The same way humans have distinct hair textures, each breed has a unique dog coat type that distinguishes it from other breeds. While colors, patterns, and other coat qualities help us identify our pups, their fur serves a purpose greater than just cuteness. Between body temperature regulation and skin protection from cuts and scratches, there are multiple ways your dog's coat supports their everyday needs.

The great hypoallergenic debate tends to be a hair-versus-fur battle, but on a chemical level, fur and hair are actually the same! The biggest difference between hair and fur is how it grows, the length it grows, and the coat life cycle.

Hair grows in a single layer that goes through a longer growth cycle. While it grows longer than fur, hair falls out less frequently. Fur is still hair, but it commonly grows in a double layer and does not grow as long. It tends to be thicker and falls out more often than hair does. So, if you always find dog hair all over your couch, black pants, or freshly vacuumed carpet, your buddy likely has a beautiful coat of fur!

Understanding coat types and how to groom a dog properly can take some time and experimentation. With a little grooming patience, you and your furry friend will soon find the perfect routine for maintaining their unique and healthy coat!

About the Author Author of five books related to grooming and the business of pet care, Sam Kohl is internationally recognized as a founder of today's grooming industry and one of its leading innovators.

As the former owner and director of the New York School of Dog Grooming for more than thirty five years, he has educated, in the art of professional dog grooming, over 10,000 graduates, and countless others who have read the previous three editions of this book.

Mr. Kohl was the Director of the New York School of Dog Grooming from 1965 to 2000, and has been active in all phases of the pet industry since 1949. He has been a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of the Pet Industry, the American Dog Groomers Guild, Ltd., and the International Dog Education Association in Japan.

Mr. Kohl judged the very first national dog grooming contest in the United States. He represented the grooming industry on the New York City Board of Education Animal Advisory Commission.

In 2011, Mr. Kohl was the first recipient of Barkleigh's Sally Liddick Lifetime Achievement Award for his many years of contribution to the grooming industry.

Working with the students and the grooming equipment available at that time made him acutely aware of the lack of tools that would facilitate peak performance. When he was unable to convince existing grooming tool manufacturers of the need for improvement, he turned to designing himself. He established the Aaronco Pet Products company in 1987, designing and manufacturing innovative tools to improve the labor-intensive grooming process.

Handstripping targets the older hairs that are in the exogen phase of growth. These older dull hairs are easy to pull out and by doing so they leave room for new stronger hairs to grow through. This ensures that the coat will have a fuller, shinier texture and a more vibrant colour

The aim of handstripping is to remove the older dull hairs that are in the exogen phase and are easier to pull out. To do this we use a stripping knife, grooming stone or by hand using a finger condom for grip. When performed by our professional groomers handstripping is completely painless for your dog.

Wiry coat breeds also have different skin to many other breeds, which brings with it a host of separate care considerations, all of which should be taken care of with wiry breed shampoos. There are a range of brands out there, here at The Pet Retreat we use Wildwash Shampoos, all of which are made from natural ingredients.

Dogs with double coats shed a large amount of hair compared to other breeds, which means you will have to attend more regular grooming sessions. Home grooming is just as important as professional sessions, so make sure to read our guide on grooming dogs with double coats.

The grooming of Nina for showing was performed by a groomer more professional and expert than I. That said, I keep my dogs looking smart and enjoy making little changes in their style. There are some parts of the groom that are in the standard, for example, the long beard and clippered throat and rear, however there is room for making the look your own unique interpretation. This guide sets out the basics of a good schnauzer groom.

There are two natural cowlicks where the hair from the coat meets the hair around the anus and under tail (shown by the arrows on the diagram above). Also known as a hygenie or modesty strip, this area is clippered and the edges blended with the scissors.

According to International Designer Canine Registry, the Springerdoodle breed was first developed in the United States in the 1990s. The intention of breeding springerdoodles was to create a hypoallergenic dog with the friendly personality of a springer spaniel and the intelligence of a poodle.

Springerdoodles can vary widely in appearance, as they inherit traits from both of their parent breeds. They will typically have the head and ears of a springer spaniel, with the body type of a poodle.

The dog's coat of springerdoodle puppy can be either curly or wavy, and is usually low-shedding. They have inherited a non-shedding & curly coat from poodles. An English springer spaniel poodle has a double coat, that consists of a soft, downy undercoat and a coarse, waterproof outer coat.

Springerdoodle coat can be either curly or wavy, and is usually low-shedding. This makes them a good choice for people with allergies. Springerdoodles come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, cream, and white.

Springerdoodles are known for their friendly, outgoing personalities. Due to the fact they constitute a hybrid breed, they make great family dogs and love to be around people. They are great human companions, whether you are a first-time dog owner or a seasoned dog parent. They can also be regarded as formidable guard dogs.

A mini springerdoodle is a smaller version of the springerdoodle, bred by crossing a miniature poodle with English springer spaniels. Mini springerdoodles typically weigh between 15 and 30 pounds and stand 13 to 17 inches tall at the shoulder.

A micro springerdoodle is an even smaller version of the springerdoodle, bred by crossing a toy poodle with a springer spaniel. Micro springerdoodles typically weigh between 6 and 15 pounds and stand 11 to 13 inches tall at the shoulder.

A teacup springerdoodle is the smallest version of the springerdoodle, bred by crossing a teacup poodle with a springer spaniel. Teacup springerdoodles typically weigh between 4 and 6 pounds and stand 9 to 11 inches tall at the shoulder.

Hip dysplasia is a disease common in larger dogs that the larger springerdoodles can be prone to. It is caused by a malformation of the hip joint and can lead to pain and lameness. Purebred dogs are also subject to legg calve perthes disease.

The Springerdoodle is an energetic dog breed, that needs a lot of socialization with other dogs, people and pets. Plan regular walks (2-3 times per day) and time for your active dog to socialize with its furry friends in a dog park or other proper and dog-friendly location.
