Hollie 21 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 You should always clip a dirty but knot free coat, if you bath a dog that has knots, the water makes them tighter, comb, clip, bath, clip over again personally i would buy yourself a set of Andis clippers, they are used in many grooming salons and are very hard wearing I got mine on ebay http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trk...-All-Categories Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did this with my linty coaed Beddie X and it grew back in way thicker Edited March 17, 2009 by Meerihunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 IMO beddy X Whippets and borders terriers, are far better hand stripped. Clipping ruins the coat of these breeds.
