I'm still not sure what the dirt is.

If it would help, would you want me to post a picture of her privates?

I'd take her to the vet.....

It's this one :
Welcome to Sergeant's Pet Care Products, Inc.

I'm not sure we have hartz here, but my vet recommended Frontline and that's what I ended up getting.

Thanks for all the advice

The vet said the "black dirt" was caused by her pee. What I do now is try to wipe her off everytime I see her pee on her pad. Still, the black dirt doesn't go away. Now my question is how can I remove it?

And i was wondering, my friend's 5 yr old female yorkie's private part is spotless eventhough she doesn't wipe off her yorkie after urinating.

Have you seen any fleas on her, it sounds like she has had fleas or has some on her now

I really don't think it is fleas. I have heard that it is actually a hormonal thing. I have seen the same dog can have it at times and not have it at other times and they did NOT have fleas. Please don't hurt the poor thing in your efforts to remove it.
