HAND STRIPPING a pet CAIRN TERRIER in the grooming salon. 

Glad it was helpful!

The color is because the previous groomer was cheating. Because of that and the neutering, the coat is not as good as it should be.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you. Unfortunately, I can’t bring myself to ever subject myself to the behind the scenes harassment that I received from the livestreams again.

@@grandestyledoggrooming It's a real shame that you were harassed. You had such a nice channel. Enjoyed your videos.

Thank you for your continued support 🙂

I so so sorry you were harassed Suzanne 😢 Chewy and I still support you ❤. Do you remember saying hi to my shitzu puppy Chewy? He just turned 1 on 11/08 🎉

It’s a very different dog compared to a Yorkie. They are actually quite easy to care for.

They are. Check horse feed stores or Amazon.

Don't forget calcium supplements. Check out Judy Morgans pet food webinars for insight. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-elQAwThJyqs.html

@@grandestyledoggrooming Thamks, this is the info I need

Actually, the work they did facilitated the removal of the coat. Professional Grooming has been done for hundreds of years, and hand stripping is no different than removing a winter coat from a horse, old time working dogs were still in need of proper coat care.

No. The techniques for the German Wirehairs is quite different. I groomed several Champion GWP. 2 were multiple group winners. Once the coat was pulled all the way down to the undercoat with those, the coat was worked over weekly pulling it into perfection, all in the ribbons at the AKC National, Westminster, and the GWP Nationals. I was very proud of that work. Each dog took 8-12 weeks to complete the fully groomed look.

It would take a bit of time to turn the coat around, but a spayed coat is never as harsh or easy to work as a coat on a whole dog.

I prefer to not wash a hand strip client at all, unless it’s just the legs and jacket. If they need a bath it’s best before the groom.

Thank you 😊

Thank you, too.

It alters the balance of undercoat and guard hair.

This method has been around since long before clippers. Wiry haired dog breeds were initially used for hunting small animals, with their rough and ready coats protecting them from sharp plants in the underground as well as from the vermin itself. The practice is actually healthier for the dog. Because the coat is dead, it needs to be removed and it doesn’t hurt.

@@grandestyledoggrooming Isn't all hair and fur dead? It's the follicle that is live. You don't pluck ears, why is the coat different. I understand that history plays a part in what we do, but docked tails and ears were the fashion once too. You are a fantastic groomer and you love and produce beautiful dogs! I'm just curious why this still is the fashion. Even ratting, you'd think more coat would be better at protecting the skin. But, like I said, my thoughts are irrelevant. I watch to learn and share in all the kisses and love between you and the pups!

If the coat is ignored, it becomes soft, therefore not protectant. I guess dead was the wrong term. The hairs pulled are in the telogen phase and detached from the papilla. ABOUT WIRY COAT HAIR GROWTH There are 4 stages to wire hair growth, Anagen Phase: This is when hair follicles move into the GROWTH PHASE. Catagen Phase: This is the TRANSITION PHASE when hair stops growing and the outer root sheath attaches to the hair. Telogen Phase: The RESTING PHASE when the hair is at a standstill and does not grow or shed. Exogen Phase: The FALLOUT PHASE where the hair falls out and a new hair grows Once the hair is in the Telogen Phase then the dog is ready to be hand stripped, this is as the root follicle detaches from the dermal papilla allowing the hair to be pulled without causing harm or distress to the dog. Copied from thepetretreat.co.uk/introduction-hand-stripping/

As for the ear plucking, the breeds who usually have hair in the ear canal have hair and not fur. I would never hand strip a dog with hair, just as I will not pluck the “ hair “ in the ears. It’s comparing Apples to oranges.

@@grandestyledoggrooming How do you know when the Telogen phase is reached? My Scotties didn't shed. I groomed just to give them the cute Scottie look. Please don't take offense, I love all you do, I'm just curious.
