I can imagine she takes some effort!
One of our two cats (Boyd) absolutely LOVES to be brushed.
If he had opposable thumbs and could open the kitchen Junk Drawer, I guarantee he would bring his brush to ANY nearby human.
Nice thing about Plotts and Walker Dogs - no brushing required, though sometimes you need to pull Porcupine needles out of their faces!
In addition to her daily pond swims, Booger gets a bath at least twice a week during nice weather. Contrary to her innocent appearance, she is a very doggish dog who loves to do doggish dog things. One of her favorites is sneaking out to the barn and rolling in a heap of fresh horse sh*t. Have you ever seen a green dog? I have. lol
She's not crazy about being brushed but she will tolerate it pretty well for me. Mrs. Augie is too rough and makes her yip just about every time.
I do like Howard's short coat when it comes to grooming time, because there is NO grooming time. What few burs stick to him he gets rid of himself. I haven't felt the need to give him a bath since he showed up. He doesn't stink and he lives outdoors, so why bother?
If/when he gets to spend more time indoors I expect that I'll have to rethink the whole no-bathing thing.
