PWDCA Grooming Guides

There are two varieties of PWD coat that meet the breed standard:

• Curly - compact, cylindrical curls, somewhat lusterless.  The hair on the ears is sometimes wavy.
• Wavy - Falling gently in waves, not curls, and with a slight sheen.

No preference will be given to coat type, either curly or wavy.
