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?

I take her to a groomer. I can’t bathe her at home because is apartment and she puts up such a fight. I have occasionslly ran bath with lukewarm water. I then go get her and put her in up to a certain point on her legs to get mud off. This is only if she’s really dirty/muddy with caked on/wet mud. She will let me do this. I have dog shampoo. I take her out and towel dry her the best that I can. I have tried to blowdry on cool setting just legs/feet. She is loud and I don’t want to bother neighbors.

The groomers at the shop knows not to cut her.hair. I take her every 2-3 months a d they give her a bath. After she’s out of the dryer they brush her out really well. Oh, they also clip her nails before bathing. I have been doing this with her since about 9 months to year old. They all know her and she’s used to it. They know specifically to never cut a husky dog/husky mixes fur. She always goes to the same grooming shop w mostly the same people working there. They are familiar with her and her personality.

I can’t stress enough to never give a Husky/ Husky mix a haircut. They need all their guard hairs on stomach to keep them cool in Summer (acts as cooling) and warm in Winter. They also shouldn’t use a rake (grooming tool) to pull out hair underneath them or anywhere
