I already did in asking the question, now you follow. Think. If the prominent smell in a package is something other than the cocaine, how is it determined that a dog will not be more sensitive to identifying the other sources of odor than the cocaine?
Have you ever heard that dogs have a good sense of smell?
Quote:
Smell
While the human brain is dominated by a large visual cortex, the dog brain is dominated by an olfactory cortex.[113] The olfactory bulb in dogs is roughly forty times bigger than the olfactory bulb in humans, relative to total brain size, with 125 to 220 million smell-sensitive receptors.[113] The bloodhound exceeds this standard with nearly 300 million receptors.[113]
Consequently, it has been estimated that dogs, in general, have an olfactory sense ranging from one hundred thousand to one million times more sensitive than a human's. In some dog breeds, such as bloodhounds, the olfactory sense may be up to 100 million times greater than a human's.[127] The wet nose, or rhinarium, is essential for determining the direction of the air current containing the smell. Cold receptors in the skin are sensitive to the cooling of the skin by evaporation of the moisture by air currents
How did you even not know about this? 
I did, don't know why you thought you could assume otherwise. This doesn't address the question. Silly answer. A dog enters a room. There is the strong smell of solvent coming from one side, and some not-so-smelling cocaine on the other. Where will that dog go?

Yep. And I still know that you're not gonna have enough in those crystals to smell it. It's trapped, remember? Have you ever smelled ether, toluene or kerosene (the main solvents used in cocaine production)? None of those smell anything like the way good cocaine smells.
You're not knowing what you're talking about here. The smell of cocaine is mostly solvent. Yes, cocaine does sometimes smell like toluene. No, cocaine never smells like kerosene, because it isn't crystallized in kerosene. It can have a smell of acetone, other solvent, or a mixture, and the other thing that contributes to its smell is whatever it might be cut with. Good cocaine that smells, to humans, mostly only does so because of the other stuff it's been introduced to. Take some of your good cocaine, put it in a container along with acetone, toluene, or whatever, and let it sit for many hours, then dry it. I think you'll feel at least a bit noxious when putting it into your nose. Since you're sure that cocaine doesn't smell like solvent, it's no risk for you.

The dogs are just addicted to the drugs so they are essentially fiends who need a fix when they find the drugs on the people the cops give them a registerd fix at the station. thats why dogs are so good at finding them.
Is this true? That actually makes sense. They'd be familiar with the odor of coke being desirable to them, so they'd single it out from sources of smell that don't contain that element.
