Behavior changes after coat is stripped
Anybody else got a dog that where you strip
the coat (pulling out the hairs a few at a time) rather than clipping? Does your dog turn into a recluse when newly stripped? Many rough-coated terriers are supposed to be groomed in this way. Angel the Airedale's coat needs stripping about twice a year. Breeder did it for me this time. Angel looks like she's going around in her underwear...lots smaller and a little shivery. Sleeping curled in doughnut with nose under tail. But she is quite demonstrative about not wanting to wear her coat when we go out - temps are about 35 deg Fahr here now. And she is avoiding much people contact, not looking for her morning snuggler, choosing to go and sack out in the master bedroom when we are in the main room (lvr/ofc/kit) and vice versa. She also didn't want to go out with the dog walker today: demonstrated by heading for the livingroom instead of out into the hall as usual when he came to get her. Appetite and elimination are stable, so I don't think she's sick. -- Laura Arlov 9091 2454 NEW ADDRESS: LĂ„veveien 50 leil. #201 0682 Oslo NEW PHONES Laura's desk: 2191 4599 Per's desk: 2191 4549 |
