That may be his "pack" smell. He may also have (good) bacteria in his skin that produce this smell. The more you bathe him, the drier his skin gets and the more fat the skin will produce to moisten it, and the more he will smell. A lot of the smell can be alleviated by taking him outside for walks to "air him out". You may also want to try a change of food. Some foods make dogs smell, especially cheap dog food such as Ole Roy
