Typically, curly-coated dogs, such as the POODLE, the IRISH WATER
SPANIEL and the PORTUGUESE WATER DOG, were originally bred to
live and work around water.These thick, tight, curly coats trap air,
insulating the dog from water and cold air. Regular grooming that
includes clipping by the pet owner or a professional is
essential to keeping a curly coat looking its best. Daily at-home
grooming with a steel brush, followed by a wire slicker, will
remove dead hair and control tangles. |
