u sually do mine at the start of summer u will find what suits u best, its not science. regular bushing trips in brambles etc, usually keeps the coat pretty tidy as well.

If the coat will come out you can strip it now. Doesnt matter when you do it, when it needs doing is best. Use your finger and thumb or a blunt stripping knife.

Does the dog live outside or in , personally id leave it till the weather turns, a strippin knife will do the job, good luck.

what do you mean by How Bad It Is , the dog certanily wont be uncomftable unless its livin in a central heated house, thats why i asked was the dog outside , the coat is doin a job especially if the dog is outside livin,and as you say march/april is ideal as the weather starts warmin up.

agree with time of yr you do your strippin and about kennels and tidyin it up, but you know what your doin the bloke who posted doesnt so my opinion is based on that plus the fact he said a little bit scruffy which i dont read as dreadlocks .

I find it better to strip my bitch on a mooch as she will stand still, at home she will get board quick and it turns into a wrestling match.
