Question: How long have you had him and have you changed his diet from what the breeder fed him? If you changed his diet dramatically (instead of slowly introducing new food by gradually increasing the amount mixed in with his old food), diarrhea could be the result.
Very smelly diarrhea sounds like Giardia to me. From what my vet told me, depending on the stage of life of the parasite, it can be difficult to diagnose. If it is in the cystic stage, it will show up in a fecal smear. The motile (swimming) stage is more difficult to diagnose and multiple samples may be needed.
