THE
AUSTRALIAN SILKY TERRIER
The Only
Australian Toy Dog
GROOMING YOUR SILKY TERRIER ;
The
Silky Terrier has very fine hair. It is similar to human hair and does not
shed
like other breeds.
For this reason, it is important that
the Silky be brushed
and combed at least twice weekly to keep it tidy
and free from snarls and mats.
I suggest you invest in a good quality
lanolin - based shampoo,
a lanolin - or oil based conditioner,
Mink oil, or Almond Oil , a natural bristle brush,
a ball-tipped pin
brush, scissors, nail clippers, hand clippers,
metal comb and a fine - tooted
metal comb. so that is all you need
to help to control your dog's coat. Mink Oil or Almond Oil sprayed and brushed
through between
washing Hair,
helps prevent damage to the coat.
The conditioner or
mink Oil helps prevent tangles and dry skin.
Bath the dog in tepid water, never cold. Pat and squeeze the excess
water
from
the dog's coat with a towel, then blow dry
[ if the dog is left to dry
and run
free the coat will tangle and get
slightly wavy].
After the coat is about half dry, use the pin brush to straighten the
hair, working from the center part line down and around the legs.
Trimming;
if you like? which means that the ears should be free of long hair,
the muzzle
be clean of long hair from the eyes to the nose with an inverted
V shape between the eyes. The legs and feet from the foot to the first joint of the
leg also
should be
free of long hair. So using scissors and hand clippers, clean hair from this area and
between the toes. Trim the nails with nail clippers often; this will stop the
foot from
spreading and the dog from walking on the back of its pad. Brushing center part; The center part goes from forehead to the tail in a
straight line. comb the coat down each side and down each
leg.
Using the pure-bristle brush, brush the hair down frequently. this will give a nice shine to it; the more you brush, the shinier the coat. And
if you can not cope with the clipping yourself, we will be glad to help you, or we will show you how to clip your puppy.
