Barely a grooming case: the coat is extremely short, fine, and tight, and the breed cleans itself fastidiously like a cat, with almost no doggy odor. Shedding is minimal and matting does not happen. A hound glove and the occasional bath are plenty, so put the time into nail trims and a quick ear check instead.
