I can understand people getting the wrong information about bathing an animal. Even the "pros" can make me wonder sometimes. I saw a vid one time of a very influential breeder bathing one of his animals with a bad shed in a pan of water. This is a guy I respect and I even have a few of his animals in my collection. For the life of me I cannot figure out why he would have done this other than it was the less work intensive way to get it done.
