Some dogs, like Greta do not shed. Their dead fur must be gently pulled out, in other words, “stripped” from their body. It doesn’t hurt, rather, it feels like a good vigorous brushing to them. Ears need to be stripped to the point where they have just little wisps left and then gently trimmed at the edges. Below you can see the before and after pictures of Greta’s ears.
Next I will be stripping her body to get her winter coat off and give her a cleaner, sleeker look. It’s a fun, learning experience. Once Hubby is up, I’ll get some pictures of how I actually do this.
It looks really nice. I don’t think that I would be able to do it though. It sounds painful, though. Does she sit still for it?
Interesting. I had no idea. Learn something new every day!
She is so cute! Lovely dachshund pictures………
Good morning Maribeth!
Greta’s ears look fabulous. Good for you for teaching yourself such a useful skill – I’m sure she’ll appreciate you’re efforts once her ‘makeover’ is complete.
Hi Mom,
Her ears look very nice. Good job! She really is such a pretty puppy!
Love you! Have a nice day!
