Not as much as you may think. The Bosnian Coarse-Haired Hound Barak may have rough hair but with regular brushing, it’s just as easy to maintain as other breeds. Neglecting to brush most any dog runs the risk of dirt, leaves, or twigs settling into the hair unknowingly. Active breeds like this need a weekly going-over to keep them looking good.

Despite their legacy as a working breed, the Bosnian Coarse-Haired Hound Barak is a very good-natured dog and can fit firmly into the family unit. The breed has a generally upbeat disposition, a plus when it comes to being in a group. They may need a good introduction to smaller furry friends on the homefront though, but doing so will ensure a winning relationship in the end.
