my gf bought a dog. I don't care for the animal, more of a cat guy myself and while the animal doesn't reek per se, it does bring a certain smell into the house that i don't appreciate. I gotta say i kind of got used to it, but a guest i brought over mentioned the smell.
any dog owners got tips?

Open windows more often, clean things the dog sleeps on particularly if you share a bed with them. Try different dog shampoos and more regular bathing/grooming. Even if you keep on top of it you'll still probably have to adapt to it in some form. Strong dog odor is one of the reasons I'll never get a long or double coated dog again.

Basenjis apprently lack dog smell which is one of the reasons I'm considering them. They even obessively groom themselves like cats.

I have never had a white person bring up "dog smell" to me unless they were one of those snub-nosed, 5% african heritage southerners.
I thought this was weird so I'd bring things like pillows and blankets and ask these possibly polite people (after all, black DNA does other things) if they smelled. Nada.
"Smells like fabric"
"Just smells like air"
Sensitivity to this odor is genetic. I am 100% european, and except for my clearly sub-99% and non-white friends no one can fucking smell it.

Same experience. There’s something like warm pine or cedar smell in the distant background but i cant smell “dog stink” and neither can anyone in my family and we’re all pure european
Black and asian people on the other hand always say yo husky stinky. Black people also think white people smell like dog and have no idea they smell like cheddar. Go figure.

Either its a you issue like those retards that cant eat brussels sprouts, or you have one of those poorly bred dogs with an oily/moplike coat that aggregates dirt, like the dog version of those easily matted long hair cats that always leave your hands smelling like litter, in which case get the hose
Dogs and cats are meant to have poofy two layer coats that repel whatever and keep an insulating layer of air in, even the hot weather variants. If selective breeding disrupts anatomy this both will stink.

>race that always had dogs cant smell them because otherwise they’d never get along with half their village
>race that lives in constant fear of feral dogs and has to dodge them to make it to adulthood can smell them from a mile away
It makes sense
