How often do you bathe your dog?

[MeriYa]

I'm still on a mission to get myself a small dog that I want to keep inside my house. I think for health reasons and overall cleanliness in the house, the dog needs to be bathed a couple of times a week. Some people say that's way too much. Is bathing a dog once every couple of days realistic? Do you bathe your dog once a week, or twice a month? Less, more?

I have three dogs and can't imagine bathing them that often. It takes over an hour to bathe and blow dry each one. Am I too slow? They get dandruff if I bathe them once a week, so I usually shoot for every other week. I brush their teeth and clean their ears more often though.

I think the bathing frequency depends on the weather and the type of the dog's fur. During the cold season, Woolsy gets a bath once a week, sometimes once in two weeks, and then he gets 2 or 3 baths in a week during summer.
