Braque d'Auvergne Breed Maintenance
Since the Braque d’Auvergne does not have a thick undercoat they are very low maintenance. Their coat is tight fitting to the body and smooth to the touch. A weekly brushing using a natural bristle brush or a soft slicker brush will keep their coat shiny and any loose or dead hairs are removed. After brushing, their coat should be wiped down with using a soft cloth which gives the coat an extra shine. You will notice you Braque d’Auvergne shedding more in the spring and fall and more frequent brushing is necessary. They do have ears that hang and can become infected if not kept dry or clean. Check their ears each week to ensure they are clean and dry. Wipe the ears out with a cotton ball and hydrogen peroxide. When brushing each week, pick up his feet and check his toenails and pads for any problems that need addressed. Trim their nails when needed to keep them from developing problems with lameness.
