Slovensky Kopov

Grooming

Slovensky Kopov dogs have dense undercoats and a medium-coarse outer coat. Weekly brushing will be enough to keep them looking good and to keep their coat clean and healthy. Their main color is black with brown to mahogany-colored tan markings.

You will also have to check their ears regularly for any signs of infections (bad odor, redness, etc.). You can wipe their ears with a cotton ball dipped into an ear cleaner. Slovensky Kopov's teeth should be brushed weekly to remove tartar build-up and to secure fresh breath and healthy gums.

Their nails should be trimmed when you hear their nails clicking on the floor.

Exercise

Slovensky Kopov dogs are highly active, and you must be prepared that you will have to spend a lot of time outside if you want your dog to be happy. These dogs will enjoy various fun activities, including chasing, hide and seek, returning the ball, etc.

If you meet their needs, you can be sure that your dog will be well-behaved in the house, and you don't have to worry that he will develop behavior problems.

Personality

Since this is a hunting dog breed, early socialization is a must. From the moment you bring your Slovensky Kopov home, start the socialization process. That way, you can be sure that your dog will develop into a well-behaved dog with whom you will not have any problems later in life.

The best thing you can do is to expose your dog to many different situations, people, dogs, animals, and sounds so they can learn how to properly react. You can even socialize your dog at home: dress differently, and act differently so that your dog can’t recognize you right away.

Health

Slovensky Kopov breeders

Slovensky Kopov dogs are not so popular around the world, so you must be prepared that you will have to wait for your puppy if you decide that this is the best dog for you. While searching for breeders, always find the good ones, and if you do so, you don’t have to worry that your dog will end up with inherited diseases. While talking to breeders, always ask them to show you the health certificates of their dogs.

Since this is an active dog, you will have to provide them with a lot of activities. If you are not a very active person, we advise you to search for different less active dog breeds. That way, you won’t end up with a dog who will be unhappy because his physical needs are not met.
