Schnekingese Breed Maintenance
Your Schnekingese hybrid falls into the low to moderate category of maintenance. His coat may or may not be hypoallergenic since only the Miniature Schnauzer contributes this trait to the bio mix and he falls into the low to moderate categories of shedding. Depending on the length and thickness of his coat, either long from the Pekingese parent or short and wiry from the Schnauzer parent, brushing will be required once or twice a week for shorter coats and daily for the longer coat. This will help to remove loose hair, debris, mats and tangles, and distribute the oils through the coat. Bathing should only be done as needed as opposed to "scheduled" as too frequent shampooing can dry out his skin and coat. His ears should be checked weekly, cleaning as needed with a cotton ball and approved canine ear wash solution. While you're checking his ears, this would be a great time to take a look at his toenails, trimming as needed unless his exercise activities are keeping them worn down. Your Schnekingese hybrid, like all canine breeds, is recommended to have his teeth brushed at least two to three times a week, though daily is optimal. Additionally, your Schnekingese hybrid falls into the low drooling and smell categories.
