Hi F

just watched the video of the boys, how do you groom them Flo has the same type of coat ( Charley is curly) and she is a mess

please help

With J, nothing, nada, zilch but he likes the attention and gets combed but nothing comes off him. Once in a while I trim his ears and toes, when he gets girly

Toby is a would be curly, he gets Zoom groomed, the metal comb with the elastic bands through and the stripping knife, the ears and toes the same as Jack. And loads comes of Tobe.

Sam is a whole new ball game, he has long wirey fur and I am at a loss whether to use the stripping knife on him. Mary ??? Any ideas ???

think we need a close up pick of his coat to advise

Its like Bilbo's but straight Don't mean wiry, just corser than his puppy head.

stripping knife is this dangerous in the wrong hands

I would use a coat king and then a stripping stone, I don;t like the stripping knife, I think you get a better finish with the stone, hope this helps

Not used a stone before, I feel a spend coming on Where might one percure one from ?

I didn't get on with the Coat King, infact I think you have it Sue ?

It's dirt cheap, buy it from a saddlery, it's a groomers stone, and cost me £3.95 for a large piece, you just use a hammer and break a bit off

nope its no good, I still have the vision of me rubbing Tobe with a half charlie

Fudds, we all know what the boys are like and we wouldn't want you getting this one wrong, can you imagine the shame???

So I'm sending Marls round, he has that same sort of fur and you can practise on him first, he has no street cred to worry about!!!

what

no I haven't got it someone got there before me I have a defelter thingy from Freya its fine for Charley

the stone is dead easy Fuds, you just use your thumb against it, so hold stone in hand and put dead hair between stone and thumb - and tweak.
Chances are you had a fine coat king whereas Bilbo takes quite a wide one

mmmm who got that then ?? Is it a Mars ?

Half charlie = brick

nope, the one I use for Bilbo is actually a £10 one sold in my local saddlery, exactly the same as coat kings but sold for horses so cheaper for some reason - have a look online and see if you have a Derby House saddlery near you?
