    Once a month and they are shaved/clipped at the same time.

    Honestly I didn't vote because it all depends.

    With Huney and Roxey it's usually 2-3x's/yr. They get their bath at the groomers unless they happened to get into something very stinky and then and only then do I bath them. I keep them brushed on a regular basis so I'm sure that helps.
    Now Bon on the other hand hasn't had a bath since last March when Amy and Kay were here But seriously he really doesn't need it. He goes out in the rain and gets soaked and when he comes in the house I towel him (and the girls) off. Guess that's what keeps him from being stinky and dirty.
    It's like they get a bath every time it rains

    Oh and I do have the Lambert and Kay Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner that we use when/if we have to.

    Huney, Bon & Simba-missed so very much

    3-4x per year. Autumn is a pretty smell free dog, but she does like to roll outside and get dirty and then she get's a bath. I use Pet's Best Friend shampoo, its cheaper but the smell stays longer. That's what I don't like about some of the fancy shampoos is that once you rinse the dog off the smell goes with it.

    Both dogs get a bath about every 3 weeks. We try not to give Sam baths too often because his skin is so dry. He get's really itchy because of it.

    Sadie is like to give her a bath every 2-3 weeks. Rita on the other hand, LOVES water, (typical Lab) and hasen't had a bath yet, but I'm sure she'll love it!

    I voted twice a year, I think that would be about average but I am not quite sure.
    I only give a bath when they need it. Sometimes I only give partial baths (like Kaige's butt baths when he has the runs).
    Raustyk & Kaige get a bath more often as they get into yucky things more often than Nanook. That and it is hard for Nanook to stand for that long.

    As far as shampoo goes, I keep a variety.
    Currently in my cupboard I have:
    Lambert Kay, Fresh N Clean, Oatmeal and Baking Soda (LOVE the stuff)
    Variety of Four Paws shampoos, Magic Coat Fresh Essence, Coat Pet Shampoo for White Coats
    Variety of 8in1 shampoos, Perfect Coat Black Pearl, Perfect Coat Natural Oatmeal

    I also have some conditioners & cream rinses but the brand names are all unkown, I always get them from vendors at dog shows.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.
