Daisy gets her baths usually every month if not twice a month, and whenever else it's needed in a stink emergency! I'd do it more, but she's a big hound now, and she hates water! So it's quite the chore. But she needs those baths. She gets so dirty, being low to the ground, and if she doesn't get her monthly bath she smells a bit... houndish. Ilovehounds, you know the smell? But speaking of that... I saw on TV a thing saying all hounds smell awful... this is untrue if you BATHE them!
