I personally wouldn't bath any puppy until 12 weeks of age if it is not necessary. The occasional rear area may need attention, but it is not needed to completely wet the pup for this. Reason most breeders will tell you not to bath a pup is because if you get water up their noses this can cause pneumonia. If you do choose to bath, please use extreme caution and use a wash cloth around the face and it doesn't hurt to put cotton balls in the ears to avoid water getting into their ears. |
