Basselier Breed Maintenance
The Basselier is not considered a hypoallergenic breed and will shed moderately. The Basselier's coat can vary between short and smooth to a medium-length, wavy, silky coat. If it is smooth, a rubber curry brush to eliminate dead hairs will suffice. If your Basselier has a medium-length coat, it is important to brush with a firm bristle brush and comb to prevent the development of painful mats. Brushing your Basselier daily is highly recommended to help with coat upkeep. Its long ears will require extra attention – be sure to wipe and clean them regularly to prevent infection that may develop due to excessive moisture. It is important to bathe your Basselier every 6 to 8 weeks, as needed and nails should be cut every 2 to 3 weeks. You should brush your Basselier's teeth regularly to prevent tartar buildup.
