This breed's moderate-length coat lies flat and glossy with feathering on the legs, chest, and tail, and it should stay natural rather than clipped. Thinning shears neaten the ears, feet, and stray feathering without altering the flat lie. Seasonal shedding calls for an undercoat rake, and the feathering behind the ears mats if it isn't combed regularly.
