    No it doesn't,  how in Gods name could it ?

    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

    Which is it? You have always shaved every terrier in the garden? Or your latest post you have stripped and clipped dogs for years? Which is it? If clipping is the answer why have you persisted in stripping dogs as we’ll? Your full of shite and I for one wouldn’t believe anything you say on this forum.

    If you have only ever shaved them you will see no improvement the coat will just stay the same as you have found, if you stripped the coat for the first time you would see an improvement, how do I know that ? Because I’ve done it many times to many dogs and not once has someone said to me the coat is just the same as before, rabbit hunter all I can say to you is try it and you will be converted, it takes 2-3 hours to do one dog.

    I’ve had a good look round today for a moisture trap and you can get in line ones but they are only good for 10 psi which is miles away from what I need, the hydraulic shop I’ve been today said they don’t know of any 200 psi in line filters .

    I’d say it’s more of a show thing without a doubt, every time I’ve shaved the dogs the hair has always come back exactly how it was to begin with?

    Well it will do cos you have only ever clipped it!! Stripping is for both working and showing as it’s the best coat for both, what amazes me is the ones who have only ever clipped there dogs know best,I strip my dogs because it’s whats best for them regards protection, I put the same effort into keeping them fit,feeding, housing, obedience and hunting every day it’s all part of looking after your dogs correctly no half measures for me.

    Wouldn’t know where to start stripping a dog, clippers every time this stripping nonsense came in from these showing fools, hand strip a dog incase it rains when it’s posing keeps the rain off? bull shit

    Stripping is for showing and clipping for workers !! You have that the wrong way round, how long have you owned working dogs 18 months.

    Use a blow torch on the nose hairs  dilly ,smarts a bit ,just got to man up lol.

    As for the stripping V  clipping.Anybody can do a half decent job with the clippers in a fraction of the time whereas  hand stripping is time consuming and only a few coat types are any good for it .Poorly stripped coats are an eyesore as is leaving the leg unclippered part way down but that’s just me .Ive never owned the coarse coat  that allows hand stripping but had many that could be clipped .I personally don’t think it matters either way to affect regrowth but hand stripping lasts longer I’m told .As for pulling out dead hair lol can’t get my head round that one .

    Dogs are clipped against the grain ,hand stripped with it .

    Can’t get your head round pulling dead hair out? Dogs moult that’s dead hair , for somebody who’s not hand stripped a dog you know some stuff.

    So it never grows back then ?

    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.

    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 .

    Old wives tales

    No it’s not it’s just called that by folks who don’t or can’t hand strip there dogs, when I do mine I’ll put some before and after pics up, if you don’t fancy hand stripping your dogs rather than clipp buy a mars comb £30 ish it pulls and cuts the coat rather than just clip the coat, it’s not as good as hand stripping but much better than clipping.

    I’ve heard that before STR but is it true or an old wives tale? I can’t understand how the cutting of the hair could alter how it grows?

    It’s because with hand stripping you are pulling the dead hair out which promotes new hair growth which thickens the coat with clipping you are just shortening the hair that’s there.

    Probably Summer time , if dog has thick coat helps clip them out , same as clipping a Wheaton out or Wheaton lurcher 

    There’s better ways, dogs coats should be hand stripped not clipped there are exceptions like Bedlingtons and Wheatons but most rough coated terriers  should be hand stripped, hand stripped dogs coats grow flat to their backs keeping muck & weather out ideal for an earth dog or one that’s out all day in rain, plus in the summer a stripped coat keeps the dog cool. Clipped coats grow out and not flat to the dogs back which offers less protection against the weather and let’s muck reach the skin, continues clipping also softens the coat the only plus point is it’s easy to do.

    STR I can only agree with Jon, there doesn't look to be a moisture trap and sorry to say but I would not use it in my guns as the moisture is going to enter the gun. Try and get your money back is my best advice. The Hills pump that Jon has put up is a better quality unit and if you must go this route, that is a far far better plan. Sorry STR

    Thanks Phil, it’s oil in the pressure gauge what’s that for? Cheers.
