✨ Border Terrier Hand Strip Transformation – Teddy ✨
Today’s tidy-up was Teddy, this lovely Border Terrier who came in ready for a proper hand strip.
Border Terrier coats are designed to be stripped rather than clipped, helping maintain that correct harsh texture and natural colour. As you can see from the pile of coat that came out, Teddy had plenty of blown coat ready to be removed!
Hand stripping gently pulls out the dead outer coat, allowing fresh, healthy wire coat to grow through. It might look like a lot of hair, but it’s completely normal and leaves the dog feeling much lighter and more comfortable.
After his strip, Teddy is looking neat, tidy, and still keeping that classic scruffy Border Terrier look we all love 🐾
Hand stripping:
✔ Maintains proper coat texture
✔ Keeps colours rich and natural
✔ Reduces soft, fluffy regrowth
✔ Helps keep the coat weather-resistant
Teddy was such a good boy on the table today and clearly feeling proud of his fresh look! ✂️🐶
