Ok, I cleaned her ears until I didn't really see anymore stuff. The breeder showed us how to clean a dog's ears, and the stuff that came out of Angel's ears looked like the same debris as the breeder's dog's ears. We told the breeder about the smell before, and she said that sometimes they rub their head/face on the pee pad, which is how Angel is going potty. She said that if the odour was still there after bathing her, it might be something. I think it took a couple of days for the smell to come back. I'll definitely keep an eye on her ears. Thanks again!
