Yorkie Scent

[shawnzeppi]

Our Yorkies have no detectable scent by human standards from any sort of distance, but if you are holding them up to your nose they smell good to me, very faintly musky but hard to describe. Of course, we don't let them out alone and don't let them roll around in skunk poontang, something they enjoy at times and will indulge in, if you are walking them and don't keep an eye on what they are up to.

They especially like to rub their muzzles in skunky poontang, which is hard to see ahead of time and stop. When they do that, we wash their muzzles with anti-bacterial soap and water when we get back home, and that always has worked in getting rid of the temporary stink without having to give them a bath.

If they have not rolled on somthing nasty, do you like the scent of your Yorkies?

There have been fun threads on YT discussing our furbabies scent! I think Rio and Bullet smell wonderful. Kind of like line-dried laundry!

Remy used to have horrible breath... this is gross... the vet said it was because her anal glands were impacted and she licked herself ewwwwwwww and then kisses me ewwwwwwwwwww

That was all taken care of... thank heavens!! Didn't tell dh

I have heard of Frito feet... was it on this site?

Lexie smells good all the time, she usually smells like a mix of her conditioner and my perfume/body lotion. She doesn't have that typical dog smell either, i used to say dogs smelled like stale hot dog water but i guess yorkies are an exception

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes their Yorkies' scent (when they haven't got into anything disgusting, that is)

Interesting comments about "frito feet." Makes sense because thier pads are the only place they sweat from.

I feed mine Nature's Recipie for toy dogs, and it is chicken, barley, oatmeal and rice based, so its no wonder I have never encountered this frito thing. But then again, I only sniff the top of their head, just to be on the safe side

I keep mine perfumed - bathed one/two weeks, conditioned/perfumed (doggie perfume, which I wore once myself and actually got compliments!!)
In the hot summer; however, after they've been running around, they'll stink like dirty sweat. Yuck.
