Most pups would rather skip bath time, but bathing plays an important role in the health of your pup's coat and skin, helping to keep your dog clean and free of dirt and parasites. And of course, there's the added benefit of making your pooch more pleasant to be around. You should wait until they're 11 to 14 weeks old.

Be gentle and in water shallow for them so that they can't drown. Our pups both got baths when they were around 14 weeks. We just made sure we used a very mild and gentle shampoo made specifically for puppies so we wouldn't dry out their skin. And we were sure to not bathe them too often either.

dawn is good for dogs with oily fur such as poodles and Cockers but when washing a puppy i suggest to use a tear-free shampoo and avoid contact with the eyes. a warm wash cloth will probably do the trick.

Another answer:No. Soaps like Dawn are de-greasers, and will irritate your puppy's skin by drying it out excessively. Use a puppy shampoo, baby shampoo or just plain water to bathe a puppy that young.

Yes, but only in small amounts, and avoid their mouth, nose, eyes, anus, and genitals as much as possible. It may even be best to wash them with a wet cloth with a dab of Dawn on one corner instead of submerging them in soapy water, or water that could retain soap.
