Personally, I don't like bathing Chewy a lot. He is 5 months next week and I just gave him his first proper bath. previously he just got hygeine baths and wiped with babywipes. Now that his hair is getting longer and he will be outside more i will probably only do it every 3 weeks or so. I wouldn't bathe a puppy too much at first. They get cold and nervous and when their hair is short I just don't think they need it. JMO
