I don't think any of the little dogs like a bath...The only dog I had, that liked a bath, was a 180 lb. mastiff, who got her bath in the back-yard w/a water hose...She was happy to be cooled off...Apple doesn't like her bath, but I just tell her she was born into regular baths, because she's a yorkie lol...I tell her the same thing, every morning, when I brush her hair...But what I do is wash the face/head last, and have three tall glasses of warm water ready to go...It only takes about 15 seconds to pour them over her head for a rinse, and it's all done, and then the warm towel and lots of kisses...I don't like going to work, but I have to, and Apple doesn't like having a bath, but she has to...I wish Apple could go to work for me, and I'd stay home and take TWO baths everyday, and pour water over my head lolol....
