Grooming guide: Belgian Sheepdog
Long black coat needs thorough brushing 2-3 times weekly.
What the Belgian Sheepdog pricing tells you
At 45-75 lb, the Belgian Sheepdog sits in the large bracket, and every grooming line above is sized to that frame.
Groomers also price the long coat on this breed, weekly appointments stack into a larger annual budget than the per-visit quote suggests.
Temperament (Bright, watchful, serious-minded) and lifespan (12-14 years) shape the real lifetime bill, a cooperative dog finishes faster; a nervous one may need more hands or a longer slot.
