Its up to you really. I bath / shower my dog every 6-8 weeks but in the winter she could go in every 3-4 weeks. Everyone has their own opinion about this, its all about personal preference

I bath my lot when they need it.

IE. When they have rolled or swam in something totally revolting, poop, mud, more poop, more stinking mud, more poop etc etc

No set baths, just when they need it

I've never needed to bath Stone.
I know the rescue in Cyprus bathed him the day before they put him on the plane for me - with 'whitening' shampoo - he nearly blinded me!
People always say to me - he must be hard to keep clean - but even when he is BLACK with mud he is always sparkling a few hours later. Can't say the same for my carpets....

I don't bath my dogs.
Occassionally Cosmo will be hosed down...but that is quite rare to be honest (as I don't/won't do it in winter...when he is at his filthiest).
We have magic orange cloths so my dogs get a quick wipe over...

I usually only bath when mine they have rolled in something smelly or if they are being shown I will sometimes only wash the white bits on them.
