My sheepie dogs beard is getting smelly-Any tips?

Summers beard is getting a bit smelly! I usually get a new j cloth cut it in half and just clean with water and then dry with the other half. I used to use shampoo on my other oes but anyone got any better tips.

Moisten her beard, rub in cornflour and leave in for about 10 - 15 mins then brush out, this should do the trick.
I use a few sprays of self rinsing shampoo, towel dry, apply cornstarch, then blowdry. The dirty smelly beard will be gone!
I have Chewie trained to lean over the tub. I place a rolled towel on the floor at the edge to catch any drips, and then pour glasses of water over his nose and chin (oh, I would love a handheld sprayer!) I use a dab of shampoo and scrub, then rinse. Then comes Chewie's favorite - we scrub and rub his whole face with the towel - he loves it!

Sometimes I just use some self rinse shampoo and a wet washcloth for a quick clean.

Also combing through it with a finer toothed comb to get particles out will help with the smell too!
