What do you lads, lasses think? Should you strip a terriers coat out or can you clip them?

Dont clip them! it will ruin the coat.I strip my dog's,take's a bit of time,but worth the effort mate.HTH,Bill

use a stripping knifed then a slicker brush. I have a lakie bitch and her coat is ruined now because the fella that had her clipped her coat and its away all soft when she is wet she looks half dead not hunting up it stops her working the way she should because when she isnt wet she hunts up ditches herself she has found a couple of new burrows for us by hunting up. So in my opinion i wouldnt clip a dog. Plus i put a couple of teaspoons of lincolin cod liver oil in their grub, helps the coat and because it is cod liver oil it has all the added benifits of that aswell.

Nixy or any one were would I get hold of a stripping knife? I always strip my dogs but have been soarly tempted to clip them some times.

Use a blunt hack saw blade mate, just as good.

[Guest grubygrafter]

if the coat is good i would always hand strip but if the coat is poor linty or weak better to clipp them.

Well i've always used a stripping knife/ hacksaw blade and never cut a coat yet, must have just been lucky eh

I use it to Strip the coat properly Vixen, the finer bits i do with finger and thumb. Been doing it like that for years, Anne Roslin-Williams book on Borders describes it all better than i can on this forum.

 

Never clipper a coat though, it will make it linty,long and not very protective in the long run. I know stripping a coat is a ball ache and you never really get to the finish as there is always something that don't look right, if your after perfection but it is well worth doing.

 

Next few weeks, when i strip my Border i will put up pictures. ( if i remember)
