Grooming Tips

  • 1Coat type varies dramatically - fleece coats are low-shedding, hair coats shed more.
  • 2Matting often occurs close to the skin where it is hard to see - brush all the way down.
  • 3Wool coats are most similar to Poodle coats and require similar maintenance.
  • 4Brush at minimum every other day to prevent severe matting.
  • 5If severely matted, a complete shave-down may be the only humane option.
