lol sounds like a good idea I have to bath my labs quite frequently they are both pale cream in colour and end up looking like chocolate labs sometimes when we come back from the park , they take every opertunity to run through mud, jump in the filthy water , and roll in fox poo , this being particallary smelly . I do make sure i use baby shampoo and rinse them very thoroughly and i always check to see that its not drying out thier skin , all god so far but a dog wash would be perfect and less messy at home !!!
