Do Smooth Fox Terriers shed?

Yes, Smooth Fox Terriers shed, but their shedding is relatively light. They have a short, dense coat that lies flat against their body, which feels sleek and smooth. This coat type is low-maintenance but still requires some care to keep it in top condition and manage shedding. 

Brushing once a week with a soft-bristled brush or grooming mitt is usually enough to remove loose hairs and maintain a clean look. They don’t need frequent baths; about every six to eight weeks is typically sufficient unless they get particularly dirty. Additionally, routine care includes regular nail trimming and occasional ear cleaning to ensure overall health and comfort.
