    Care: Show dogs require a great amount of care. Daily brushing keeps the coat long and plentiful. Sprinkle a small amount of baby powder on the coat and spray it a little at a time before brushing. During summer shedding, shampooing is best avoided to keep the coat undamaged. Look after the teeth weekly and the eyes daily.
