I know what you mean. I have 6 now (one is my older daughter's dog that will be moving out with her soon - so we will be down to 5). Bath day takes the whole morning. I don't know how she does with 13 and not to mention the puppies. If I had that many (and I wish I did have more some days) - I would hire help, I guess. And I had one of my females just finish her heat (no - we did not breed) and now have one more that started (not breeding her either). What a trip - the males were going nuts - crying and howling and not eating and one constantly paced back and forth all day long. It is driving me nuts. Luckily one male will leave soon (my daughter's) and the other is getting altered - leaving me only one male that can. I feel so sorry for them going through this. We are doing a great job keeping them seprated here at home and using child gates - two high (one learned to jump over them). But anymore than this and the males would have to be in another house - for both our sanity!
