Both of mine are in long coat and it is a challenge to keep clean. I bath them weekly and about once during that week I stand them at the bathroom sink with just their back legs in the sink and wash their backsides only. I also use wipes after each pee and poop. They know to come to me for "butt checks". Also to make matters worse, Willow has very short legs and whenever she squats to pee, she actually lays her belly on the pad so I have to clean her belly or she would chafe. Just a little something to make sure I'm not bored during the day.
