Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Stripped with clippers??? You clip them with clippers mate, and strip them with stripping combs. Clipping the dog can wreck the coat so I've been told, makes it soft. Quote Link to post

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Sorry pal, as far as I know clipping them with hair clippers makes the coat soft, which isn't as good as a dense thick wiry coat for working dog. Quote Link to post
stephen80 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 using clippers in my mind is the lazy way stripping them strengthens the coat & you and your tyke bond better plus it looks smarter just my view Quote Link to post
