mmoore5553 - You solved the problem! I read what you wrote in your post and I looked at the dog model fixed by you and then I was able to fix it by myself.

I didn't understood very well what you were saying about making a clean model... Can you explain it? Are you talking about the problems I pointed in the picture above with the orange arrows. Am I right?

I'm seeing that Simply Maya it's a very nice community!
Thank you all!
