Hand Stripping

[jcm 2,327]

Can anyone run me thro this please when should a dog be stripped where on the body do you start and do you ever strip a coat out in the middle if winter and how many times a year do you strip out a dog's coat ?

[Hot Meat 3,109]

I always do mine when sheep get sheared, usually just once a year. start anywhere you want, always strip out way hair grows but make sure it's ready to strip, it just hurts dogs if it's not ready to come out. most dogs jackets iv seen start to open up as they need stripping and the hair usually looks shit aswell tbh

Bit new to the game so excuse the inexperienced question but what is the reason behind stripping

So do you strip hair towards the back of the dog or towards the head

I've always stripped 'with' the coat, so usually towards the back but as HM says, best left till its ready...

Strip dogs twice a year mate just before the summer or the hot months get going then again in late autumn before it gets colder so the new coat is ready for winter. You can get stripping combs online or a stripping stone or use fingers and thumb you'll know when the coat needs doing it will go very course and linty should be able to strip out easily if it's ready to be done also if the dog has a dark coat the tips of the hair will turn a little lighter in colour. Or you could go to dog groomers about 15 quid just make sure they strip and not clipper as stripping allows a new and healthier coat to come through hope this helps
