Pulling top coat. Raking and carding removes undercoat.

Great question...I would like to know that too.

Hi BrittleRose, I have a Standard Schnauzer I'm picking up next week, excited, but nervous learning all this, lol. At what age did you start? Any tips? What knife are you using, fine, medium, coarse? Thanks in advance!!

@@rustywolf6813 I've got my standard pupper now, keep in mind I don't show her, the age I started stripping her was actually around 9 weeks, just getting her used to it, only pull dead hair that'll come out without any force needed or in this case puppy fluff. Always pull with the grain of the coat and keep your wrists straight.. As for combs, I do just use one as I'm not a professional, I use a Mars 326 fine stripping knife. Hope that is of help.

@@BrittleScarMusic That does help, thanks!!

At 5 months old, his coat should recover from one clipping because his adult coat hasn't come thru yet. Leave it to grow for a few months, and in the meantime start plucking out the soft fuzz as you are able to. Usually fingers work for this.

The cheeks on all sizes of schnauzers are usually clipped, as are the ears many times. however, if you have a salt and pepper, you will see a difference in color.

they was a very prompt response for a 2 year old Video. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the vid! I actually have a standard schnauzer on the way as well and I would like to hand strip him. He'll be 8 weeks on arrival. How/when do you recommend starting a puppy to get this rolled coat year round?

As soon as you can start picking the puppy fuzz off. Usually in the 8-10 week range is time to start picking at them, getting the used to the table etc.

I know this is 11 months ago and I have just discovered this video I guess now his furnishings are thicker and yes you should strip out the end so new hair can be made and can grow. Instead of having a very long and thick furnishing you will create a shorter and thicker furnishing it will take awhile don’t don’t take too much called out at once but Quickly pull some out

Graco2200 this is very true. My standard Schnauzer was clipped for 5 years and then decided not to do it anymore. He now has a nice show jacket.

Can you show me a picture comparison of a dog that can still be stripped after being clipped and one that can not

And what do you do about the legs

Typically yes, you can.

You start plucking the puppy fuzz as soon as it will come out. Yes, legs get plucked also. I spend 4-6 hours a week, every week, rolling a show coat.

+Graco2200 thank you. :) I'd their different stripping knifes for the different lengths? like the closeness on the neck and ears??

Courtney Gray there are different knives that pull more or less hair. You don't cut the hair, so a knife doesn't change the length. The shorter, newer growth underneath is how you get areas short. Its all timing those hairs underneath. Then you pull off the longest layer.

Asap. Start picking out the puppy fluff as soon as it will come out. Get them used to it all over the body. 12 weeks or so generally.

@@Graco2200 thank you!!!

No. Bald is to the skin. No hair or undercoat left.

That's what she said, but I don't understand. Can't you let the hair grow back out to two inches or so and pull the wiry hairs? (Start over?) I can see it taking a long time to get back into show condition.

The coat does not grow back the same and it's not possible to strip.

Grooming Airedales

Its a free video, with info that many people pay to learn. It was a quick free video. If you want a professional video, get your wallet out. 🤷

@@Graco2200 I'm sorry if I came across anything other than polite. The music comment was purely off the cuff. I'm told I'm too honest and outspoken. I wanted to hear what you had to say. I've had Airedales for over four decades. My previous guy, born just after Katrina, passed early last year while I was dealing w/catastrophe health issues. He passed his 15th birthday, and the decline was inevitable. He always cared for me when I wasn't well and I felt I wasn't able to care for. him when he needed me. I had my nurses care for him before me. Now we have this new pup because while I knew my husband's mother was dying, she and I knew he was in total denial. So for her I got a puppy for him. He's reached that stage, I remember when my daughters hit this age, they go to bed loving wake up and its war, and this pup now thinks he must test every step. I watched many videos. Didn't learn anything I didn't know about airedales. Learned a great deal about how other humans deal w/this most arrogant, bratty, loving, giving, INTELLIGENT, BREED. I was paying careful attention to the owners' tones, their expressions, their non-verbal language, looking for reassurance that this pup, not a patch on my ole man's tail, would like all Airedales find his way into my heart. So, please forgive me if I relayed anything but total interest in what you were saying, why you were saying it and how you intended it. Please forgive me, and thank you. Donna

@@forsmyths no worries. I am sorry for your loss. They are the best breed out there, despite their brattiness. It's who they are. ♥️

Erika First because it is a very specialized grooming technique, that most pet owners do not want or ask for. Mostly show dogs. So much pet grooming has to be crammed into grooming schools, there is no time or dogs to teach this technique. Takes years to master. There are plentiful seminars and hands on seminars to learn handstripping. I offer them often.

Erika First my school does. They say is very complicated and people really don’t ask for it, but is a good thing to learn. I can’t wait to do it lol

Oh please. Don't comment on something you know nothing about.

the links lizard a lot of dogs dislike being handled and groomed, it doesn't mean they are in pain lol

You're ignorant. Obviously you know nothing about dogs.

My Airdale l9ves being stripped. She gets serious and stands still and then I let her jump around and she comes right back to me. It's like a bath they get stimulated and excited and feel loved and love the attention.

That dog is not in pain at all. I'm very receptive to any animal being in any pain as it upsets me but I see nothing of any sort in this video.
