Maintenance

---

Some Lab'Aires have medium length, wiry coats, and some are smooth. Wiry-haired dogs tend to shed, but their somewhat compact coat is very easy to brush or comb. Be careful in black-coated Lab'Aires, fleas and skin irritations are likely under the dense, dark coat if not taken care of properly, especially along the genitals, base of the tail, and sides of legs. Males and females develop beards that can be long but not thick enough to hold rogue debris. They are also known for long curly eyebrows. Generally easy maintenance but be careful to watch for skin problems.

Ideal Environment

---

These breed is not lazy. They love to play and have a keen prey drive. They don't normally tear up furniture, but do need daily exercise to release pent up energy. They do best in a secured yard as they love to chase prey. If there is a way to get out of the yard, this breed is likely to find it. They do great in the country but are just as comfortable living in the suburbs. Daily leash walks are recommended.
