Grooming:
The Mini Australian Shepherd is easily recognizable by his big, fluffy double coat, which believe it or not does not actually require a lot of grooming. Twice yearly, these dogs will shed their thick undercoats, and during this period, your dog will require brushing daily. Outside of their seasonal shedding, they require very little grooming, perhaps only once a week. You should use a slicker brush or metal comb to remove matts or tangles from your dog’s coat.
