FLATTOP 4,596 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Need to get my border stripped, any recommendations?? I do my patterdale myself finger and thumb and just keep pulling away takes a while but she looks good after, and you only get rid of the dead hair someone told me the other day cover her coat in powdered chalk and it comes out better.

Does anyone know someone who can get her stripped this week before we go on holiday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,221 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Do it yourself, only do it over a few days it doesn't seem that much of a chore then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bill88 6 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Chid i seen the evidence of what you did to that poor terrier last time Poor feckin thing Stripping a terrier is pretty straight forward,just use your first finger and thumb.I believe it helps if you bath or wet the dog first and then towel dry them,word of warning though,do little and often.If the dog doesn't get you the cramp in your fingers will.

farlap 19 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Give this a go....http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/...=Dog%20Grooming no dont wet the dog or wash the dog...all you get is shiny hair you cant grip....i am presuming his coat is ready to come out now?? you should only strip a dead coat on a border....buy a chalk block from your local farm sote and rub into coat before doing it....i would suggest asking a good local breeder with breed experince (not some pet dog breeder but someone who shows their terriers as they will know exactly how to do it )....failing that pop into devon & ill do it for you!

Miss Tarka 3 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Just thought i would add that a dog should only be hand stripped every 6mths if not longer......... These are pretty good.....we use them at work..... http://www.groomerssupplies.com/index.php?...=cat&cid=14 or these....you want the coat master 26 blade......wont take the coat hand stripped short though..... http://www.groomerssupplies.com/index.php?...=cat&cid=15 Atb Miss T x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
