Missymoo

weoccasionall get them in Cairns too, yes dont stress, vets can be a little hard handed in toy and small dogs as well .....Level one is very mild anyway.

Its basically pulling the loose dead coat out with your fingers or a stripping knife. This coat is dead and usually longer and leaves the undercoat for the new coat to grow through.

I cant believe you DONT have mine in the Cairn one!! AIMFOR!!!! Great Job SWAY Also BXACT in Staffys...

Im really just talking about lazy owners who wont even brush the dog GG! Yes it is better for the coat to be stripped, definatly!

I wont do him again I have decided, he is better off Clipped.

Yeah I will put up prices..sigh...I just cant believe they want him stripped but wont even comb him, I wont do him again...

I know I know, Im a light touch, Ive only been charging $70 :rolleyes: next time he emails me in about 6 months...I will suggest he gets the dog clipped... I only do grooming as a hobby for people wanting dogs hand stripped as of course alot of groomers dont do it (dont blame ya! lol) Ive only been doing about 2 -3 dogs a month and that suits me fine :rolleyes: I have a few regular Cairns, an Airedale, Lakeland a couple of Border Terriers and a Westie :rolleyes:

OK so Ive grromed this dog before, they like it stripped even though its a pet (Lakeland Terrier) last time I groomed it it took me a good hour to just comb out dead undercoat and matts...even before I could begin on stripping.. So I asked them when I left to get a plain metel comb and periodically comb the dog and get rid of the undercoat... did they? NOPE He came back for groom and strip today and I have just spent a good 2 hours on him and Im not done yet..coat was even more matted then before..Im a bit annoyed... I think I will suggest they perhaps just get the poor little bugger clipped and not put him through the truama if they are not going to even put in the time to just comb out undercoat..I just cant see the point of paying money to strip his coat when they dont even want to comb him? ok vent over, back to it! lol

Anyone?
