yena Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 We often go on about our dogs and now they smell. Do you thing that if they smell right, they are right???? The reason why I ask is when I got Dilys, I thought I'll know if she's right for us, I just have to smell her. So when I collected her, I put me nose to her beautiful little head and took a long sniff, and she smelt just right So is it just me or does everybody do the same.

JACKYSIAN Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nope you are alone!!! I know my dogs smells, and know if they don't smell like themselves (ie when Tiz needs her glands doing... ) but I can't say it's something I thought about when I got them!! Might explain why Cooper stayed out of all the other fosters..could be his stink co-ordinated with the others!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Jacky is right, you are weird! Not that my dogs don't smell nice, particularly Mollydog who is a fragrant princess, but I didn't pick them on pong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9Fran Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Bonnie is a smelly old lady - she can't help it, she's just old........ Missy has a refined smell Barney just smells like a tarts handbag - no, seriously, he smells of perfume - and his paws smell of digestive biscuits - yummy!

Rudi Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Puppies smell wonderful. I can't say I chose my dogs because of their smell but I can see how smell might draw you to a particular puppy. Mothers and babies quickly learn to identify each other through scent. I thoroughly agree that paws smell wonderful too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurcherGirl Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Can't say that smell was a consideration when chosing our dogs... . Two of them were chosen based on a picture and descriptions from the rescue (Dylan and Flash, saluki lurchers), one of them was chosen by breed and description of the rescue (Troy, pyrenees) and one of them was chosen by breed and colour... (Jesse, American cocker). Vera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 My Breagh and Buddy were chosen because I just love Rotties and wanted to rescue them and My third one Angel who we thought was a Dobe was brought into a rescue and we always said we would like another one after Al left for the bridge 2 years in Dec. but the way madam is gainning weight we think she may turn into a Rotti after all but with me it's tempriment that counts and Black and Tan of course.

raiye Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Should we start adding smellovision to rescue write ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Erm no. I've taken one in from a pound on his pts day. 3 have been sent on foster and I've ended up keeping them. Tess my Yorkie ran up to my dad and he brought her home to me. She was mine from the start but I couldn't go collect her so he went for me. Any he had have brought home would have stayed. She latched onto me like a limpit as soon as our eyes met. I'll never forget that. The other I thought was boring when I met him. How little did I know. It was him or his sister and as his sis was a pup and I already had one of those naughty critters at home we said we would take him in. The pup I got as there were 2 left and the other one was trying to drag Tess around everywhere. So we brought Bracken home who had decided my lap was good for a snuggle the moment he set eyes on me. I do like the smell of some of their feet. Fergus is a smelly beast. Bracken doesn't smell much. Scooby has the lovely foot smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
