I have a white shepherd AND a white husky. Everyone told me the husky never needed to be bathed and they were sooooooooo clean. Yeah right - my guess is that their dogs don't ever get to play in mud or rain. My husky is constantly getting dirty. We bathe the shepherd maybe once a month and the husky maybe every two months, BUT we hose them down as they need it. If I didn't, they would look like dingy street rats!

PS I also use baby wipes for small messes, and they DO work well!

I have 7 dogs that all need baths. It has more to do with reducing shedding but also I live in the desert in all dirt. No grass at all. Lots of weeds and stickers and mostly long coats on my dogs. We also have horses, goats, pigs and poultry. My dogs love to roll in the poo. After they run they wade through the duck pond to cool off. They drip in slobber. Then they want to sleep in my bed. I do have to brush them everynight to get the dirt off but they still need baths.

you let them sleep on your bed after they roll in poo?
