Hi all, my sister has a Border Terrier and was wondering about her coat. Most of the photos she has seen are all smooth with only the occasional longish scruffy one. Zoe is one of the scruffy ones. My sister was wondering are there 2 types of coats? I couldn't seem to find any mention of it but I thought I'd ask here. thanks
Ditto what Helen wrote. I have friends with BTs & when they start to look like they need a hand strip I often start doing it when they sit on or near me ;-) Don't do it to their show ones tho' as it wouldn't be too popular. I'm not quite so good at it as I used to be as my hands don't have enough grip these days
update on Zoe: I gave my sister the info and first she rang around checking on prices (one place quoted $50 an hour and if the dog has never been done, it could take up to 3 hours!!). So her husband got to and put something (probably a rugby game) on the TV and sat there with her and just pulled (?) at her coat. Took a couple of days of several hour sessions but she looks like a new dog. My sister asked me to pass along her thanks. so thanks all for your help for Joan and me
Very pleased to hear it. You can also get a DVD here in the UK which is excellent. You can get it posted over there, it will be a great help. http://www.caninecoatcare.com/titles-format-DVD-breed-29-standard-PAL.html
