Do Australian Shepherds smell?

Moderate odor typical of double-coated herding breeds. Active outdoor lifestyle contributes but regular brushing keeps it manageable.

How often should I bathe an Australian Shepherd?

Every 6 weeks, or more frequently for very active dogs. Over-bathing strips the water-resistant outer coat.

A professional deshed and trim every 2 to 3 months is beneficial, especially during shedding seasons.

The undercoat tangles easily without regular brushing. Brush thoroughly every 2 days to prevent mats, which trap moisture and odor.
