This is an interesting thread - simply because this subject comes up so often. I am inclined to believe that Yorkies - but perhaps only some Yorkies -may have an odor that most other dogs don't have. (This subject just comes up too often for there not to be some truth to it.)
I do know that when my pup was only a few months old - I noticed an odor for a while then - but it seems to have gone away.
My Bichon - never has any odor at all. He can go 6 weeks without a bath and play outside all day every day -- and smelling him is like smelling fresh air. Bichons are known to have no body odor.
Then my Yorkie. He certainly does not smell - but he definitely smells a little more like a dog than my Bichon ever has.
Whatever - all we can do is give out little guys bathes when they need them.
