Every breed has distinct coat requirements, shedding patterns, and salon maintenance frequencies.
High Maintenance
Continuous-growing curly or fleece coat prone to high-friction matting. Daily line brushing and frequent professional clipping are required.
High Maintenance
Dense curly hair that does not shed out naturally. Requires professional precision scissor styling, sanitary clearing, and ear hair management.
High Maintenance
Fine, human-like silky hair without undercoat. Needs gentle daily detangling, regular face trims, and ear tipping to avoid eye irritation.
Moderate Maintenance
Water-repellent double coat that sheds year-round. Never shave a healthy double coat; professional high-velocity blowouts and undercoat raking keep skin cool.
Heavy Shedding
Dense insulating undercoat that blows twice annually. Requires deep high-velocity blowout sessions and dematting behind ears and hindquarters.
High Maintenance
Pure white silky single coat prone to tear staining and friction mats behind legs. Regular puppy cuts or teddy bear clips make daily home care manageable.
