Your dog's coat will determine how often you shower them. Long-haired dogs may need to bathe more frequently than short-haired dogs. In addition, some dogs with thick furs, such as Siberian Husky and Golden Retriever, will lose their natural skin oil if washed too frequently.

As we all know, short-haired breeds like Baxinji clean themselves like cats and rarely need to take a dog bath. Dogs with waterproof furs, such as the Great White Bear (the Great Pyrenees) and the Labrador Retriever, need to reduce the number of baths to help preserve the oil in the skin.
