she does not smell anymore. Someone who posted assumed she did. She smelled of urine and newspapers when I got her.I gave her a bath and she didnt smell anymore-except from the shampoo. My dogs are very clean, none of them smell and their fur shines like you wouldnt believe. I cannot stand a smelly dog so a tiny urine/newspaper odor overpowers me. My big dogs hate me-bi weekly baths. If they roll in grass and get some smell it means a bath.

The post was about coat changes-her coat doesnt look shiny and smooth. Its kind of rough, wet & wirey looking. I was wondering if there was an ugly stage or a stage where their undercoat comes in making them look-ratty.

I spoke to vet at her appt this morning and vet said she probably needs a dietary change. She & her mom probably werent fed a high quality food which is showing in her dull coat. I feed high quality food to all my dogs, also supplement with vitamins to make sure they look & feel the best they can. Vet said I'm used to dogs in top shape whom have had the best from day1, Dixie hasnt recieved that care yet and it will take time to get her there.
