Care
Most of the time, weekly brushing is enough to keep the Alpine Dachsbracke’s coat free of loose hair and dirt. However, these dogs do blow their coats a couple of times a year. You’ll likely need to brush more frequently during these seasonal shedding periods to keep the hair from overtaking your home.
Be sure to round out your pup’s routine care with nail trims, ear cleanings, and a dental hygiene program that includes at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
