| Breeds and Grooming When you’ve acquired a dog as your pet, it becomes your lot to tend for, fend and defend, and speaking of tending or caring for your dog, grooming is perhaps among the foremost of your headaches. Different breeds require different ways of grooming. >>German Shepherd : The Short-haired coat of the German Shepherd requires little attention. Special care needs to be exercised only during the period of moulting when a special comb is required to remove loose or dead hair. >>Dalmatian : Although a large dog, it has very small hair. Therefore, brushing onve in a while serves the purpose of its grooming and maintenance. >>Doberman : Here again, grooming poses hardly and problem. A rubber glove may be necessary during moulting to remove shedding hair. However, the dog’s claws must be regularly clipped and the teeth checked for tartar. >>Rotweiler : The need of the Rotweiler are very similar to that of the Doberman. Rubber gloves are again used to remove loose or dead hair during moulting (as it works better than a normal brush). Special lotions can be used to make the coat shine. Keep the claws short and ear passeges clean. |
