Probably Summer time , if dog has thick coat helps clip them out , same as clipping a Wheaton out or Wheaton lurcher

Know loads of lads strip dogs out for the summer ,when it arrives .will be doing my older bitch when it warms up .

[Daniel cain 50,914]

certain families of hairy patts have extremely thick coats and the poor sods suffer when it's warm,stripping them out helps

I always strip my hairy dog down in the summer! Like ya walking round in a fur coat!

There’s better ways, dogs coats should be hand stripped not clipped there are exceptions like Bedlingtons and Wheatons but most rough coated terriers  should be hand stripped, hand stripped dogs coats grow flat to their backs keeping muck & weather out ideal for an earth dog or one that’s out all day in rain, plus in the summer a stripped coat keeps the dog cool. Clipped coats grow out and not flat to the dogs back which offers less protection against the weather and let’s muck reach the skin, continues clipping also softens the coat the only plus point is it’s easy to do.

Each to there own, it’s his dog mate he can clip or strip , me personal I clip because it’s easer and coat normally back to exactly the same as befor they were clipped ,

used an old hacksaw blade to strip them when I had hairy ones

I’ve heard that before STR but is it true or an old wives tale? I can’t understand how the cutting of the hair could alter how it grows?
