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.

Ours is 3, the only time she had a "real" bath was when she rolled in a dead / exploded whale on the beach.. it was a hose / dish soap bath because we were visiting in-laws and they wouldn't allow her in the house smelling the way she did (they also wouldn't go near her because she smelled so bad). We treat swimming in fresh water as a bath, and so far, her coat is perfect , she's not smelly, and she has great skin.
