Do you need to groom a Belgian Laekenois?

Yes, you need to groom a Belgian Laekenois. Brush them at least once a week (and more often during shedding seasons). The coat also benefits from hand-stripping to remove dead hair. This process involves pulling out dead hairs by hand rather than cutting them, which helps retain the coat’s wiry texture. They don’t need frequent baths, but it’s a good idea to bathe them occasionally, especially if they get particularly dirty. Use a gentle dog shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
