Coat The coat of the Dutch Partridge Dog is medium lenght. He sheds twice a year.This might involve some inconvenience. If the coat is wet and dirty just let it dry and the dirt will fall off. Sometimes brushing will help. Under normal circumstances, washing (bathing) is not necessary. Often a dog will roll in 'filth'. The theoretical explanation tells they do to hide their own scent. For this purpose they carefully select faeces (of other animals) and carrion.
	Care You can brush your dog once a week. When he looses its hair, you can do thismore often. You should start brushing the pup at a young age so when he's older he will be used to it. Check its ears to see if they are clean and have no deposits. The nails have to be clipped regularly. Eventual parasites like fleas, tricks and ear mites have to be exterminated to keep your dog healthy.
