So how many baths can I give my gsd? I heard you can or give them 2 a year. And when is a good time to bathe him?

I was told about twice a year from the breeder. They washed him when I picked him up. He was 3 months old then and I just gave him a bath 2 weeks ago. He was almost 9 months. I could tell it was needed. He was feeling not so clean when I pet him.

Bathe them whenever they stink to YOU. You shouldn't have to live with a stinky dog. I only give mine a bath whenever he gets into some nasty stinky sewer type water. Anything else and he smells fine. A good spray with the hose is good enough for me. Bath with shampoo is twice a year if that.

I think I would die if I could only bathe my GSD twice a year. If you use a mild, non-stripping dog shampoo, you can bathe as often as necessary--as often as every 3 weeks if you want. Most of my GSD clients come in once a month. But brushing is more important than bathing. You can brush every day.
