While it may be easier on human sensibilities, giving a dog a bath every week is bad for them. Washing away the natural oils that dogs develop in their coats is a good way to invite fleas and ticks onto the skin. And never, ever wash a sporting dog (especially one that goes into water to get its prey) more than once a month when they're active. The oils are beneficial for them.
I swerved to miss a dog running away from a bath once..it was the weirdest sight seeing this massive lump of soap suds running across the freeway..
