If all goes well with checking our references, this sweet boy will be coming to live with us soon! We are experienced dog owners so we're set on all things except neither of us have had a dog with a coat like this. How do we care for it? It's quite long! The rescue didn't have much of an idea.
Things we'd like to know:
- Can/should we trim his hair?
- How often does he need baths (more or less often than a typical dog)?
- What kind of brush is best? Wire brush, soft brush, comb?
- How often should we brush him? Typical amount? Several times a week?
We want this pupper feeling his best. In an ideal situation, we'd bring him to a groomer for their expert opinion, but we're trying to avoid unnecessary trips right now. Any other thoughts or info you have would be stellar. Thanks so much!
