I start bathing mine weekly at 6 weeks old. I use a puppy shampoo. If you wait until they are older they will be afraid and fight you. Mine get bathed, blow dried, nails trimmed and butt an ears trimmed at 6 weeks. By they time they go to their new homes at 10 weeks or later, they know the routine.
