I'm curious as to the coat care CsVs take. I know they have a double coat, with the summer coat being drastically different in terms of undercoat from the winter one. I'm wondering, how often should a CsV owner brush/comb their dogs, and how often do you bathe them? How is the condition of the coat approached in the show ring?
I have a Siberian Husky that we rescued, and I bathe him about every 5 weeks. I know this isn't really in keeping in tune with the breed standard, as the dogs are supposed to have a more natural coat, but I find it's easier for me to keep up on his shedding this way. He also doesn't have the coat he's supposed to, it's much too soft, but this isn't from the bathing, it's just the way his coat is. I know CsVs have a much more resilient, weatherproof coat. I'm just wondering how much effort on the owner's part there is in maintaining it.
