Hand-stripping wire hair terrier fur

woodenduck writes in Pets & Animals

I read something the other day about "hand-stripping" wire hair terriers to remove excess fur without damaging the undercoat. Does anyone know of a dog grooming service which offers this type of grooming?

Spain is a very big place so can you be a little more specific as to where you are please

Sorry, I meant to say, within Valencia city would be perfect, but will travel if need be.

We have a Cairn and I have never dared find out more about this stripping grooming style. Sounds painful!

I have taken to clipping him myself (in my own particular style)!

Actually, I starting an attempt at hand-stripping my fox terrier yesterday, according to some instructions in a book I have! He seems to really like it, surprisingly since I was basically pulling hair out. My hand hurt after a while and he got fidgeting, so we will have another go today, maybe I don't need to pay someone to do this after all!

You can buy a special "stripping" comb to make hand stripping easier and more comfortable for you.

Is it the undercoat you are pulling out? I have a Westie and when I give her fur a little tug it seems well attached! Can't imagine being able to pull it out!
