Tips on Grooming Your Brazilian Terrier

    Low Maintenance: Their short coat requires little grooming.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Brazilian Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of standard pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your Brazilian Terrier dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shiny coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lower the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Brazilian Terrier dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Brazilian Terrier

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Brazilian Terrier Information

This terrier stands between 13-16 in (35.5-40.5 cm) at the withers. Its coat is always tri-color (white and tan with black). A docked tail, narrow chest, flat triangular skull and a well balanced body are the most common characteristics. The ears are half-pricked and folded, with the tip falling down.

The temperament of this breed is very similar to a Jack Russell Terrier, very alert, perky and intelligent. Very friendly, loves to play and dig holes. Spirited and obedient but fearless, as watchdogs they will only bark to get your attention and then leave the rest up to you. This breed needs a firm, consistent and confident pack leader, otherwise, they will become willful and determined. Their hunting instinct is the strongest among average terriers and should not be trusted with other small animals.
