Tips on Grooming Your Plummer Terrier

    This breed is easy to groom. Comb and brush regularly with a firm bristle brush, and bathe only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Plummer Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of everyday pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Plummer Terrier dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore decrease the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Plummer Terrier dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Plummer Terrier

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

    Dogs with short coats frequently 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.

    Pet 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.

Plummer Terrier Information

The Plummer Terrier is a very attractive smooth-coated dog with a fiery red and white coat and head, a white collar at the neckline, or a full cape. The ears fold over like most terriers, and the nose and eye are typically black, and the jaw has a good scissors bite.

A generally game working dog, the Plummer Terrier is not a Kennel Club breed, and most Plummer Terrier owners who work their dogs would prefer that this dog was not part of the Kennel Club. The Plummer Terrier appears to be a breed that has caught on in popularity among a segment of the working terrier set, and with increased restrictions on fox hunting in the UK, its popularity as a ratting dog is likely to increase.
