Maintenance


The Mini Australian Shephterrier requires little grooming sessions. He is a seasonal shedder who does not shed their coat throughout the year but once he regains the terrier coat then shedding may become rare. During summer season these breeds shed more, and therefore they need weekly deshedding for removing loose fur. Also, they do not require regular bathing; in fact, few baths all around the year is enough. Excessive bathing can lead to skin problems and often dry skin issues. Cleaning their teeth every week is important for preventing any dental disease. Monitoring and cleaning of ears are necessary for avoiding any kind of infections. Nails must be appropriately trimmed after they grow long.
