Long-Haired Dogs – Gorgeous Hairy Breeds And How To Care For Them

Long haired dogs are undoubtedly beautiful to behold. But all of that canine handsomeness comes at a price: the time, and possible expense, required to maintain those gorgeous locks and flowing tresses.

With all long-haired breeds, you will be faced with some common grooming issues.

Sitting for lengthy grooming sessions:

• Get your pup used to being handled early, and often
• Grooming will become a terrific bonding experience for both of you

Going too long between grooming sessions:

• This can cause tangling and matting of the hair
• Detangling seriously tangled hair can pull on and damage your dog’s skin
• Moisture can get trapped beneath the hair, allowing infection to set in

Some of the better-known long-haired breeds are:

• Afghan Hound
• Bearded Collie
• Cocker Spaniel
• Komondor
• Yorkshire Terrier
