Yes if the blood or urine is from a DECEASED person.
No hit if the blood or urine is from a LIVING person.
Big difference.
There was some speculation that those pictures with the tubs in them were taken long ago, at her baby shower (or of baby shower gifts after the fact). Not sure if that was ever proven or not.
Getting here late...did anyone try to magnify those images of the search warrant yet? If so, can you post them please? (I'm still reading @ page 4 of this thread.)
Not true, according to court testimony I've heard from cadaver dog handlers. According to him, if you cut your fingers and bled on the ground, and the blood began to decompose...a dog might hit on that.
Just telling you what a cadaver dog handler has said. I have zero knowledge personally.

Please I'm not picking on anyone but I want to make a point here:
DB has lied about a lot, so how come many here are believing her story that she was DRUNK? How can you believe anything she states as true? Do you not see how her attorney had her make this statement so they have a defense?
please attack the post and not the poster... :seeya:
ah, but she said there was no accident.

Ok, this thread is flying really fast...
Gonna try to answer everyone's questions, if I missed one or more, please ask again!
No, an HRD dog should not hit on the fluids from water breaking.
No, an HRD dog should never hit on urine, diapers or anything of the sort.
No, a body does not have to bleed out or lose it's bladder or anything else for a dog to still be able to hit on it.
Yes, a dog can smell what they are looking for quite possibly from the moment of death, or even as the body is in it's final moments/seconds. (You don't get a lot of volunteers for this one, kwim?)
No, the body does not need to have been in that spot for hours. Think of something rotten in your fridge. You open it up, how long do you need to hold the door open to smell it? Dogs have ten fold the power.
Decomp dogs, Cadaver Dogs, HRD dogs, the name changes depending on who you are talking to and largely how long they've been around. The standard with those that are constantly progressing with the field is HRD dogs. Oh and there are now groups that are straight up making up their own names, which for some of us is good for a laugh, but in reality makes it really confusing for the rest of the world.
Did I miss anything?
Thank you-it says blood, urine and feces with human scent on it, hence my confusion.
What about urine or feces that has been on the carpet for a while?
Did they bring another dog in to confirm the hit?
ETA: From the same link I posted before:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Human Remains Detection Dog
This Detection Dog is a specialist and has never been trained to look for live humans. They specialize in crime scenes, old cases, small scent sources and residual scent. These dogs have been trained to exclude fresh human scent along with all other animal scents."[/FONT]
So a cadaver dog has not been trained to exclude fresh human scent?
Id like to see that please. I'm close to someone who handles and trains cadaver dogs and we talked about this at length last night.
He is in Iraq.
The witnesses who saw the man with the baby at midnight - if it had been JI they saw, would we likely have caught wind of that by now?
