chickenman 4 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I used to have a border as a kid, that required stripping aswell. I just used to do it by hand facing the dog away and starting on the scruff just pinching the tips of the hairs and pulling them out. Dog didnt complain much unless you got to bigger tuff, then he would give the evil eye, used to get carrier bag full. They look top dollar when done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Take the brush/comb with you and the dog to the next show near you, there'll be someone there who'll show you how to do it, they're a friendly bunch, Lakey owners, although admittedly some do look a bit gay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timid Toad 18 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 stripping blades are better for terriers coat rather than a brush, or a fine tooth hacksaw blade works if and when you know what your doing my daughter hand strips terriers for quite a lot of the working boys to show in the summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
