Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

asking if I have to bathe my dog is one of the questions I hear most often having a white dog who jumps in anything wet. I always say I never have to do anything and he magically cleans himself and he has been referred to as the 'teflon dog' since he never stays dirty.
Well....in reality, dirt goes somewhere and I do have to clean something!

Our yard is basically all dirt this time of year so you can imagine what my floors look like daily! The pups come in with black paws/faces and the next day they're back to white scratch Razz They are getting a bath tomorrow, but it's been months!

So far I've only had to dip Karli's paws in water (they were muddy and I had to go to work lol) and spray her with the hose once (which she tried to drink the water out of. so do you have to bathe your husky a lot? 1625187496 ) Its nice to not have to bathe her and sweeping the floor after is not that big of a deal!

The back of my car looked like that last night!

I have to give Pippa a bath more than I'd like to though. She is TERRIBLE about playing in th mud at the dog park and with her recall still as terrible as it is, there isn't much I can do. So she gets a bath every few weeks.

When she just a little muddy I usually just brush it off of her after is dries, but sometimes the mud gets too far into her undercoat and I have to wash her off.

I bathe Koda once per a shed cycle, Ro I bathe every 2-3 weeks because she has weird thick fur that holds dirt and crap in it.

The back of my car looks like that after going to the dog park or hikes, thank god I have seat covers. But usually I'll get Thane groomed every 6-8 weeks more or less because he smells really bad at that point.

I know exactly what you mean! My pups have their own dog park in my car! We just bought a Rover so the dog's would have more room in the back and can keep their dog park back there and we can have our half of the car clean. Smile

Thank god I have sandy soil and not dirt! I as well would much rather vaccum then wash the dogs, they get one every 3months or so, when my hand starts being dirty from petting them I know its time. They really do look whiter after a bath but it never last more then a day or so.

Not really. I usually bathe her about once every other month! She usually isn't dirty when I bathe her, but I do it anyways just to give her a clean scrub. Smile

I bathe Bodhi about once a season.
Most of the time, a rub down with a towel when he's wet or a brushing takes care of it.
He does not smell even when it's been a long time between baths.

This sums up Brewer and our bathing schedule.

He does an exceptional job of cleaning himself, though his preferred time of 6:00am is most unfortunate!

Kody "cleans himself" at 6am too! Rolling Eyes I actually gave the 3 nuts a bath earlier and the minute they went in the yard to potty their paws were full of dirty again Evil or Very Mad I told Mya that if she didn't clean herself by tomorrow morning that I would put the muzzle on her and babywipe her down! She's a b**ch and doesn't let me clean her paws. At least she lets me while bathing her though!
