How often are we supposed to wash a puppy and how often do we wash a dog? I have a long coat german shepherd puppy who is 8 weeks old at the moment.

No more frequently than every 6-8 weeks. You can use pet wipes (or unscented, sensitive skin baby wipes) to spot clean as needed. If you need to bathe your pup now, use warm water and dry thoroughly to prevent chill.
