We have one at work that comes in to be groomed. I've groomed a couple of others but she's the only one that comes in on a semi-regular basis (usually about every 2-4 months I think). We all LOVE this dog, she's so sweet and incredibly smart. She comes in and jumps right on the table like, "Ok I'm here, lets get started!" The grooming is hard to keep up on though, she gets really matted very easily. Usually we shave her about 1/4-1/2 inch then the next few times she comes in for just a bath and brush until she grows out more, then she gets matted so she needs a shave again. If you intended to keep one in a full coat they would need to be brushed every day, or at least a few times a week.
