Big ears, loose skin, serious nose-to-ground work, tick checks are their own event
Duke tracks scent with his whole face basically buried in brush half the time, and between the ears and all that loose skin there's a lot of real estate to cover afterward. Learned to do it in a specific order now, ears first while they're still damp from drool, then face folds, then the rest of him. Takes a solid twenty minutes some days but that's just the reality of owning a breed built entirely around his nose.
