Does your male have a distinctive "boy" smell? - Page 2

Rua, I misunderstood your question

Regarding scent, I only have one dog & don't have another to compare him too.

RocketDog, beautiful picture!

Thanks. (I didn't mean to distract from your question. Just showing he really did spend that time in Cabelas, lol)

My 8 month old intact male actually smells good and clean all the time. I am really on top of his grooming (ears, brushing hair/ teeth, etc). But he doesn't have a stinky odor and he definitely acts like a boy (digging in mud/snow, getting into things). My spayed female actually is pretty smelly. She is old though.

Not one person smelled their hands or said he "stunk".

Rocket is so cute

I get the same comments as well.

He's always a welcome distraction!

Gorgeous! He looks to have the same type of hair as my senior female rescue... And the same square snout and sturdy legs. I've been having her shaved periodically, because of the heat here, but she's grown in now and it's too cool yet to shave her. I need to do some serious brushing out. What type of brush do you use? Product? I have a detangler but it doesn't seem to help much...except maybe to attract dust.

Honestly, it's a blade on side and a comb on the other, I got it at Petsmart. He only gets baths in May/June when he's blowing coat really bad. Otherwise, the snow and rain and rivers keep him clean,

(And I only brush him about once a month. I KNOW I KNOW, but he just doesn't seem to need it!) He is just an easy-keeper. (And he only sheds really bad in the spring)

Ruger used to smell really "doggy" until I took him off kibble. Now he kind of has a faint chicken smell.

I love the way my intact male smells, a very faint scent of warm fur and clean all the time.
