My advice would be this; every dog is different and you need to take alot into concideration when deciding. Does he get out and play alot in water, woods, mud ect. Then you have to look at the breeds, some dogs are much oilier than others and require more frequent bathing. I know the obvious is if they have gotten into something because some of them like to roll in dead animals or poo. It is important to know that if you bath to frequently you could be stipping them of thier natural oils and this could lead to skin issues down the road and alot of people dont realize that it takes time for them to build the oils back up because they dont sweat through the skin. For an average house dog approx 3 months is normal and larger breeds 2 to 3 times a year. Hope this answers your question

It depends if your dog likes water. If she hates water, I would give her a wash about 3 times a month. If she LOVES water, I prefer once a week, who cares if it's a waiste of shampoo. I would rather spend thousands of dollars on shampoo than my puppy being a dirty dog.
