His coat is quite wiry so in order to keep it's texture we are hand stripping him.
With anything other than a show or competition dog, it is not necessary to strip the entire dog. I use a combination of undercoat rake, carding, plucking the longest hair, and thinning shears to 'cheat' and get a nice looking terrier style with the coarse coat intact and the dog not having to suffer plucking in sensitive areas.
Happy Tails!
