Start with the coat

Curly coats can be shaped into almost anything. Double coats are best de-shed, not shaved. Wiry coats keep their texture with a neat tidy.

Think about upkeep

Longer and fluffier means more brushing. Shorter is easier to keep tidy between visits.

Think about the weather

Lots of owners go a little shorter for summer and let the coat grow for the colder months.

Comfort comes first

A clear face, tidy feet and a clean bottom matter more than any style.
