Scottish Sheepdog (Detailed Introduction)

The Scottish Sheepdog is a friendly, lively, and loyal breed. Compared to some other dogs, they are relatively easy to raise. They enjoy exercise and need space to run. Long-term running inevitably causes sweating, and most sweat is absorbed by their coat, so over time, the dog often develops some odor. Therefore, the care of the Scottish Sheepdog is also a relatively key issue.

Although the Scottish Sheepdog has a relatively long coat, it will not easily become matted as long as regular brushing is maintained. The key issue in the care of the Scottish Sheepdog is undoubtedly bathing. For long-haired dogs, the frequency of bathing is not recommended to be too high. Overly frequent bathing not only reduces the protective effect of the coat but also greatly lowers the skin's resistance. Many skin diseases are caused by too frequent bathing. Generally, bathing once a week can solve the cleaning problem and has little impact on the body.

Of course, nails, foot hair, and ear hair also need to be cleaned in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by neglect. Although they are relatively easy to raise as a breed, the care of the Scottish Sheepdog still requires constant attention.
