Some people think that dogs smell because they are dogs and by definition they should smell of something. Others think that this does not apply to purebred animals.
Others are sure that everything depends on care and attention, and not on Mother Nature.
Let's try to understand this diversity and find out if it's true that there are dogs that don't smell like doggy.
Why do dogs smell?
The reason is in the glands on the animals' skin. They secrete a substance that protects the dog's body from hypothermia and the fur from getting wet.
Can dogs not smell?
In fact, skin glands exist on every dog's body and work in much the same way.
But depending on the circumstances, in certain breeds this smell is not so persistent and pronounced.
What kind of breeds are these?
First of all, it is a Yorkshire Terrier.
The miniature dog has long been accustomed to city apartments. Among the many positive features of this breed is the absence of headaches for owners and the almost complete absence of the known smell.
Secondly, it's a Dalmatian.
Young dogs of this breed have almost no smell, and all thanks to the absence of undercoat. But in older dogs, everything can change, despite this feature.
Thirdly, the Maltese.
Not everyone likes these dogs, but in addition to the lack of a dog smell, they also do not shed. And this decorative dog has a character that is what is needed, which is why they are often taken into houses with children.
