Would this type of dog need hand stripping? Dog Breed Discussions
This is a dog that I love at a local humane society, I brush her when I go because she gets tiny mats and her hair is super wiry feeling. She looooooves it! I was wondering if she would be a candidate for hand stripping. She seems to be a terrier mix and border terriers, airedale terriers, and wire haired fox terriers look best when they are hand stripped, but don't they get soft when their hair gets long? Her fur is not soft. What would help her look her best?http://www.petharbor.com/detail.asp?ID=A012741&LOCATION=VENT&searchtype=ADOPT&start=4&friends=1&samaritans=1&nosuccess=0&rows=10&imght=250&imgres=thumb&view=sysadm.v_vent&bgcolor=f5f5dc&text=000000&link=e69900&alink=dadade&vlink=e69900&fontface=arial&fontsize=10&col_hdr_bg=009735&col_hdr_fg=e69900&col_bg=FFE66C&col_bg2=e69900&col_fg=000000&zip=15233&miles=10&shelterlist='VENT'&atype=&where=type_DOGI know it says maltese/poodle mix, but I'm sure if you met this sweetheart in person you would agree she is a large part terrier with her face shape and coat type.
