Slim chance - I haven't had confirmation on the sire yet but I suspect it won't be a long coat. They sure are pretty those longcoats though - but one heck of a grooming session required I'd imagine

I bathe Olive a couple of times a year. She is really easy to keep clean, her wire coat protects her from getting dirt down into her coat, it just lies on top. When I do bathe her I only use washing up liquid suds, so that her coat doesn't go too soft.

i give the leos a bath as and when if needed but generally a couple of times a year.
it takes us hours to wash and dry them and usually need a bath after!
i think it depends alot on the dog and how much of a mucky pup they are......

I voted when they get dirty which is often because they have long hair and love running in muddy puddles!

Only when he needs it, which at the moment is frequently as he keeps rolling in things.

Also he has just learned how to pee on three legs and keeps getting it all over his front paws so they need cleaning quite a lot.

He gets brushed every day though and the odd 'spot clean'.

What a sweet boy - unfortunate for you the three leg trick though LOL!

He sounds like a wonderfully playful boy

really only when they are dirty. I dont think Star has had a bath for about 3 or 4 months now. Finn got one last week and will probably get another very soon.
