My Aussie had no dog odor throughout his 14.5 year lifespan. He had a beautiful wavy coat, I've not seen many like him. Is this normal for the breed, or does this indicate other influences? I would like to know as I am in pursuit of another puppy and would like to find another with some of his good traits.

My 8 month old Aussie does not have any odor.

My aussie also has a wavy, cowlicky coat and does not smell at all. She is an outside dog. She is a joy.

I have had three aussies and none of them had any odor, but did require occassional baths. The coat can be straight or wavy and either is acceptable.
