A dog with a double coat needs more TLC than a smooth coat breed. Double-coated pooches may have long or short hair. Some examples of double-coated breeds include the Chow-Chow, Rottweiler, Border Collie, Australian Shepherd and Labradors

This type of coat can easily develop mats and it is best to take him or her to a professional groomer to remove them safely and properly.These breeds must be groomed every three to 5 weeks for bath & full deshedding brush and at least every 6 to 8 weeks for a full spa day and grooming to avoid matting.
