Grooming

Schillerstovare has a harsh coat that lies close to the body. Their color is tan with tell defined black mantle.

Since these dogs have droopy ears you should be very careful and check them regularly. They are prone to developing ear infections, and because of that, weekly check their ears for any signs of infections – bad odor, redness, wax build-up, etc.

With these dogs, the rest is basic care. Trim their nails if the dog doesn’t wear them out naturally, bathe them a few times a year, and brush their teeth so they secure fresh breath and healthy gums.

Exercise

Schillerstovare has a lot of energy and you will have to provide these dogs with a lot of daily activities. They were bred to work all day, so be prepared to spend a lot of your free time outside with your dog. These dogs will enjoy many fun activities, including hiking, obedience, chasing the ball, etc.

If their needs are met you can be sure that you will end up with the best possible dog in the house.

Expose your Schillerstovare to many different dogs, people, sights, and sounds, and that will teach him how to properly react in many different situations.
