neutering, not always though, none of my boys lost their coats, though I suppose you could say that Miss Willow has a typical neutered Springer coat, which I dont clip.

Excuse my ignorance but how is the comb and elastic band used?

I have a comb with an elastic band weaved in and out of the teeth (near the top) and comb Braan with this

It works, altho I should really get a proper comb but forgot which one to get and the person who told me hasn't reminded me (bet she shouts at me when she sees this tho, as i haven't sorted one )

Braan had his top knot stripped a few weeks back and I'm keeping an eye on his coat as he was neutered about a month back now.

Well, Benji has definately got a 'blown' coat (though i'd not heard of that expression 'til now), and he's definately about to get his first clip of the year

He's so good. I use the horse clippers, but he just stands on the table 'til he's done. Only bit he's not keen on is his tummy, so i do the tidy up with scissors
