which breed of dog has a coat which is wool or wool like?

Question

for a project on animal grooming, i need to know which equiptment is needed for grooming this type of dog, as well as a couple of examples of the breeds

Answer 1

I would think that by wooly, you mean thick and curly like a sheep? If so, then the closest thing would be...to name a few,..

Poodles (Standard..largest, Mini and Toy..smallest)
Bichons
Portugese Water Dogs (curly coated variety)
Spanish Water Dogs
ALL of which DO shed! But are minimal shedders. These breeds require regular professional grooming (every 4 weeks) as well as daily combing at home if you keep them in a longer cut. Equiptment needed would be:

Nail Trimmers
Ear Cleaner
Hemostats to pluck the hair out of the ears
Professional clippers
clipper blades..sizes vary depending on the length you want to keep the hair.
Metal comb
Slicker Brush
Scissors
Dematting comb ..if matted
And the obvious..shampoo, dryer.


There are other dogs who will have what is described as a "wooly undercoat"..like Huskys, Pomeranians, Chows etc..basicaly double coated breeds.

Equpt for these breeds would be
Nail Triimers
Ear Cleaner
Metal comb
Grooming rake
Scissors
Clippers and a #10 or #15 blade if you want to clip the sanitary area
Dematting comb..if matted.

Im sure I am missing something, but that's a general idea for you.

Answer 2

Dogs With Wool Coats

Answer 3

Most people would say a poodle as the obvious choice, which is right, but a Hungarian Puli also has a woolly coat. It is best to get it groomed by a professional, as they have their coat weaved into 'dreadlocks'. For a poodle, a wide tooth comb run over the coat every day is good enough, as long as they are also taken to s groomers every 4-6 weeks to have the coat clipped. If you do it yourself, there are some excellent electric clippers on the market that come with an instruction dvd. Hope this helps, good luck on your project x

Answer 4

A poodle. There are new breeds of dogs now which have wool like coats. For example the Labradoodle. Cross between labrador and poodle.

Answer 5

There are a few breeds with this kind of coat.
poodle being the obvious choice. But there is also a labradoodle, which is now a very commomn breed. Another type is a water spaniel. I am sure there are others out there also!

Answer 6

It is a poodle.

There is a standard poodle, and a toy poddle which surprisingly is the larger of the breed.

They do not shed hair either (not having hair in the first place), so are popular amongst people who do not like the mess other dogs make by moulting.

Answer 7

Definitely a poodle--we had one when I was growing up. A teacher at our school would collect the clippings, card the "wool" and knit it into sweaters!

Answer 8

i used to have a samoid beautiful dog she shed her coat twice a year and a friend of my sister used to weave her coat into wool that could be used for knitting

Answer 9

Almost all long haired breed's coats can get "felted". What this refers to is the layer of undercoat getting matted to the point of making a "felt" layer against their skin. Felt is pressed animal hair, this is what happens when the undercoat turns loose, gets damp, and is not brushed out, as the new hair grows underneath the loose hair it "presses" it against the remaining hair, making a "Felted" matt.
