When I got Jack at 8 weeks old, the breeder and then the vet told me to only give him a bath if he really needed it, otherwise just use a damp wash cloth to get off any (yukkies). They told me that a chill could really cause a problem. He is now 6 months old and has had 4 baths, (he hates them) and I keep him clean by just washing the important parts.
Hope this helps.
