It is recommended to brush the dog weekly to preserve the beauty of his coat. During the moult, brushing becomes more frequent to remove dead hair. It does not need to be bathed frequently.
Its hair, ears, eyes and pads should be examined after each outing in the wild to detect and remove any debris or external parasites.
