Borders should be plucked not shaved. Never shaved ours.

My Border has a very fine inner coat , she was stripped once which left her bare and sore . She now gets scissor cut , so to all you who are so negative , you need to go by the individual dog , not the breed .

Scissors don’t remove the dead hair and defeats the point.

What a transformation! Love that you pause frequently to give reassurances and praise, and that you get a friendly tail wag in return!

A lot of older Borders find hand-stripping intolerable, and it is stressful for dog and owner. Great video, very helpful, and use of scissors for face trim especially so. Thank you Lauren, ignore the know-alls. The best video on clipping that we found, as it covers all parts of the dog.

Clipping doesn’t remove the old dead hair and leaves the coat feeling bristley and horrible. It also reveals the wrinkles on back of neck, not nice. You can hand strip yourself as they don’t need to look like show dogs, just a good tidy up and strip out the dead hair works wonders. This chap is adorable and so tolerant though.

Shouldn't this breed be trimmed???

Very nice manner with the pup. you took really good care of her :). Is she this light color because she's clipped? when I strip my border, each hair is colored only at the tips and turns white/clear near the base, so if i clipped him I think I'd cut off all his color. Was this pup naturally brown/black?

ich dacht border terrier werden getrimmt und nicht geschoren um ihre fellstruktur nicht zu beschädigen???

Such a good girl

Well done

Did you clip the private area or did I miss it?

At wat age should I take my border terrier a bath

Thank you for this video. My Border is a “single coat” and he currently looks like a muppet.I will share this with his groomer. Where are you located?

Lauren. Could you tell me the blade length of the attachment please? I'm doing my Border this weekend, your video is just so helpful. Thanks RB. 🤩🤩

In reply to first comment, their cosat changes over time and very often becomes difficult and painful to hand strip. So the only options are trimming or using a pair of thinning scissors

You don't strip Borders by clipping. Ruins the coat, loses natural water proofing and goes curly. Pluck the hair out in marigold gloves and add a little plain talc. A few treats. Scissor round the delicate areas. @@laurenemcotton

I’d let you shave my border anyday you are very good with this lovely young lady and she’s not traumatised like my borders when they came back from grooming 👍👌👏👏❤️❤️

We had our Border professionally stripped. It was only when he got up to 14 years old that we started just trimming him. He lived to be 16! He was a handsome boy after a strip. He looked like he needed a bow tie, lol.

No 😭😭😭😭 you should NEVER clip border terriers as you totally ruin the fur. They needs to be handstripped.

What du you use for a machine? 😊 🐶

Doesn't even look like a border terrier any more with a coat that fluffy. That's what years of clipping does

You did a fantastic job. The music a little too much but you did great

No you do not . Only if you want to show them. My Border has a thin undercoat and can't be stripped . My previous Border used to get very irritated skin when hand stripped and my Vet who had a Border told me it's unnecessary. Every Dog is different .

Don’t clip these dogs. Offer the service of hand stripping or turn the owner away. You could get a huge fee for hand stripping. Clipping these dogs is just wrong.

Thank you for expressing your concerns about my decision to clip this Border Terrier's coat. I understand that not everyone may agree with this decision, and I respect your opinion. However, The owner made the decision to clip this Border Terrier's coat for a few reasons. It is important to note that the effects of clipping a Border Terrier's coat will not be permanent, and the coat will eventually grow back to its original length and texture. I understand that some people believe that a Border Terrier's coat should be left unclipped to maintain the breed's characteristic appearance. However, I believe that as long as my Border Terrier is healthy and well-cared for, the length of their coat is a personal choice.
