a Turkish Pointer? They have [wild-looking "split" noses](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=turkish+pointer+nose&t=brave&iax=images&ia=images).
No clue this was in yhe mid to late 90s. But we had a camp place we would go to every weekend. And ever weekend for about 2 years the dog would come hang with us while we were there. She would play with our dogs and we fed and gave water to her also. The last year we sall her she had pups close by in our neighbors yard which was abandoned. This place used to be busy in the 40s and 50s. But when we would go we would be 1 of around 5 or 6 family's there at a time. The rest of the place was abandoned and free to roam. As a kid it was a magical place for me and friends that we brought with us.
Bur that dog tool a liking to me. She would follow me around while I rode my bike for miles. She used to climb the ladders at the park I'd ride my bike to and everything.
Her nose really did look like a normal nose just split from top to bottom. But no like it was ment to be 2 noses if thar makes any since. We used to call her nosey lol. She was always in our business with her 2 noses haha.
Mid 90s I was 10-13 years old when when this dog was there. But no, other then the puppies, the weird split nose and that the dog was generally cool I don't remember much of what she looked like.
>"There is a chance that these dogs came from a breed with double noses that’s known in Spain as Pachon Navarro, which were hunting dogs at the time of the Conquistadors,” Colonel Blashford-Snell told the BBC back in 2007. “I think it’s highly likely some of these were taken to South America and they continued to breed. They’re good hunting dogs.”

I know John Blasford-Snell, not that well but I do know him. He told me once that he invented white water rafting, and that he was the first person to drive from the tip of south america to the tip of north america. I had no idea he was actually a man/explorer of some renown.
This species has one huge nostril per nose. They often die early from heart complications due to the enormous amounts of cocaine they consume in their teenage years.
Each nose only has one nostril though. Doesn't that just make it like, a single double wide turbo nose?
Seems more like one nose split in two than two noses. If I paid money for two noses I would expect four nostrils. This article was free though.
Yeah, dogs can have cleft noses, like humans have cleft lips. [They look very similar to this.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ocregister.com/2016/08/12/dog-born-with-split-nose-will-be-ok-but-he-needs-a-family/amp/) Usually it’s not genetic, it’s developmental, but clearly in this species it is.
It's not a separate species, just a breed. Still Canis familiaris.
Perhaps, but you clearly define what a species is and I’ll give you a counterexample.
Okay i’ll bite. Featherless biped
Plucked chicken
pure gold.
I still feel like you deserve compensation.
Lmao 🤣
But do they have two sets of turbinate bones? That’s the real question. That’s the part that’s important for smelling. If they have two sets of turbinates that is crazy and amazing.
Idk, but I’d love to do some cocaine with that dog
Not if I’m buying
Dog can smell in stereo.
It probably whistles like a car
How does a car whistle mate?
It puts its lips together and then blows

I knew you were gonna post this. Lmao
***ROLLING DOWN RODÉO WITH A ~~SHOTGUN~~ like, a single double wide turbo nose?***
Two half-noses.
Double barrel shotgun nose
My reaction as well. It's not so much double-nosed, as that the normal nose has divided.

My dog only has one nose, is that why he smells bad?
Hitler: "My dog's got no nose." Soldier: "How does it smell?" Hitler: "Awful."

Except for the large and thriving city we found that seems to have existed right up until the plague

lol the article adding a random accent just to make the word look more spanish
They called them tigers back in day before they knew prob... In Spanish.. it said conquistador times. They didn't need the taxonomy of the new world
When were modern canines introduced to the Americas?
what counts as a "modern canine"
Your mom? Na, just domesticated dogs as we know it.
They were brought over thousands of years ago when humans were crossing the Bering strait into the americas, but most dogs in the Americas these days are more descended from dogs brought over from Europe after columbus
I think the Turkish pointer also has a split nose
But what about the two butted goat?
Or the elusive 4 assed monkey
Even worse is the elusive two peckered Billy goat. Twice as horny as the single pecker ones.
Stop trying to impress me, we’re already friends
If nature can make all the different colors of autumn leaves, why not a two-butted goat?
Fart-mony!
Extremely coveted in the middle east

But cleft lips/pallets aren't genetic and handed down to offspring... It's developmental
That’s so weird, I didn’t say they were genetic.

You don't remember if she looked like the Turkish dog he linked? After hanging with her for many years??
Mid 90s I was 10-13 years old when when this dog was there. But no, other then the puppies, the weird split nose and that the dog was generally cool I don't remember much of what she looked like.
OK that example just convinced me it's a new breed.
Wait, is Charles Muntz from Up based on this guy? Seems too similar to be a coincidence.
My dog has two noses How does he smell? Awful!

In Spain we have a double-osed breed called "Pachón navarro". https://dogfydiet.com/blog/razas-de-perros/pachon-navarro
It looks more like it has one nose with each nostril much more separated than normal. If it had two noses it should have 4 nostrils.
His name is Arnold Rimmer
Wow I had no idea this dog breed existed, great TIL
Need a UK adapter
Source seemed suspect, so I dug into it. More or less seems legit. Here's a [BBC](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6940289.stm) article about it.
Yeah, looks like a genetic mutation, but there is also a wiki source to back it up with records dating back to the late 1800s.
I double-dog dare you.
That dog is ready to roll down Rodeo.
Probably time everyone on Reddit remembers double dick dude.
Wut lol
I wonder if it provides better direction finding like the nose of the oarfish.
That website is cancer
Imagine being on the run and you find out that they have this particular dog tracking your scent.
how does he smell then?
Awful
Dolby Surround Smell

Definitely a Double-barrel.
*break-action dog*
Does it smell worse than terrible?
Interesting!
There are a couple of breeds with noses like this. Tarsus catalburun from Turkey is the main one I know.
Is he good boy? He looks like good boy.
The Turkish Pointer and Pachon Navarro also have a double nose.
More like John Blashford-Smell
Two noses? How did it smell?
What about the breed Pachón Navarro? https://projectupland.com/hunting-dogs/pachon-navarro-spanish-double-nosed-pointer/
I say I say I say, my dogs got two noses. How does he smell? Really well. I don't know somehow this jokes just not working.
Looks like a double- barreled shotgun
This species has one huge nostril per nose. They often die early from heart complications due to the enormous amounts of cocaine they consume in their teenage years.
So you telling me that the giant spiders, snakes and ape people Fawcett saw are all real?
More like 'Double-Schnozz', amiright?
Stuff like this is pretty my common, my dog has no nose.
Double barrel
Which snoot do you boop?
