    lol Dave, I too do anal glands, ears and nails once a month to every 5weeks when we do ur baths, the dogs know it's a routine, I do clip nails about once a week, the boys especially, lol

    Well I missed the voting on this thread. But I bathe my Aussie's as little as possible. Usually when we are going to someones house or having a party at our house. Or if they are just plain DIRTY!! With Aussie's you are not supposed to bathe them very often because they get dry itchy skin.
    I do have a question for the groomers out there and I'm going to start a new thread in dog general for that.

    As for the nails. Zoee doesn't need her's clipped hardly ever. Her's usually only gets her nails clipped when she goes to the groomer (which I do at least once a year for a good hair trim). Taggart needs his clipped more often, also because he has all four dew claws.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Ethan: Hardly ever. Maybe once every three months... if that. He never ever gets dirty and he maintains a pleasant smell. Nails get clipped about once a month.
    Skylar: About once a month. Nails get trimmed when he goes to the groomer (every 3 months or so).
    Sala: I have to bathe her once a week(or every other week in extreme cases) or else her allergies wreak havoc on her poor skin. She gets her nails trimmed every other week.

    the BCs-only when needed, and for a real bath thats maybe once or twice a year max, quite often for little spot cleans like muddy paws.

    Electra-hardly ever in the winter, every week or so in the spring/summer..she has seasonal allergies and her skin gets all itchy and a big rash if I dont.

    Ladybug-once a month or so..her big thick collie coat picks up EVERYTHING and she gets icky pretty fast!

    Rusty-less often then he would like. he LOVES baths, but he is pretty much wash and wear..
