  • My BT wouldn't stand for this either. My thumbs get very sore, too.  Wish he didn't shed so much.... The allergy thing may be more about the dander. BT's have remarkably clean, odor free coats without much dander, but they do shed. Unlike other dogs I've known, you can pet a BT and your hand don't come away smelling. They do not require frequent bathing. This guy is adorable. More blue than mine. All BT's are adorable.

    Around the ears????? Owee!

  • wow he's putting up with that well , ours tells us when she's had enough !!!!

  • My bt is 7 and 1/2. Ever since we got her i have tried hand stripping her. But she always bites me, even though she is in full blow and the fur is lose and dead, she will always turn round and nip. Never hard, she's the best dog. But she grumbles and mouths you. Is there any way i can stop this behavior? When we sent her to the groomers they got the clippers and shaved her fur. Ik you are not supposed to cut a borders fur so i wont be taking her back there!

  • should you hand-strip the terrier before or after a bath?

    

  • you're dog is very very good and cute how he/she allows everything

  • I have a question:

    How do you know when its time to strip a Border Terrier's coat?

  • @Clayman93 Stripping minimizes it for a bit but not for long when the top coat starts coming back in, you are more than welcome to join "Border Terrier World.co.uk" which is a forum dedicated to the Border Terrier, members with years of experience are always happy to help with any info regarding the Breed.

  • @srborders But only seasonly, right? I just know it's a dog recommended for allergy sufferers.. This has to come from somewhere. You have to pluck the coat so I would think it's not like they drop fur all over the place..

  • @Clayman93 Hi yes i'm afraid that's false info, they do shed.

  • @srborders I've done some reading and people everywhere are recommending the BTs for allergy sufferers, since "they almost don't shed". Is that false then?
