The appearance of dogs, an important component of which is their fur, often plays a decisive role when choosing a pet.
Today we will introduce you to five breeds that are distinguished by their beautiful and unusual “fur coat”.
Afghan Hound
The Afghan Hound is one of the oldest dog breeds, originally used for hunting in harsh highland conditions. Their long coats allowed them to survive in cold climates, but today these dogs are no longer subjected to such extreme stress.
However, the long coat remains a distinctive feature of Afghans and requires careful grooming. Owners should bathe the dog regularly, blow-dry and brush the coat to avoid tangles.
Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu gets its name from the Chinese word meaning "little lion" or "beautiful dog." The breed's majestic and beautiful appearance confirms the correctness of the name.
Please note that grooming a Shih Tzu coat can be difficult and expensive. Some owners choose to trim their dogs to make grooming easier and save money. However, fans of the breed prefer to keep their pets' coats natural.
Australian Silky Terrier
Australians, unlike Yorkshires, are larger and have long hair with a silver sheen.
It would be unforgivable to cut such amazing beauty, so future owners should be mentally and financially prepared for difficult care.
Collie
Collies, being native to Scotland, are excellent companions and have beautiful long thick coats with white trim on the chest. There are only four colors of collies: tricolor, sable, red and harlequin.
The Collie's coat needs to be groomed especially carefully, otherwise the dog will quickly turn into a big ball of tangled hair.
Scottish Setter
The Setter is a hunting dog breed that has beautiful flowing fur, most often black.
A setter owner must be prepared to brush their pet regularly.
