Energetic, playful very family oriented. Great for first time pet owners! Does great in smaller households.
The German Shepherd was originally bred to herd flocks in harsh climates, and his medium-length double coat fits the job perfectly, protecting the dog from rain and snow, and resistant to picking up burrs and dirt.
The coat types of the German Shepherd are as varied as his color; some German Shepherds are long-haired. However, the ideal German Shepherd has a double coat of medium length. The outer coat is dense with straight hair that lies close to the body, and is sometimes wavy and wiry.
Regular Grooming Frequency:
Weekly brushing and seasonal grooming needed.
Trim nails on a regular basis to prevent painful splintering. If you can hear the nails clicking on the floor, they're too long.
Home Grooming Tools Required:
Metal comb and soft slicker.
The Puggle has a short, smooth, double coat. The undercoat is short and dense, covered by a slightly longer topcoat. Colors include fawn, red, tan, lemon, black, or any of those colors with white (known as particolor). Some Puggles have black masks on the face.
Regular Grooming Frequency:
Brush your Puggle weekly to get rid of excess hair. Also, Bathe as needed.
Trim his nails once or twice a month, as needed. If you can hear the nail clicking on the floor, they're too long.
Home Grooming Tools Required:
Curry Brush.
Puggles are smart, and appreciate the mental stimulation that comes with training, but do require a firm trainer. Positive reinforcement techniques such as food rewards, play, and praise, and keeping training sessions short and sweet is the best way to go!
Puggles are good walking companions. Agility exercise is a good way to direct your fun-loving Puggle's need for speed!
