The short, dense, hard coat is the easy part, sheds moderately, wipes down, and needs only bathing and a deshed. The real grooming is elsewhere: the long, heavy ears trap moisture and are prone to infection, and the facial folds and loose lips hold drool and need regular cleaning. Keep the ears, folds, and nails on a steady schedule.
