Spencer loves to have a wash. Tatze has never licked herself in all her five years - she’s far to much of a princess!
Zaba is a bit of a stinky monkey, so I give him a rub down with Cowboy Magic once a day - keeps the whiff away.

The pig cleans her puppy boobies every evening before she falls asleep, but doesn’t normally clean much else. I only bath her after a particularly dreadful rolling session. I don’t think she smells but may well be nose blind! But I can tell what garden mischief she has been in by the smell of her head - it either smells of tomato plant if she has got in the veggie bed or rosemary if she has been trying to get in the fruit bushes because her ‘secret route’ is through the herbs!

Maisy gets a towelling after every walk, wet or not, just because she likes it. But I only bath her (sponge down in the garden) if she smells really nasty. She rolls in stuff all the time but it doesn't usually smell so the towelling probably deals with that.
She regularly cleans her lady bits, chews her nails, nibbles her feet, legs and tail. Her first wash and brush up is usually first thing in the morning (5am) when she has jumped on our bed. She takes her time about it and the whole bed shakes, we can't sleep until she's done then she is instantly snoring and we are .
Sometimes she pays more attention to her bum if her glands secrete, she is very good at keeping that in check.
I don't think she has a nasty doggy smell and her breath doesn't smell bad either but I could be nose blind too.
I would like to know if there is that doggy whiff when you walk in my house but everyone is too polite to say so, I am sure my car smells awful.

Maxx cleans his boy bits and occasionally licks his feet. That's it. He has had 3 baths in the 7 months we've had him as he smelt pretty bad (mostly from going into the bog at the dog park).
Same. I'm sure I have both too but who cares?

Xena will chew her feet from time to time, gives her girl penis (trademark OH) the odd wash, the odd lick of her paws and tail, and the odd lick of her torso, but I wouldn't call her a "groomer" - or maybe she does it during the night when we're in bed. Her last bath was on Boxing Day, and she's only got a very faint doggy smell now. She goes for the odd dip in streams, and her legs get hosed off after every walk in winter because she gets muddy. I'm so grateful that she doesn't have a doggy smell.
We call it her "Hershey kiss"...isn't the shape identical!?

Harley keeps herself clean, but not every day. She doesn’t smell usually, but if she’s stood in something smelly she gives me her paw (what a princess!).
She swims/paddles virtually every day so doesn’t get bathed. In the winter, after a cold, wet, muddy walk, she comes in the shower with me just to get rinsed off. She then has her robe on and goes to sleep ?

Ella does clean herself but generally only her legs/paws, belly and lady bits. She always gets a loud slurp going when cleaning her lady bits, much to OHs horror!

Molly does minimal self-cleaning. She gives her lady-bits a revoltingly noisy slurp every so often and sometimes licks her paws and rubs her nose, but not much else. I have never bathed her but if she's very smelly (the river mud at low tide can stink) I slosh her down with a bucket of plain water. Her coat dries very quickly - almost instantly.
My springer spaniel was brilliant at cleaning herself. I could bring her in wet and muddy, put her on a towel and she'd work away with her tongue until she was spotless. (Saint Penny!)
