My mini-schnauzer is 3 yo and always clipped. When he was a pup, his coat was black with white furnishings. I thought he was a black & silver, but as he aged......his coat matured to Salt & Pepper. Now, he is more of a silver grey.......
Anyhow, I have a continuous round of comedons and my research suggests this symptom could be aggravated by clipping the coat. Clipping is pretty quick and easy to do, I have been doing this myself for nearly 3 years. Now, I desire to try another approach to the comedon situation and I'd also like his darker wire coat to emerge.
I am planning to undertake the stripping task myself. I have not found groomers that I trust or that are familiar with coat stripping. In truth, I'm not comfortable with stripping the dog to bare skin. Thinking more along the path of a "Rolled Coat". Shadow is not a show dog. I know the Rolled Coat will take more time to manifest into a wire coat.
2 Questions:
1.) Will a coat clipped for 3 years be able to generate a wire coat?
2.) Does anyone who strips the coat of their dog have suggestions?
