Paddy's hair guides the bathes around our house. She has the longer, 3/4 coat and can only go about 10 days before she is smelly (ok, she probably isn't THAT smelly - but Mom sure does love when her girl smells pretty
). Kenzy has the shorter, coarser coat and could probably go weeks without a noticable difference. But they all get scrubbed at the same time, teeth brushed, ears cleaned, and doggie foo-foo spritz...their groomer says their coats and skin look healthy!
