Lowchen Health Information:

The Lowchen is a notably healthy breed. There are minor health concerns which include patellar luxation, knee and heart problems. Occasionally seen are cataracts and PRA.

Lowchen Exercise Information:

There is a paradoxical relationship between the energy level of the Lowchen and his exercise requirements. The Lowchen is a ball of playful energy, but his exercise requirements can easily be met. The Lowchen enjoys a casual evening stroll or morning walk. Two or three kilometres should do the trick, especially when coupled with vigorous yard play during the day. On the whole, the Lowchen has a sensible attitude toward exercise, just the thing for the first time owner.

Lowchen Grooming Needs:

The clipping of the competitive Lowchen may be best reserved for professional groomers. You and your groomer can decide on a cut that is comfortable for your Lowchen and easy for you to maintain. Often the puppy cut is preferred. Between appointments, you should bathe your Lowchen about every week. Be certain to brush your Lowchen prior to shampooing because the water will quickly mat the fur and combing it later will be near impossible.

Rinsing the shampoo thoroughly is paramount because shampoo residue can irritate your Lowchin’s skin. Most groomers agree that a handheld shower device works better than standing water for rinsing away the last bits of doggie shampoo. Also, the Lowchen can use a touch of conditioner to ease the combing.
