Do dogs smell?

We have 2 labs and one american cocker. The 2 labs never smell, unless they been rolling xD. But the american cocker does start to pong after a while :p
 
My greyhound doesn't smell but then that is to be expected as it is a short coat and she doesn't like getting dirty, scared of undergrowth, keeps on the paths and walks around puddles lmao.
 
Blimey, how times change.
I started this exact thread several years ago and I got slated and now everybody is admitting their dogs smell.
 
Dogs smell. The smell pervades the house and the dog owners, but very quickly the dog owners lose awareness of it. Other people don't though!
 
I have 4 border collies and while they don't noticeably smell in a well-ventilated environment, come morning when they've all been shut up in the kitchen overnight there's a definite slap of doggy whiff in the air. Opening the back door clears it out in n time and aside from that the only thing to worry about it Peggy's breath (she's really, really old and old things of any species smell).

Edit: For what it's worth, of course, those who don't own dogs will always be more sensitive to the underlying smell of dog in your home. I'd still rather have dogs in my home than cissy whingers who bring hankies to sit on and keep a lint roller in their man-purse. I'd say it's worth having a dog for that reason alone, even if you don't like them that much.

what I find funny is those people who HATE dogs normally crap themselves around Max when he's a big sook.

Heh same with my dogs.

They smell. Yeah I can tell the difference when they're in the house and when they aren't, it's something you get used to as a dog owner.
 
Posting in Epic Logical thread.

Although if you are the owner of said animal its very unlikely in most cases you will admit it.
 
My mum and dad have a chocolate lab. When he's hot or has been rolling round in fox crap he smells.

When he's about, he doesn't. When I walk into their house I can't smell dog unless he's been doing either of the above (recently obviously - they don't leave him covered in crap).

When he comes to my house, the only I evidence of his presence are the hairs and his dog bowl.

When he stinks, he stinks though.
 
Only washed my Boxer half a dozen times in 12 years when she has rolled in something etc and she gets complemented by strangers on her clean, shiny coat; only a very slight doggy smell when close up too.

Everyone's home smells different to a visitor; some of smoke, some of dog and some of cooking etc etc certainly wouldn't comment on it unless it was extremely bad.

Did you miss the last line of my post or do I have to come over there and beat it into your eyeballs one letter at a time? ;)

Problem is that you post what you say in a deadly serious way, with little or no indication that you're posting tongue-in-cheek, so it's understandable that people might misconstrue what you say to be out of order.
 
You actually find that, if they're fed a proper raw diet, dogs don't actually have that 'doggy' smell. I've kept working dogs since I was old enough to walk, and more than once I've had a visitor express surprise at seeing the dogs in another room because "I normally smell them" or "you can normally tell".

Don't get me wrong, I have terriers and they certainly come home with their fair share of smells. :p But fusty doggy odour, thankfully, isn't one of them. The difference when I walk into a home with 'normally' fed dogs is... noticeable. :o
 
The smell from a wet dog is the one of the foulest smells in the world.

My missus loved dogs but i cant stand them, they smell awful and make your house smell as well.
