Aussies shed quite a lot, so you must give the proper care in those moments. It's recommended you bathe them once a month, but as for brushing, here is what you need to know. Australian Shepards should be brushed at least once a week, but you should brush them two-three times a week. In this way, you are getting rid of the shed fur and allowing new fur to grow, resulting in a sleeker and fresh coat. Please make sure you get their legs as well, as they are prone to matting and dirt.
