  • Would it not be easier to clip rather than hand strip? I have a Daschund x either dandy dinmont/ petit griffon vendeen, she has a double layer coat, I try to hand strip most of her but I'm now finding it harder to do, had thought of getting her clipped due to it being easier.

  • @xpixilovesmakeupx you can't clip a border terrier - has to be hand stripped, otherwise the outer coat doesn't grow properly.

  • It would be helpful if the critics posted a video (or link to a video) in response. This is meant to be an informative/educational video. Help us all to learn please.

  • Damn.... you feed him 20oz steaks

  • I admire anyone who does this themselves. A lot of work and patience especially for the dog. I've bad thumbs so I can't do it. Thank goodness for my dog groomer.

  • good grief, its like plucking a chicken! great end results though

  • Wow, wish my BT would sit like that. Thank your lucky stars :) She skwirms, shuffles, moves all over. I could finish in an hour, but because of her antics, takes like three days :)

  • @adkigriffons well tell him then ! he put in the uploader comments that this is to help everyone to learn instead of telling him he doesnt know how to do it help him out

  • @sherbert64 I agree. You should hold the skin taut and pull in the direction of the hair growth and only a few hairs at a time. I have the same process as yours - in front of the TV over a period of evenings!! LOL

  • That is a tolerant little BT, but I have to agree with others here that it is much much easier on the dog if you pull in the direction the hair grows and not so much all at once. I strip mine 3 x a year, each time over the course of several nights. I watch TV with her in my lap until she falls asleep, then I can strip her for an hour or so each night and she doesn' t even know I'm doing it this way, sleeps through each session.
