Ancol Ergo Stripping Comb, blue

Product Information

To groom a wiry haired dog breed we’ll use a method known as handstripping. This is a time intensive grooming technique that requires older hairs to be pulled out of the coat by hand or using a grooming knife. The process can take any time up to two hours depending on the dog breed. You can find the pricing for our handstripping by using our online quote tool. The stages of hair growth in wiry coat breeds Carding is the first stage of hand stripping where we remove excess undercoat using a ‘carding knife’. This encourages the coat to lay flat which allows for easier hand stripping. PROFESSIONAL GRADE, PREMIUM BUILD – Don’t fret yourself with sub-par products. Used by veterinarians and professional groomers, Thunderpaws D-Shedz is built with high quality 4-inch stainless steel comb that is built to last and gentle to the skin of your dog and cat. It also comes with a protective cover to increase the life span of the comb After you have hand stripped your dog, if you want his coat to be on the shorter side, you can scissor or clip the fur down further. However, some grooming experts don’t bother with this step, as it could end up changing the flow and the texture of the animal’s coat, thus making it harder for the coat to be able to do things like repel water and dirt. It’s probably healthiest to let the hair grow in naturally, however, some people are more interested in styling their dog than grooming. In that case, clip away. Just do so with caution. The range offers a selection of bladed knives for each and every dog breed as well as for use on horses, all breeds of cattle as well as cats. The Coat King range is ideal for use as an aid for hand stripping and especially for the removal of dead undercoat prior to clipping.

Long CoatIn general, the Doxiepoo is a well-mannered dog who has no problem being their master’s sole source of affection and attention. However, should your Doxiepoo be introduced to children when their puppies, he will no doubt grow up thinking they are all siblings. They do not easily take to other pets unless they have be socialized at a young age. For this reason, we recommend the Doxiepoo being the only pooch in the house – trust us, they’ll provide enough entertainment for a lifetime of laughs!

Even within traditional dog and cat breeds as with any animal hair texture is often heavily influenced by the sire use. Consequently you may get a “standard texture ” where the progeny animal has a “coarse” or “finer” texture than the normal breed standard. (This may be especially relevant in cross breeds.)
