Poor thing, who knows what she went through before you got her. My older brother rescued a 3/4 Great Dane from a household where she was "only beaten when she barked or made noise .." The poor thing was terrified of everyone and everything when I first met her, and clung to my brother like he was a security blanket.

In time, Princess (named by my then 6-year-old niece - only a small girl would name a big black galoot of a dog (130 pounds when full grown) Princess!) became a calmer, braver dog, and helped raise her three human siblings.

I am so glad you have her, and love her, and are working with her to overcome her issues. I wonder if her "stinkiness" could have to do with food allergies, if it's not the sebborhea.

What's her name?
