Border Collie - Clip His Fur?

[Mystiqview]

You will also find that if you do allow the hair to grow back it also gets wirery..

It does grow back thicker and quicker. If the dog is clipped twice a year, the people would not know what the coat is doing. It is not given a proper chance to grow back in the first place.

It also takes about three years of NON-CLIIPPING for the coat to get back to any semblance of what it was. Don't forget they have to do those sheds, then grow it back, not all the coat is grown back in one "season" shall we call it.

Clipping is a personal choice I know.

As ML said, young healthy dogs should not have to be clipped. IF you have do a clip do to a tick or something different kettle of fish.

Also Macey, during the shedding time, regular warm baths, no need for soap, also helps blow the coat quicker. For one here who has a really thick coat and I did this with my husky years ago, I bathed weekly. Week one, warm water, week two was soap (flea rinse) to control any fleas that may be here.
