Australian Shepherds are long-haired and dual-coated, meaning they have an overcoat and an under-coat. Proper grooming and coat maintenance is required for this breed to look its best. Routine grooming is required on a regular basis, especially if you live in an area where your dog comes into contact with bushes, brush, and burrs.
