In fact, running, playing, swimming, and another vigorous activity is needed daily. With this in mind, these dogs can live comfortably in a condo, apartment, urban or rural family home. However, a secure yard will be necessary and should never be left unattended. Care & Grooming Poodles do not shed, while Australian Shepherds do. Hence, their pups are low shedding, and grooming is not too difficult. Coats can vary in color while being curly and soft to the touch. Some are wavier than others. But, either way, a weekly comb-out is necessary. The more you groom your dog, the more he will become accustomed to it, and hopefully enjoy the process. Most owners only bathe when stinky sets in. Finally, nail trimming and ear cleaning are monthly tasks. Also, keep in mind that a well-balanced diet will keep them in top health. Ask your vet or breeder for advice when necessary. Ultimately, they are a very popular dog that has good health.
