One more thing...
We also have a Lab & we only shampoo him about 3 times a year...unless he gets really dirty outside or is in salt water. We typically just rinse & condition him or rinse him off with the hose in the summer. He does get groomed daily though (brushed, eyes, ears, teeth, paws & bum).
Maybe your friend isn't familiar with how often Yorkies need to get bathed...which is definitely more often then most other breeds due to their coat/hair. I was actually surprised at how often I had to bathe Yoshi when I first got him. But I realized that his skin wouldn't dry out with a weekly bath & that he really NEEDS a weekly bath - sometimes even every 5 days.
