Heavy-Coated:

(Examples include Newfoundlands, Chow Chows, Pekingese): The heavy coat has both long, thick, silky coat and limited short, smooth coat. The long coat must be brushed regularly to prevent mats and tangles that could lead to inflamed and/or infected skin due to lack of air circulation. The long coat between the toes and the pads is prone to accumulating dirt and debris. Shedding can be profuse during seasonal changes.
