Why does my new 7 week old blue nose pitbull puppy have the worst smelling breath ever? He's so sweet and active and good stool is normal kind of loose but not runny at all. His breath is just so bad not like puppy breath at all

I still don't understand how anyone likes puppy breath! It has always just smelled like dog food and spit to me, lol. It is odd that there would be foul odor in such a young dog, so I can't say for sure what could be going on. Infection, loose teeth, trauma (such as biting an electrical cord) could be possible. I would recommend having your vet check out the odor.
