the frantic issue may have been just because you were there. My babies will act up if a stanger comes in, especially if I have a mom with babies inside. All the other act if they are protecting the babies. I usually crate everyone if I know someone is coming to see a puppy, so all the Malts that have the run of my home are not happy with that, they want out! That may have accounted for the noise?
Now the smell humm, I clean every day, sometime they go with they get excited, but if you smelled more than that, I would check closer for sure. Look at your puppy. Look for fleas, Look at the cloring for disclored due to unclean hair bottoms. They will poop, but you have too clean it up. If you have too many to clean up after, you may have to many to socialize also.
The noise I know is pretty normal, as they were probably excited to see you.
