I agree!! Maltese are just perfect!!
Smell Like A DOG
Is it just me, or do you agree that most breeds have a "doggie" smell to them? :w00t:
I don't think that Maltese or most other long coated breds like Shih Tzus, Lhasas, Tibetian Terriers have a "doggie" odor, but I do find that most other breds -- even toys breeds like Chihuahuas, Papillons, etc. do have a distinct smell that is "doggie".
I think it's because the long coated breds have "hair" and the short coated breds have "fur".
Even though I might like to own a different breed, I don't think I could put up with the doggie smell or the shedding.
Maybe that's why Maltese are sooooooooooooooooo perfect!!!

ivit my daughters yorkie has a odor one day after a bath, he smells musky.Matilda and B&B can go a week and then they start to get a odor.
in all honestly, I don't notice the oder-ness in my two :blink: when they go to the garden frequently, by the end of the week, yes, you can tell that they need a bath, but not the typical oder-ness that my friend's husky tells me about in Silver (the husky who I spend some time with every now and then with my friend - boy, can I notice the oder-ness)...YET, I still LOVE her:wub: here she is the very first time I met her in 2009 (i gotta take some recent photos of her the next time I spend a long time with her and my friend)

now to compare my two malts with Silver, whatever smell that can come from them *from spending frequent time in the garden* isn't even close or frequent to when noticing it in Silver. Besides, they get their baths weekly, so we have no smell problem. Loving the maltese breed. Nevertheless, I still see myself being owned by other breeds can't help it but LOVE them :wub:

Bailey doesn't have the doggie smell most of the time either...I give him a bath every two weeks and closer to bath day, he gets a little "scent" haha but mostly he smells just fine He's a poodle mix.
He's a poodle mix.
I cannot stand ''dog smell." Some stink really bad whether they are bathed or not. It makes me nauseous. Maltese are not like that. Mine have never smelled bad and certainly have never smelled like a stinky dog. The Maltese is indeed perfect:wub: I have never been much of a dog person.:HistericalSmiley:

I agree that ALL FURBUTTS and HUMANS too will "smell" when they need a bath. But, I'm talking about the "doggie smell" that goes along with other breeds -- even if they've just been bathed. (Brit -- you're right about the Frito Toes. LOL)
P.S. -- Bailey -- I meant to include poodles in my "doesn't smell" list.

I like this post.
I thought about starting one similar, so I was wondering if any one loved the smell of their own dog??? I do.
Like a baby, each child has his/her own smell that only a mother can detect and love.
I have a Lhasa and Maltese, my Lhasa will smell when she is really dirty or between baths and I know it comes mostly from her ears which that breed is prone to ear infections with anyway.
My Maltese has a smell behind her ears when she is way past bath time
(which is a lot..bad me :blush.
Other wise I think she has the MOST beautiful delicate smell which really is just her, not a smell:wub:. I actually try and smell her fur as I love on her.
My dtrs chi smells like a dog all the time ( i've only bathed her once so I forget if she smelled after wards.)
I once had a collie. Very beautiful, smart and sweet. I am sure she smelled but it was not a stinky dog smell.
I do know what everyone means,... some of my friends dogs have "that " smell :smstarz: but I know it's a smell only a owner can love.
So I wash up asap.B)

Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one that likes the smell of their dogs,it's more like a light scent than a smell,like with babies. You wouldn't be able to bottle it and sel it,it's not Chanel #5,but it's comforting..... Our cocker has more of that scent than the Malts,they have almost no scent at all,since I don't let them go long bewteen baths since their fur gets dry. Amber ,our cocker,all of our cockers had that scent,we called it "the musties",their own little scent only a mother or father could love. But when the musties get strong,it's a stink and it's bath time. We joke,after her bath,we can't wait until a couple days until she gets her special musties back...I like this post.
