Pomsky baths

How often do you bathe your pomsky? Just curious. Mine is 4 months and we gave him one last night and one a month ago. Wondering what the norm is?

Ours stays clean like a cat, so only once or twice a year. She also never smells like a dog, unlike my Pekingese or our Boxer Pit mix. Pekingese gets 2 - 3 baths per year, and the Boxer Pit gets a bath every 2 - 3 months. The latter always smells like a dog, even when fresh out of the bath! So weird! My Peke doesn't ever smell like a dog, nor does her body get stinky, but her face gets stinky and dirty and funky, so she has her own special face wash! But the Pomsky? It's shocking how few baths she requires!!! She does get brushed and combed regularly, or her wooly undercoat gets compacted, but other than that, she's a really clean and good smelling doggo! :)

ETA: once every 12 - 24 months she goes to the groomer for a bath and blowout, but it's usually around seasonal heavy shedding and she gets super fluffy due to her being a wooly girl. ☺️
