However, some breeds within the Working Group share similar grooming needs, with only minor variations. Here are a couple of examples:
1. Bernese Mountain Dog and Newfoundland: Both breeds have a thick double coat that requires regular brushing to prevent matting and shedding. They benefit from occasional baths, but not too frequently as it can strip natural oils from the coat.
2. Great Pyrenees and Saint Bernard: These breeds also have a thick double coat and require similar brushing and occasional bathing.
It's important to note that even within these pairs, there can be differences. For example, the Newfoundland's coat is generally considered denser and more water-repellent than the Bernese Mountain Dog's.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the specific grooming needs of any dog is to consult a veterinarian or professional groomer.
