leegreen 2,098 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes SS wait until it gets warm at least. Clippers is best, Wheatens shouldn't molt so stripping is difficult and maybe a bit painful, a bit like your back, sack and crack jobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 He looks a cracker him mate, best of luck with him . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fresh earth 47 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Dont clip him mate you wreck his coat it will come in totaly diff and thick and fluffy , If you let it grow in i personaly wouldnt strip him till he has grown on i dont see the need to strip pups as there coats coming in and will fall out once the puppy fluff comes of . I know alot of lads with beddy's one with a wheaton and borders and they all say they clipped there first and would never clip another as the coat grows in diff and will never be the same again . Fairly coming on as i said from the start he looks bang on for a wheaton ill try and get some piks of the bloke i knows dog he is 4 or so now but he aint a liver of having them photographed for obvious reasons. He is looking well though. Ill be at you just shortly for a bull terrier collar she is only 9 weeks just now mite get one for her at the end of april but she will grow quick so not sure as yet , do you think id be best hanging of till she is on a bit ? kris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the collar, I'd stick to pet shop cheapies until the pup is a bit older, then I can make you one with plenty of growing room and an elastic loop to stop the spare collar flapping everywhere. Of course the fella in the photos has had a few collars already Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still hoping/trying to get down there and see you soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
