How do I say...
I have an oral exam soon and we have to use certain grammar points we've learnt in during the semester.
I want to say 'Regardless of how dirty the dog is, I will clean it.'

All I have so far is.. '犬は泥んかに関わらず。。。` but I'm not sure if that's right..
関わらず is the grammar point we have to use.

Thank you for your help :)

Answer

If I translate it directly, I say "その犬がどれくらい汚れているかに関わらず、私はその犬をきれいにするでしょう。" . You can also say, "その犬がどんなに(どれだけ)汚れていても、" or "その犬がどれだけ泥んこであっても" and so on. "regardless of 〜" means "〜にも関わらず" and "how dirty the dog is" means "その犬がどんなに汚れていても". I think this grammar is not difficult, all you have to do is to connect these two phrases.
