Hi everyone...I would like to ask how often you all bath your Yorkies. I have a 30 week old little guy who shines just beautifully when bathed, but only for about a week, then his body coat tends to dull and I bath him again. I have used various spray leave in conditioners with oil, etc. in-between but they only work for what seems like just hours. I have been told I am bathing him too often...What are your thoughts??? I only bath my Sheltie and my poodle every three weeks or so which seems O.K. for them. My dogs are primarily house dogs and very seldom go on walks other than around the house! I sure appreciate any advice on the Yorkie's bathing schedule. Thanks!
