I find it unusual that your breeders didn't bathe your kids before you took them home.
When mine are being picked up I make sure the come with ample time for me to give their new owners a grooming lesson. They have their bath, ears cleaned, nails clipped, etc...we go over the whole process. We usually spend a couple of hours together, going over grooming, feeding, shots, vet checks.
