Thank you...all of these opinions and experiences are wonderful to hear about. I do however have another question to ask about the "yorkie or maltese" topic....I've been reading on the "maltese" board, that Maltese have a "sweet" smell about them....while a Yorkie tends to stink? I don't know if this is a stinky stink...or just your regular doggy scent? I was thinking, if both breeds, do not have an under coat, and don't shed because they have "hair" and not "fur"....then wouldn't ya think both breeds should have a pleasant smell?.....If anyone knows the answer to this I'd be very grateful for your respose.... thanks againn
