Grooming requirements
    This dog requires a great deal of upkeep. Due to the type of coat and the difficulty of the cut, most owners have this dog professionally groomed every 6-8 weeks. The lamb cut that this dog receives should be a scissored cut. To maintain the coat this dog should be brushed no less than every two weeks or the dog will become matted even on a regular grooming regimen.

    This breed is prone to copper toxicosis, an inherited liver disease, as well as eye problems and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Breed characteristics and personality

Uses
