hi everyone,:)
we stripped poppet the other day, and she looks really weird!
i'm sure its just because her hair was so long before, and now its really short, it was a really big shock!:yikes:

"Eek! You said my dog would have a nice wire coat. I had my dog
handstripped and now she looks naked and is very soft. How long will it
take to grow back?
Often the wire coat is in one layer and pulling it leaves them in their "underwear" until a new coat wire comes though. The undercoat is soft and supposed to be.
It may take 8 to 10 weeks before the new wire coat comes in and is long enough to cover the undercoat."
