How often would you bath a border collie dog?

Question

My boyfriend has had his new border collie for about 3 months and has never bathed him. Can any of you doggy experts tell me how often a dog gets bathed?

Answer 1

You don't bathe collies. That will make their fur mat. A good brushing at least weekly is all they should need.

Answer 2

If it is a working dog, like on a ranch or farm, which is what border collie's were bred for..then dont bathe him/her.

If it is a house or apartment pet...he should have started young to get the dog used to it...Dogs were never meant to be bathed. But in modern society, people have them as house pets, so I would say call pet smart and find out..

Answer 3

I would not bath the dog any more than ince a month, more than that can dry the skin and end up having many problems, if you dont really care for the dog you could bath a lil more just so you can live with it but it will proballly end up with some problems, dogs are not built to bath like people

Answer 4

1 week winter 2 to 3 weeks summer

Answer 5

1 a week - winter 2 - 3 times a week in summer

Answer 6

a dog who has a lot of dirt and fleas in it should take a one hour bath! it shouldnt take a bath unless it needs to

Answer 7

I would take it too be groomed about every 3 months but you need to brush him about every other day

Answer 8

No more than necessary to control D.O. (dog odor) or if it rolls in "something"

Answer 9

not very often, for you'll wash away his natural oils and he'll have excess dry skin, which he'll scratch and could cause sores,
