Career Change

Valerie just sent me a link to an article that shows vividly the difference between a hand-stripped coat and one that's been clippered - on the SAME DOG.  This is a Wire Fox Terrier who was clippered for 5 years and then the owner learned to hand strip.  See the difference in color?  And the feel of the hand-stripped coat would be much more terrierish and less fuzzy or cottony.  The article recommends a 6-pack of beer to help in the learning process.  *smile*
