Does anyone know the common working dog average number of smell receptors?

Like how different a bloodhound is form a GSD?

Can't find breakdowns by breed but wifey sad the average was 200 million or so, not that I don't believe her but I did have to verify that, the intrawebz says 220-250 million...:o

Well this news is a little old but kind of relates to this subject and puts a little twist in the conversation.

I personally would think regardless of the anatomy this dog would possibly have the same as a anatomically normal looking dog.
