	Well, my Dr. said that I look great but that I have dry hair. They think that will go away as my new food starts to make my coat healthier. My mom wants to give me a soothing cleaning bath but isn't sure when to do it. We think I am about four months old. Mom knows she gave my siblings baths by now but says I'm so tuiny she wants to ask others here!

	I feel you should start as early as possible to introduce them and desensitize them to as many new situations as possible! Just make sure to keep them warm and away from drafts until they are completely dry!

	Hi! My breeder told my Mom that as long as I wasn't stressed (after a set of shots, etc) and as long as the house was nice and warm so I wouldn't catch cold, it was okay to give me a bath any time. I think I got my first bath around 4 months. My Mom wanted to get me used to it also, and it's working!! I hope this helps you

	Thanks you both! Mom says she may give me one next week. It is supposed to rain here the whole weekend and be a bit cooler then it has been so she may wait a few more days. She has a nice robe to tuck me into after she dries me. So I guess this may be my last few days as a dirty pup!
