Grooming

Tyrolean Hound has a thick double coat with a coarse undercoat. They come in two main colors: red and black and tan.

With these dogs, weekly brushing is enough to keep them looking good. Brushing will remove all dead hair and keep the hair healthy and clean.

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