Can Ear Mites or an Ear Infection in a dog Cause Bad Breath?

bad breath
Rose D asked:

I have a 5 months old Miniature rat terrier and I THINK that she has ear mites. There are black grain like thingys in her ear that resemble coffee grain. She also has extremely bad breath that she can’t seem to get rid of.

Is there a chance that stubborn ear mites could cause stubborn bad breath?
