What is hand stripping?
Some dogs have a coat that requires a specific grooming method called hand stripping instead of the regular clipping and brushing.
Hand-stripping is a type of grooming method is used to remove excess hair from wire-haired dog’s. The problem with clipping a coat that requires hand-stripping is that you are just taking off the top layer of dead fur rather than removing it from the roots. The process of hand-stripping involves removing the dead hairs from the coat which improves the quality of the new tidy coat.

What breeds require hand stripping?
It is slightly more complicated to figure out, it is more about the type of coat than the breed of dog .The type of coat that requires hand stripping is comprised of two types of hair – the undercoat is soft and dense while the top coat is longer and wiry in texture.
Dogs with wiry coats go through a different growing cycle to the rest in which the hair becomes thicker and darker as it grows – if you do not remove the dead hair from the top coat it will end up dull and coarse.
Wirehaired Terriers, Schnauzers, Boarder Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Scottish Terriers, Affenpinschers and some gun dogs are the type of breads which need this special treatment.
