Thank You very, very much. I have 11 months old Airedale Terrier, and I have no groomer in my city, who will want to trimm my dog. I have to learn how to do it myself and this video is the best.
Hi Jitka. Just watched this video and it brought back great memories of the care you gave Hector over the years. We hope you are having a great life together in Slovakia. Niall & Chris
Thank you for a very educational video. I really learned a lot. Lovely to watch how you work with the dog too, beeing so friendly and making sure she ok all the time. Great work!
As #Astrid said: its a pleasure, how you are handling the dogs - besides seeing the very talented hands of a great gifted yourneywoman! Thanks for your good advices, thanks a lot.. .
Thanks for the video, my great aunt rescued Airedales, and when I live somewhere where I can have a dog I'd love to have an Airedale. I didn't know the females could be bald after hand stripping after they've had puppies, I guess having kids can be hard on the body for dogs too.
Hola felicitaciones por tu video, tuve un Airedale Conan que era maravilloso 😍😍 y creo que lo mejor que lo pude tener es como esta la bella Airedale al principio del video, quizas un poco mas corto 😊 arrancandole el pelo con los dedos solamente, me faltaba la mesa y las cuchillas para intentarlo, espero volver a tener un Airedale y me encantaría intertar hacer lo que explicás en el video, podrias compartir por favor mayor detalle de las cuchillas e instrumentos necesarios para realizar el hand stripping ....saludos de Temuco Chile
Hello this video is very useful thankyou. I just have a few questions. After this groom how many weeks was it until her next groom? And then how often did you groom her doing the rolling strip instead? Is there a video of when she next came in and what you did on her /how her coat was looking? Thankyou!
Amazing video! I don’t think I heard you mention why you use the chalk? Is there a benefit with using the stripping knife or is it like a guide for you?
Thank you so much for this, it is very helpful! I'd love to see what it looks like to do the opposite side of the dog (i.e., the way that your body mechanics change when you are stretching the skin). Also, I have a very difficult time figuring out the direction of hair growth on legs when I do my cairn. I think I'm probably do it wrong. (And his head, too.) :-(
Thank you! That's a really good point! I will do the other side in my future video. When it comes to legs on a Cairn, the direction of hand stripping is similar like I did in my hand stripping video - the furnishings. You hand strip down and slightly away from the leg. On the head pull the hair away from the head, so the new hair will grow in that direction. You can also use a carding knife to remove some of the soft hair; again pulling away from the head. Hope it helps :)
@@vitacanis1117 Thank you very much, I've got one to do soon. I've stripped many small and medium terriers/dachshunds but this will be my first Airedale.
You can use a medium knife on the body, and even on the head, etc if the cost is long. Otherwise I would recommend a fine knife on the head, front, back end and and fine or extra fine on the ears. I like to use a file knife for rolling the coat. Hope it helps :)
Why does this not hurt the Bingley, Every dog I have had If I were to pluck hair out of it would have been cruel. It must rip them out by the follicles or am I missing something. I had a Wheaton terrier very easy to groom but this would not have been tolerated. Just questions. The work is very good and thank you for the time you have invested.
Thank you for your question. Wheaton terrier is not hand stripped breed, they have soft wavy coat, not harsh like some of the other terriers ( Airedale, Lakeland, Welsh, Fox Terrier, JRT, Irish, etc) Harsh hair is not anchored in the skin as deeply as a soft hair, therefore it is easier to pull out. Also the technique is very important! You can't just grab it and pull it. The skin needs to be stretched, and just pull a small amount in the direction of growth. Hope it helps :)
@@vitacanis1117 I understand your reply. thankyou for your quick response. I have a Wheaton and appreciate the difference in dog coats/hair. What I am referring to is every hair no matter what the texture has hair follicles every hair follicle has a small erector pili muscle, to erect that hair and so a nerve supply. So I still dont understand why it does not hurt the dog when you are pulling out the hairs. I am not saying you are cruel. People say you should pluck the hair from the inside of a Wheaton's ear. They will get use to it. No they dont and why would they.
Hello Jorge! You can start gently pulling the puppy fluff from age 8 - 10 weeks, depending how fluffy your puppy is. If you are taking your puppy to a groomer I would do it about two weeks after the second vaccination. They need the time to get used to it
Hi Tayelor! It's not always necessary, especially if you are not showing. However, if you are showing, you will have to take the flat areas (cheeks, ears, front , side of the neck, shoulders, upper arm and back end) bald. Once the new hair grow about 1 -2mm, you start rolling the coat weekly, to keep the coat as short as possible. I'm planning to do a video on this next month. What breed do you have?
@@vitacanis1117 I have a miniature schnauzer. Hes getting ready for shows and I have no idea how to get all the fur so all you see is bald skin. I’m attemping to do it at the moment XD not sure if i’m doing it correctly. Do you have an email where I can send a photo through?

Maybe the best ”handstripping an Airedale -video” I have seen. Thank you very much!! 😊👍🏼
Thnak you, so much!!
Fantastic video and beautiful work.
Got a kick out of her giving you smooches during the timelapse haha
What an incredible transformation. Thank you so much for sharing, what a beautiful dog.
Best handstripping video on RUclips. Thankyou

You are an artist!

Great job! Love your videos :) Love to see some videos about cairn terriers in the future.
Thank you, Karolina! Unfortunately I don't have any Cairns on my books at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind :)
No sé cómo se puede estar tan cerca de esta perrita y no comerla a besos. Es Preciosa!!
Y tiene una paciencia increíble la pobre.
Great video, thank you Jitka!
This is the most detailed video on Airedale stripping/grooming I have ever seen on RUclips.
Truly educational, loved it!
Thank you, Bojan! I really appreciate it :)
Wow, beautiful work!
Can you please post the link for the antiseptic spray? Also, what is the best way to find a real handstripper in NY?

Great video , very informative. Can I ask where you get your tunic from ?

Just what I was looking for
How long does it take to get this dog completely naked? Thanks for the detailed description!❤️
How long did this take you to finish? Thank you, loved the video
Thank you :) She took me about 3-4 hours including bathing
Amazing video! I don’t think I heard you mention why you use the chalk? Is there a benefit with using the stripping knife or is it like a guide for you?
Thank you, Meredith for your lovely comment! Even when using the knife the chalk helps me with a grip. Hope it helps :)
@@vitacanis1117 Thank you! I will be using your videos as references for years to come and sharing them with my fellow dog lovers. Thank you again :D

How long did the full hand strip take ?
I think it took me 4 hours
@@vitacanis1117 Thank you very much, I've got one to do soon. I've stripped many small and medium terriers/dachshunds but this will be my first Airedale.
That's exciting@@SusieRetallick I hope you enjoy it! The principle of hand stripping on all of them is the same, Airedale is just much bigger lol
@@vitacanis1117 Thank you 😁👍
Can you tell me what's type of knife you use at certain stages ie fine course?

@@tayelorg8605 my email is enquiries@vitacanis.co.uk
What is the chalk used for??
It helps you to grab and hold the hair
How soon should hand stripping be done to a puppy?
You can start gently after the second vaccination, just to get him / her use to it
