dillydog 8,463 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Think about it logically, what do you think happens to the hair, does the panic set in at the follicle or mid hair just after it's been cut ? Does the hairs molecular structure change because it's been cut absolutely no where near the follicle ? It doesn't make sense because it's bollox 1 Quote Link to post

And why would clipping a dog change the direction of the hair growth or type of hair when all you are doing is cutting the hair ? The hair grows from the follicle in the dermis, how do you imagine that cutting what's above the skin would change the genetics or process of growth under the skin ? Surely it's more detrimental to yank out hair while hand stripping, each to their own. I've clipped every terrier I own since jesus was a kid, not a bad coat on the yard. Shaving dogs however doesn't keep them cool, it has the opposite affect. Expand I didn’t say the coat wouldn’t grow back.the reason why the dogs coat changes direction is because clipping damages the outer guard hairs but the under coat is not damaged so grows as normal ,with the guard hairs damaged and the under coat growing as normal the coat grows out .when stripping the dogs coat your pulling dead coat out so there’s no damage to the follicle.you may have always clipped your dogs and that’s upto you but there is a better way . 1 Quote Link to post

I always shave every terrier in the garden if they have a coat that needs it, NEVER ONCE has it made a coat soft.........it's a myth made up by show shit idiots Expand Get a border, shave one side and strip the other and then in a few months tell me it doesn't change the coat. 2 1 Quote Link to post

Them furminators are good for raking out thick dead undercoat too for anyone with thick coated dogs that suffer in the heat. Expand Don’t know anything about this changing coat malarkey but I do like the furminators, always brush and hand strip purely because I prefer the look of a hand striped coat. 1 Quote Link to post
