Like any little girl she squats to pee and I think the problem comes from a combo of her being so little, furry and just general anatomy. I think as she's going, through no fault of her own, she's getting her underbelly and even the insides of her back legs wet.

It's not practical (nor probably advisable) to bathe her every 3 or 4 days. Anyone else have this problem? How did you solve it?

Thanks!
JMO but I have always found that puppies have to be trimmed to keep the urine out of the hair. It is a habit that I have kept up with my last yorkie.
