Grooming Tips

  • 1The round head shape requires expert scissoring - most owners need professional grooming.
  • 2Brush every other day minimum - the curly coat mats close to the skin quickly.
  • 3Use a slicker brush and comb all the way to the skin to prevent hidden mats.
  • 4Schedule professional grooming every 3-4 weeks to maintain the signature look.
  • 5Whitening products help maintain the bright white coat between grooming sessions.
