Miniature Ausseippet Breed Maintenance
Your Miniature Ausseippet hybrid is one which will require very little grooming, the parent breeds having coats which require only weekly brushing to remove loose hair, debris and matting and infrequent bathing to preserve the oils needed for the weather resistance contributed by the Mini Aussie parent. Both breed parents are considered minimal to moderate shedders; neither breed is hypoallergenic. Both parent breeds are considered low in the smell and drooling rating as well. While you're brushing your hybrid family member every week, be sure to check the ears and clean them as needed without insertion of anything into the ear canal. Also, it is a good idea to check the toenails during this weekly grooming session and trim them as needed. While daily teeth brushing is highly recommended for almost all dog breeds and hybrids, this realistically may not be possible in all situations. However, it is important to brush them two or three times weekly as well as keep up with the dental checkups and cleanings with your veterinary professional to avoid periodontal disease development which is accompanied by tooth loss over time.
