I usually bathe them once a week, sometimes we go 10 days in winter, but then my sister starts 'suggesting' that they need a bath.

I must say, it is great living with my sister. She loves brushing them and fixing their hair, so it makes it easier for me, having to brush two really active dogs daily.

I try to go longer in between baths in winter and I try to plan their baths for days that are a little warmer, but if that doesn't happen - which it often does when we have one of our legendary two week rainfalls - I just turn on the heater and make them some warm water bottles (covered in fur) to cuddle with.

I use a detangling shampoo and a silky, smooth conditioner. I also spray them with leave-in conditioner before drying. They smell so good after a bath!

Ps. I also groom them myself, so with every second bath we do a slight sanitary trim and I cut their nails.
