• OMG…what is cuter than a fluffy white puppy that looks like a snowball? Not much, which may be why you could be tempted to have a puppy like that be your new best friend! But there are things to consider before the cuteness factor wins you over. For example, the grooming of your new puppy. Do you have the time, patience and energy that will be needed to brush and maintain all that cute fluff? Can you live with the inevitable fur you’ll find on sofas, floors, counters? If you are shaking your head “No”…then maybe you might want to check out puppies and dogs that require the minimum when it comes to grooming. Check out this list of dog breeds, and see if one of these puppies or dogs might fit into your lifestyle a little better:

• Doberman Pinscher – This dog requires minimal grooming. You can use a sisal brush and a hound glove.
• German Shepherd – You can get away with brushing the German Shepherd about once a week. The exception is during shedding season, when you’ll need to brush this breed every day. Use a curry or slicker brush.
• Labrador Retriever – This low maintenance dog requires minimal grooming. Occasional brushing should be enough upkeep for this breed. Use a bristle brush and a medium-toothed comb.
• French Bulldog – Besides cleaning facial folds, you won’t have much grooming to do with a French bulldog except an occasional brushing. Use a bristle brush, hound glove and fine-toothed comb.
• Whippet – This delicate-looking dog needs very little grooming care. An occasional brushing will suffice. Use a hound glove or grooming glove.
