Rude Lady! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It probably is the dogs mouth and she just doesn't realize it. A friend of mine has a male and he is 8 yrs old. They didn't brush his teeth when he was little. They regret that but boy does he smell.

I would rude is the nice way of putting it...where did the lady have anything to say...I would have told her that she is missing out on something great because I know that we bath our girls at least once a week and they don't smell at all!!

eshuser · 08-16-2005, 01:56 PM

Callie does not smell bad!! That's crazy.

yorkieagility · 08-16-2005, 02:01 PM

Actually it can be true. I've had a yorkie that was that way and it was because I got him at 4 years old out of a puppymill. The smell was in his pores and no matter how many time I wash him, he smelled. But after 3-6 months of good diet and living in a clean environment he didn't smell anymore.

Passionfruition · 08-16-2005, 02:04 PM

Geez. I really think yorkies are among the LEAST smelly of dogs.....I mean they don't shed, they are mostly indoors, etc....that lady was just plain crazy!

chechinmipo · 08-16-2005, 07:44 PM

That doesn't surprise me. You should have said, then why do you take a shower everyday if yuor going to have body odor any way. Thats such a dumb excuse. Anyways good thing she didn't get one because if she doesn't like to bathe them then she probably wouldn't give them all the additional care they need also.

I am in shock! I don't know what I would have said to this lady but knowing my mouth it wouldn't have been very nice. Becides stinkie breath in the mornings, Gus always smells good. And when he starts getting a little stinkie, he gets a bath. I never hear of such a thing.

What a hag! Some people are so flipping rude.

Laura · 08-16-2005, 08:52 PM

Sometimes people could just keep their opinions to themselves. It was a silly and rude comment to make. She could have just settled with 'how cute'. I am surprised she even has a friend.

I told her that of course if you don't bathe your dog that your dog is going to smell bad... and she said that bathing them did not help much cause she has a friend that owns a Yorkie and that even though she bathes him everyday that he is smelly .And she stood up and left. Can you believe her?

You should have "politely" mentioned that her dog probably had "Mange"...and that perhaps a timely visit to the Vet is in order....

I think yorkieagility hit the nail on the head. This woman's friend probably fed the dog poorly and then overcompensated with daily baths.

But what a witch to walk up to someone and insult their breed. We're talking serious issues.

It is entirely possible that the poor little thing has a skin condition, a dog with a yeast infection can stink to high heaven if not dealt with. I had a maltese that had terrible yeast infection which took years to clear up and trust me that little guy stunk. My vet recommended that I bath him every day but that was just a bit much to put the dog through. It is a shame however that this woman has no manners.

wendybee · 08-16-2005, 11:37 PM
