The answer is (in our case and the cases I know) - almost none.
The less you wash CsW the better. Their coat has a fascinating quality to be... "selfcleaning". During 5 months Łowca has been with us, we washed him only once and that was because he came back home smelling so abominably that it was impossible to endure it. (all the more - he sleeps in our bed with us. ). And I can tell you, he looked a little bit strange after he dried up. Surely the CsW coat doesn't like the shampoo...
As to the combing - yes of course, but no exaggeration is necessary

Really whan I see (for example during shows) what is done with some other breeds I'm happy I have a CsW. (Of course not only becase of that ).
