That is probably the problem then. Their urine is quite strong, I change them at least 2x a day.. sometimes 3

I'm thinking that too. I'm going to get my other grand home and do a lot of cleaning. cough*
I do mop the peddles up.

THANKS!!

I know schnauzers are prone to getting those little spongy bumps but not yorkies. And destructiveness - ALL dogs can be destructive if you don't train them

MyFairLacy,
You always give such great answers! In several posts I notice that someone gives a great answer and says exactly what I'm thinking and then I look who posted it and it's always you!

Not to say that all yorkies are stinky... I've only known one personally and will soon have one in my home again (15 days!) But my Winston, who lived 17 years, had a skin "problem" in his later years. I never could really smell him, but my friends said he smelled like Cheetos!

I'm sure that this was an isolated case.

My dogs dont smell nor do they have bumps?? Now my Boykin Spaniel on the other hand tends to smell much more often...

Cujo starts smelling like cheese popcorn after about a week or so after his bath, but he never smells like a dog! We think it is cute that he smells cheesy so we don't think it stinks! Cujo also uses pee pads and if we leave them out for more than a day or so the whole room starts to smell like urine. YUCK!

If you want to ask a question you should start a new thread instead of posting to an old one. This way others will read your question and it will not get buried within someone else's post.

Go here:
General Yorkshire Terrier Discussion - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

When that page opens you will see a box that says NEW THREAD Click that and a new box will open and you can start a thread.

Oh welcome to YT

I agree with the oilyness. With Kayla and Dudley its more an oily look to the hair than a smell. Even Lexi, our schnauzer will have alittle smell to her if she gets out and runs and gets hot, and they are not suppose to have doggie smells either. I would ignore what is being said because if you have a love for dogs there is always someone with an off opionion. Just love your baby and if he or she does have alittle smell, so what??? Like someone said , we even smell if we don't take showers or baths. lol!!! I think you will be real happy with your baby and like I said just ignore the little comments. Good luck and post pictures when you can.

Geesh, just noticed how old this thread was. Should have looked.

To me, my yorkie mix has a more distinct doggy odor than my other dogs. It's not bad, just more noticeable although I've only had her a month and she came from the streets so... With a good diet and regular bathing it seems to be a lot better already. But she does start to smell faster still than the others and her coat seems to get oily looking faster than the others.

She is very destructive though. She just demolishes toys.

But my son just came by to pickup his daughter and asked "whats that smell Mama?" I asked what's it smell like...he said a vets office. hummmm? could it be the pee pads? Hubby thinks that the pads come with puppy urine already on them. Gees I had plan to keep her using pee pads forever and never let her outside...Maybe that is a mistake....I dunno. What do you all think?

And as far as my daughter n law goes it could be jealousy....or she could have gotten a sick dog....I said bumps....but she said sensitive skin problems. OK if you all could help me....I would appreciate it!!!

TIA

just a thought on pee pads i was using the puppy ones and they relly made my kitchen smell i have now switched to human washable ones and there is very little smell to them and they are good for a very long time i have 8 and 1 of them ive been using for about 3 years

Foxy doesnt smell. Now her mouth is foul smelling but thats because she needs a dental. Her former owners didnt think it was necessary to take proper care of her teeth...but Im sure once we take care of that she will be fine. So I have to agree with everyone else, Yorkies dont usually "stink"...JMO

I have been owned by yorkies for 15 years now...None of mine have ever smelled or had any bumps on them!!...Yes they can be destructive at the puppy stage but thats true for any breed of dog not just yorkies.

And if your yorkies ears smell bad, thats a sign of an ear infection and I would get to the vet.

If a Yorkie smell bad and has bumps on them, its a medical issue or Diet and needs a Vets attention as well.
