jultaylor1972 2 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have a Lakeland x Russell and am not really sure what to do with her coat when it grows? I personally think I should just leave it completely but others have said to 'pluck it' or 'strip it'. So much conflicting advice thatIm now not sure at all Any suggestions and reasons would be welcomed. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Some need stripping, others never will, it all depends upon the coat when it grows in. Dont be tempted to shave it though. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david2363 42 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I love the look of that pup - great markings. Does he/she look like a black dog who stuck his/her head in a tin of white paint?

Guest MOLLY Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have one terrier who requires stripping, one which needs to be cut and the other has parts of her coat which require stripping and parts which require cutting. Ive been completely cutting her for 10yrs, because i didnt know any better then, its not uncommon for some dogs to have a mixed coat. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jultaylor1972 2 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for all the advice, Im getting a brush that pulls out the dead hair and it looks like I'll have to cut her fur around her eyes as she cant see because of it. She's casting quite a bit at the minute too, the weather isn't helping mind as its nearly as mild as spring!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
