Long-Haired Dog Breeds: An Overview

1.Afghan Hound

The Afghan Hound is one of the most famous long-haired dogs, and perhaps the most fascinating breed ever created. He has a long, silky, flowing coat that comes in black, rust, or cream. Not only does the coat make the breed look great, but it also protects them from freezing temperatures in their homeland, the mountains of Afghanistan.

Grooming Requirements for Afghan Hounds: This breed is considered very maintenance-intensive because the coat must first be sprayed with a spray bottle before daily brushing. Regular baths are also required.

2. Old English Sheepdog (Bobtail)

You probably know this long-haired dog breed from many Disney movies, including The Little Mermaid and, of course, Ulviek Zotti! The bobtail’s lovely, shaggy look is aided by its double coat: it consists of a structured top coat and a soft undercoat that can come in different shades of gray or blue.

Grooming requirements for bobtail cats: As a bobtail cat owner, you will need to brush your dog’s teeth daily and spend a few hours a week caring for him. On top of that, grooming during melting is particularly time-consuming.

3. Bearded Collie

This fluffy, long-haired breed has a magnificent beard (hence the name) and a long, shaggy coat that comes in slate, brown, blue, or fawn.

The Bearded Collie has a double coat with a straight, coarse, shaggy topcoat and a soft, shaggy undercoat.

The natural coat keeps the Bearded Collie reliably warm – for example, when tending sheep and cattle in his Scottish homeland.

Grooming Requirements for the Bearded Collie: The coat needs to be brushed regularly to keep it from matting and knotting.

4. Bergamo

You’d think this Italian breed might look a little neglected because of its shaggy coat, but it is. It protects his Bergamasca Shepherd Dog in different weather conditions: it circulates cold air over the skin when it is hot, and warms the skin when it is cold. It also prevents insect and animal bites! It takes up to five years for the fur to reach the ground.

Bergamasco Grooming Requirements: At about one year of age, the Bergamasco’s coat needs to be broken down into mats – a process that can be time consuming. Once this is done, the breed no longer needs brushing. Therefore, bathing is only recommended a few times a year.

5. Bolognese

Bolognese is like a little cloud with a gorgeous long, cottony bright white coat. This long-haired breed was once popular with Italian royalty for its charming looks and playful nature. Today, she’s a great companion for anyone looking for a fluffy dog with a smaller personality.

Bolognese Grooming Requirements: Surprisingly, Bolognese don’t shed a lot, but they do require daily brushing to avoid matting. The coat can be cut short for grooming.

6. Briard

Of the Briard is adorable with his long fur and strong muscles. Native to France, long-haired dogs are often referred to as “the heart in the fur” because of their adorable personalities. Briards have a double coat with a long, slightly wavy topcoat and a fine undercoat.

Briard’s Grooming Requirements: Dogs need to be brushed at least 3 times a week.

7. Komondor

The Komondor’s “corduroy” coat makes it difficult for many to get used to this dog. Because it not only covers the ears of the Hungarian Shepherd Dog, but also the eyes. It can take up to two years for the fur to form. Until then, it looks pretty fluffy. Once the fur starts to clump, it should be trimmed.

Grooming Requirements for the Komondor: He is never brushed as this prevents cords from forming. These form when shedding hair tangles with existing hair. It is best to get help from a professional dog groomer. This breed also needs regular baths. However, you should make sure to dry your dog well, otherwise, the fur will smell bad.

8. Apso Apso

Lhasa Apso is short in stature and incredibly hairy. Sometimes it is difficult to spot Lhasa Apso under his lustful hair. When allowed to grow, its long fur reaches to the ground, giving the animal a majestic, towering gait.

Grooming Requirements for the Lhasa Apso: This breed requires daily grooming. Some owners choose to cut the coat short because it mattes easily. A professional groomer or breeder can advise you on the best course of action.

9.Pekingese

Long-haired and short in stature, it’s hard to believe that a breed like the Pekingese really exists. Its fur is often referred to as the “lion’s mane,” after a Chinese legend. This means that the Peking Man was created by Buddha to shrink the lion.

The beauty requirements of Beijingers: brush once a day and take a bath once a week. A complete facial by a professional beautician is recommended approximately every eight weeks.

10. Puli

Puli looks a bit like a miniature Komondor. Its unusual coat naturally forms “mop-like” strands that take about four years to develop. They are available in grey, black and white. In Hungary, one of the most common colors is “fako ” – the color of whole wheat bread!

Grooming Puli Requirements: If you want to string your Puli’s coat, you’ll need to help it form from about a year old. You also need to spend time on children’s clothing. It is time consuming to bathe the nomopuli – it can take up to two days just to dry! Non-gloss finishes require regular brushing to soften and prevent matting.

11. Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a small, long-haired dog breed with the heart and appearance of a lion. The breed has a gorgeous, silky coat that comes in black, black and white, off-white, and red-and-white. With their friendly nature and love for people, Shih Tzus make excellent companions.

Shih Tzu Grooming Requirements: Daily brushing and weekly bathing require preventive mats. The fur can be kept short for easier grooming.

12. Skye Terrier

The Skye Terrier is a small dog with amazing hair. Its fur is so long that many owners keep it in place with hair ties or clips to keep the forehead and eyes clear. The erect ears are also striking, thanks to the “flowing” hair , reminiscent of bat wings.

Grooming Requirements for Skye Terriers: This coat needs to be brushed several times a week and bathed every few weeks to keep it in good condition.

Grooming of long-haired dogs

Regular grooming and grooming of long-haired dogs is essential to keep the coat from becoming matted, tangled, or harboring parasites and dirt. For the same reason, you should also bathe your dog once a week. Here you should use a special dog shampoo . Human shampoo, on the other hand, is not suitable because it dries out the dog’s skin. Also not to be overlooked is the right diet for your dog. A poor diet or insufficient supply of nutrients such as minerals or vitamins often results in a greasy or dull coat..
