[nagdu] how often to bathe dog?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

    Brushing the dog everyday and especially before going out will greatly 
maintain the dog's cleanliness.  Andy

Hi, Darryl.  I just got my dog 3 days ago.  My trainer told me that, as long
as I give her daily brushings, Becky will need a bath every 2 months.  We
will see if this works.

Hi!

I like my dog to be clean and tidy and as nice-smelling as possible.  I
brush her regularly, use a Furmintaor once every 1-2 weeks, and keep her dry
as much a spossible.

I know you are not supposed to bathe dogs too frequently because that will
dry out her skin.  Jenny doesn't like baths much anyway, but I was wondering
how much is too much?  nOr how often do you bathe your dog?  Jenny is a
black Lab, so I don't generally worry about long fur, etc.

I bathed her just after New Year's, and just bathed her again last night;
we've had a freeze/thaw/freeze/thaw cycle that has resulted in a ton of mud
and dirt and grime.  I don't plan on bathing her again for another couple
months (until after we get the BIG winter melt).

I guess I am more curious than anything else, and I can't remember talking
about it.

Daryl
