RE: Queensland Heeler/Dingo types

Dear Nancy 

Has he had a bath lately? If he has he may be worried that he smells wrong. I
think it's a self- preservation thing.If there are coyotes in the area he
probably wants to disguise his smell to them. Also no dog wants to smell like
a human just like no human wants to smell like a dog!

My little dog (half poodle,  half West Highland Terrier not a very macho
outdoor type of a dog but more of a cute lapdog type really) used to roll in
fox poo which is wet, slimy and smells terrible. I remember we were coming
home from the stables one day and put her in the back of the car. There she
sat looking like a perfect angel and smelling like a cess pit. We had to drive
home with the windows down but she was supremely happy with her perfume. She's
dead now (she was 16 when we had to have her put down) but I'm sure she'd
still be rolling in something. She also used to roll in her own poo
particularly after a bath.

I think all dogs live to be smelly no matter how small, cute and petite or
large and hairy. It is dog law - though shalt smell and annoy your owner. 

Bye 

Annette

I am trying to make this endurance related. As I sit here reading 127 posts
unable to tear myself away.  
Under my desk is my dog, Chippie.  
He smells disgusting. Bad, I am about to gag but I cannot leave until I
finish all the posts.
Does anyone know the following?

Many of us horse owners own these strangely desireable dogs who are so
faithful, loyal, stay with us type animals.

Does anyone know why they rub their ruff (neck hair) in coyote poop on the
trail? And in manure in the yard?  It is such a bad social habit.  Totally
disgusting when they come in the house. Otherwise, I adore him. He is five
years old and still does it.
