swag 54 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 i pull what i can by hand then finish with a comb, well an old hacksaw blade turned in a u and tied off. try putting a little talc powder on the coat first makes it easier to grab!! Quote Link to post

If youve not done it before get a hand stripping dvd or get an experienced person to show you.... not someone who uses a blade!! Quote Link to post
Bootsha 1,306 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 You can get similar to an hacksaw blade from the pet shop, works a treat, but most have or do use hacksaw blades. WAB Quote Link to post

earthpig 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 They dont look like they need doing ,when you strip it should come out easy as its dead hair that yr only helping out sooner they look tidy to me you will see when yr dog needs striping the hair is very dull and looks out of place i would try just a small area and if come out easy do it if not its going to be painful as its like plucking a live chicken so to speak ,realy your dog looks ok hes only just getting his first coat this year Quote Link to post

OldNog 432 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I would leave it alone at that age mate, plus the summer is as good as over now...if it even started at all. Quote Link to post
