    Is he feistier when he stinks?

    This might sound like an odd question, but I have noticed that when Minsk, my 11 month old, male, pup smells particularly "dog like" that he acts more like a bratty teenager then usual.  Is there any correlation between the release of hormones during puberty and the way a dog smells?  He doesn't smell bad per say.  In fact, if you asked him I bet he'd say that he smells great.  These "pungent" days are the ones where he seems to tests his limits the most.

    When my dog comes home from the groomer (even when he didn't smell bad before) he is SO different.  He is happier, jumpier and more excieted so I do think they like being cleaned up.
