raz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Far out you have done some work, GM. personally I'd take more off, especially on Spud's neck and tail, but he's looking brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawnydal Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thanks raz I was just about to PM you! Too see if you could take a look! You bet me too it! ;) I thought that I need to take some more off his neck and then I thought maybe Id gone too far all over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabrador Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 OH WOW what a huge change!!! He looked cute before.... but now he looks excellent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 No you havent gone too far, GM, and that's the hard part when first starting out. Knowing when to stop. It's like pruning a rose bush. I get snap happy and all of a sudden there's only one twig left ;) With the feet - just neaten them up so they look small and catlike. Doesnt stripping bring up richness in the tan? I do think he was rather cute unstripped though. The Little Spud-Meister! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Oh Man - reminds me of what Mac looked like when I first got him, stripped and neat. He now looks a mess - might get my lovely friendly groomer to have a go at him so I can remember just how cute he looked stripped - he is still cute now though.

Tawnydal Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Yes was rather suprise how much diffent he looks now hes stripped! He has been such a good boy while it was getting done! He came to stay yesterday so most of it was done then with the help of the dallys ;) Dad was really glad when his head was done it made him look like a JRT not a malt X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trisven13 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 WE always reckoned that Mac looked like a miniature tan & white wolfhound ;) particularly side on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawnydal Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 So raz now hes stripped do you just go over them with a pumice stone? Or do you keep doing little bits and peices? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I dont use a pumice stone, GM. I think it breaks the coat although I will give a go at using it on ears when I get around to buying one. I like crisp, neat ears. For the rest of the bod I use rubber thimbles. Stripping knife on the legs for nice neat lines and under the jaw. I never use a knife on the head and face because it can take out a chunk. Knife for ontop of tail, and scissors for underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greentea Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 2c worth from the worlds worst coat stripper- FOLLOW RAZ'S ADVICE -DON'T USE THE STONE!! I found out recently that the reason my boy's coat hasn't been responding well to stripping was my use of the stone. With some coats it works fine, but not Henry's and it was the reason his colour looked dull and broken. All sorted now. I have thrown out the stone!

Meriment Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi GM!! Got your PM :cool: He's looking great, you'd done a really fantastic job, that was one hairy boy and he's looking immensly better!! I agree with Raz - keep going just a liiiiiittle bit more. A bit more can come off the top of his head, and his ears... his tail (mainly underneath where all the whispy bits are), and his legs (his front knees look a bit hairy still), and neaten up around his feet.

Trisven13 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Please Raz can you tell me how to do this - I want to give my JRT a go today but am not sure what to do. If anyone else can tell me anything that would be appreciated - do I just "pull" his hair out or do I need to go buy some tools? Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
