i buy stripping knives cheap from www.groomers.com if they charge you tremendous shipping i can probably mail them to you for less. right now they are on sale for $5 US but they are not professional quality. if you arent worried about a show dog it wont matter. i also use the pumice stone to keep the coat in shape between stripping.

the mrs use her fingers to do it. she does a great job, people even pay her to do theres.

Blunt knife as good as anything. I do mine whenever it starts to get too long. Don't bother in winter, nowt to do with weather just seems to lose hair when the dog is working underground pushing through tubes. A tight stony earth saves me stripping him.

Twice a year encourages a good undercoat and usually makes the coat stronger
