Grooming for Cairns?
I am a brand new Cairn mom ... Scamp is only 13 weeks old, but I have soooo much to learn, I figured I should start asking NOW! I see different posts about 'Stripping' or 'Cutting'. I have no idea what the difference is in the two and which is best! Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!
THANKS!

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
Good suggestion!!!
A groomer also told me about "carding" which she said is more like the hand-stripping process. Does anyone know anything about that or every heard of the term?
thanks.

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
Stripping tends to promote a harsh outer coat. I prefer it to clipping the coat, but it is very time consuming and you'll be lucky to find groomers willing to take the time to do it properly. Cutting tends to give you a softer coat. The choice you make all depends on whether or not you care if the coat is harsh or soft.

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
If you want to show him they demand the coat's stripped too. My girls have always been clipped. The Mars Coat King they sell at Colonel Potter's does the job like a strip would leaving a harsher coat.

Re:Mars Coat King
Can you tell me what this is? I assume it is a special grooming tool. Thanks, Jeanie

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
Stripping is the way to go here in Holland. I've always been told that clipping isn't too good for their coats, don't know if that's true or not. Try to find a groomer willing to strip him or try doing it yourself. It's quite a job to do, with my Cairn it usually takes about 2 to 3 hours at the groomer.

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
The Minkies' groomer refuses to do it anymore as it's so time-consuming and says the money just isn't good enough for it anymore.

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
Thanks for the info. Since Scamp is to be a pet / family member only .... I will go with what is simplest for us all.... cutting, and will use the same groomer I use for my poodle!
Thanks again!

Re: Grooming for Cairns?
I do not groom ED. I brush him about weekly and leave him alone. God gave him the coat he wears for a reason. Why mess with a good thing? (I'm also lazy, so that could account for my opinions.)
