Sharp Eagle Breed Maintenance
No matter whether your Sharp Eagle inherits the bristly single-layer coat of the Chinese Shar-Pei or the short, soft, double-layer coat of the Beagle, grooming should be a much easier chore when dealing with this hybrid than with other dogs. Neither parent breed requires frequent bathing under regular circumstances, although those that inherit the Beagle’s curiosity may lead them to need washing a little more often due to their fondness for getting into dirt and mud. It is important to note that wrinkled skin should get extra attention after a bath to ensure no dirt, soap, or water are trapped as moisture and debris can lead to the development of mildew, mold, and even infections. While the double coat of the Beagle sheds more abundantly than the single layer coat of the Shar-Pei, weekly brushing with a slicker brush or grooming glove is adequate to keep the shedding under control and the coat shiny and healthy.
