I think it's a misconception that longer haired dogs need more grooming time per day. Whether a dog's hair is short or long. he needs daily brushing and combing to ensure that there are no tangles or mats. Long hair is only tedious if the dog has a cotton coat, silky hair coats hardly take a minute to brush and comb. Just because a dog has short hair, don't overlook the daily brushing and combing, because these dogs can develop serious matting problems. Joey never mats, and he rarely has tangles, bushing and combing time is fast. It does take more time to do the topknot of course, and drying time after a bath is longer than with a short coat.
