I can't find where but I seem to remember reading that yorkies generally have a very mild smell. I can't tell that Yumi smells at all. That said some dog will smell more than others I'm sure. I would just want to find out for sure it wasn't medical.
I agree, and I don't think we should ever try to "cover up" a bad odor, some don't have any type of smell and you can give them a pleasant fragrance, but this isn't the same as covering up a bad scent.
