Doberman Collie Breed Maintenance
If your Doberman Collie inherits a longer coat, he will require regular grooming including weekly combing and brushing; extra time will be required during the times when his undercoat is shedding. Bathing should occur only when necessary though his ears and coat should be checked for ticks regularly if he is active out of doors often. This hybrid loves to run and if you take him to locations where there are long grasses, then he may encounter ticks. An apartment is not an ideal living situation for a Doberman Collie, nor should he be chained in a yard for long periods of time. He is a people dog and also a dog who needs a job to do in order to be content.
Doberman Collies often suffer from progressive retinal atrophy, von Willebrand's disease, and other potentially serious health conditions.
