Great video! A very good boy you worked on here! My cairn is already 9 years old and she didn't tolerate hand stripping with the groomer (I wish I'd started her when she was young) so I'm going to try to do a full job myself. I have a Mars Coat King rake already, but am not sure what kind of stripping knife to get. Mars has several varieties: fine slant tooth, coarse slant tooth, coarse for terriers, medium slant tooth. I'm assuming the coarse for terriers should be the one to get?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

I would think so too, but I prefer working with the stripping stone. Have fun and try some tools!

[@gloworm106]

@@gabbyspetspaw Thanks for the reply! I'll get both a stripping knife and a stone then. Figure I might as well try different things to see what works best with my dog. I'll have to get blending shears as well.

Beautiful dog. Good natured. But, I didn’t understand the purpose of hand stripping. Nor did I understand the equipment you use.

[@2010gtoner]

frigin dog has a bauldy back???

[@gabbyspetspaw]

😂 no, he has plenty of hair and very healthy.

[@michellestuart6602]

Too much scissors on him. The beginning is great.

[@Josef_R]

I can't tell what you are doing, it's too fast. Is he supposed to look like he's got the mange when you're done?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

He is brindle, that’s why he looks like that. And it is fast because the whole video would take like 3 hours.

[@Josef_R]

@@gabbyspetspaw oh, so the light brown patches are still fur? I thought it was his skin. It wouldn't take 3 hours to show 1 minute's worth of it in real time.

[@gabbyspetspaw]

@@Josef_R yes all that color is his fur. I’m sorry you could not see the technique very well on the video. I’ll try to show more of it next time.

[@Josef_R]

@@gabbyspetspaw I've always shaved my previous Cairns 3 times a year because it gets to 100 degrees here, and they still have a beautiful, super soft coat. But I was considering stripping on my new one because his coarse hair is pretty amazing, but I can't find any videos that actually show how. I pull on my boys hair and nothing comes out, so I don't get it.

[@gabbyspetspaw]

@@Josef_R if you have been shaving then for that long is rare to strip them. But on a new coat you can. Have you tried talking to a groomer in your area? Maybe they can teach you. Where are you located?

[@dewanee310306]

Increíble video, me encanta. Gracias por subirlo!!

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Gracias! Me gusta mucho esta técnica, pero es muy agotadora.

[@bettymojica4588]

Hermoso🤗

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Betty Mojica gracias 😊

Nice video. I'm getting a puppy soon. I see her every day, my sister's cairn terrier had pups and my birthday present was one of them. Almost 5 weeks they are now. Totally cute and very exciting. When is the first time they need a trim?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Congratulations and happy birthday!! I would introduce her to grooming right away to get her used to it. I think around 12 weeks, but the vet will tell you for sure when.

[@samanthabatty2425]

Sorry but, If the coat is dirty then the dogs can get a skin condition called Furunculosis. It is strongly advised not to strip a dirty coat ! Wash the coast using strip shampoo and use chalk etc for finger condoms for grip
