Dandies' crisp topcoats grow up to 2 inches, two-thirds of which are hard and the remaining one-third soft. Under the topcoat is a downy, soft, and water-proof coat, and a soft, silky topknot completes the look. Dandies' color may be pepper— ranging from silvery gray to bluish black— or mustard— ranging from pale fawn to reddish brown (with the topknot being cream-colored). Surprisingly, their "natural" look takes moderate to high maintenance. Brushing 2-3 times each week is necessary even though they have minimal shedding.
Do hair plucking 1-2 times annually— even more often for show dogs— to promote the growth of new hairs. You may opt to have professional groomers do it— cutting gives softer, lighter hairs than stripping.
Last but not least, don't forget to trim the hairs above your Dinmont's muzzle, so they can see easier. In addition, pluck the hairs in their ears regularly. You may also use scissors to trim the hairs on their legs, heads, underbodies, and between their paw pads.
Excessive hair loss or other skin and hair coat issues should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Marietta, GA.
