Blackdog92 2,047 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Just hand strip it's free if you leave it long enough it will just about come out in fist fulls. I've tried clippers before and mine didn't like it at all they just went mental other dogs will be different that's just how mine went. Quote Link to post

the apprentice 178 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hand strip it's quiet easy once you get the hang of it, just rub the coat up the wrong way and get a hold of the longer hairs between thumb and fore finger and pull back the way the coat lies, don't clip it takes the water proofing out the coat, good luck Quote Link to post
