: quick question, do min pins have that smell most dogs have? How do they
: compare to basenjis as far as smell and temperment? Also, i could not find
: a faq on min pins is there one?
Healthy, well kept animals do not have a bad smell. All animals have a
personal odor, so if you don't like it, don't get that kind of animal.
Min Pin is a wonderful little dog. They have a brave and noble
spirit, which is so endearing in a little dog, but they can be very barky.
My dog has a couple of blankets. These get washed twice a week. If
the bedding is kept clean, the dog will be clean and odor free too.

Steve Baby, one man's "stink" is another man's PERFUME. Get another
"s/o." Heh, heh, heh.

Another loyal dog that doesn't really stink is a Schipperke. I haven't
found min pins to smell. Actually none of my dogs have a strong odor. A
bitch might be better also because they tend to be cleaner with
themselves anyway. I love my min pin and the Schip is just like a lab in
a small body. Min Pins have even been known to clean
themselves...although mine has a talent for finding *stinky objects* to
roll in. Besides scientifically speaking noses adjust to smell and
withing a few minutes you and your so wouldn't notice a smell anyway.
Good Luck

I asked my family if they had ever noticed any smell from my Min Pin and
the answer was absolutely no.....If this is your first dog however I don't
reccomend a Min Pin. They have a mind of their own and can be difficult to
train.
