Interesting thing is, I never actually bathed him. He got all muddy outside, I brought him in and locked him in the bathroom for an hour or so. No bathing, no brushing, in fact I didn't touch him at all. JS have a fantastic coat - all the dirt and mud just dries up and falls off. Those last two pics are exactly how he looked when I returned an hour later to collect him. No grooming at all
They are still a relatively rare breed, so litters can be few and far between. Most breeders keep a waiting list and it can take a little while to get your hands on a puppy. I waited seven months for my boy
They don't have any special requirements, their coat is actually very low-maintenence and a good brush several times a week is all that's needed. Being a double-coated Spitz breed, they have no 'doggy odour' but they do shed! I've got Siberians so I'm pretty used to having hair everywhere :lol:
