COAT & GROOM TIPS

Use a natural bristle brush once or twice a month and the need for bathing the dog will be minimal under normal conditions. During the bath the light use of a rubber brush can remove hair shed.

To prevent water from entering ears be sure to place cotton balls in the ears. If the pet has white areas using a whitening shampoo or rinse on those areas.

Once bathed and dried, a light spray of coat conditioner or coat gloss adds a beautiful touch.

An aloe skin cream or similar gentle moisturizer can be used to soften dry or calloused elbows.

Use scissors to clip whiskers per the owner's wishes.

MORE GROOMING TIPS FOR PROFESSIONALS

This breed doesn't need to bathed often, but use a natural bristle brush every 2 weeks with a light amount of coat conditioner to maintain a healthy coat.

These books contain little or no breed specific grooming information. They do provide very good to excellent general breed information. Of course, having pictures of the breed is a great help when grooming the breed compared to having nothing else.
