One note: I do give my dogs a tablespoon of Wesson oil on her food once a week because it seems to help her coat stay shiny. A vet gave me that tip years ago, and it's always seemed to help.
Daily brushing, yes. 1 or 2 baths a year? I bathe my single coated dog once a month! The answer really depends on how much time the dog spends outside, whether or not it is an actual working dog, the climate in which you live and how often the dog is allowed inside - but at least a bath every season = 4 per year.
Yes, daily grooming, because that's the only way to check the mouth and feet before small discrepancies turn into big, expensive things at the vets.
Baths when filthy and smelly.
Yes maybe, but it depends on whether you want to trek up into the hills everyday to find him whilst he's working minding his sheep; and whether you can get someone to mind his flock whilst he comes back for a bath. Doesn't just apply to German shepherds either; it's pretty much ALL shepherds I'd say!
It depend on if the dog is inside or outside. If it is inside, then at least everyother day. Outside, then once every 4 or 5 days. Try giving it a bath every month.
uh dude he needs more baths than that!!
like one on monday,thursady,sunday!
