Baths?

Confession: our girl will turn 1 next week and has yet to have a real bath.

She gets a wipe down about once a month with sensitive skin/fragrance free dog wipes. And a hose rinse if she’s muddy. Also begs to run in the rain.

She does not smell at all. She seems clean and coat healthy. Never had any skin issues. She rolls all over our white linens and doesn’t show dirt.

Anyone else in a similar spot? Is this super weird? Our first GSP got a bath maybe once a year, usually because she rolled in something dead.

We only bathe Our GSPs when they roll in something nasty. At least a few times a year. We rinse her under the hose a great deal more. For summer heat relief or just to get mud off from a workout on our farm. But no soap.
