Grooming Medium-Coated Dogs

Medium-coated breeds are also relatively easy to groom, as their coats generally don't get extremely dirty or develop mats. A medium coat is generally longer than one inch, but still looks quite short. The following are some common medium-coated breeds:

Akita

Australian Shepherd

Border Collie

Brittany

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

German Shepherd

Golden Retriever

Great Pyrenees

Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Saint Bernard

Siberian Husky

Brushing & Bathing

Generally, a good weekly brushing and a monthly grooming session will suffice. As part of your dog's monthly grooming session, give him a bath, and then, make sure he is completely dry. You can let him air dry, towel dry him, or even use a blow dryer on a low heat.

Trimming

Once he's dry, use a clipper or scissors to neaten the outline of his coat. Never clip for too long without stepping back and taking a look at your work! Medium coats don't require much trimming, so it's easy to over trim.
