We all want our Irish Terriers to have a perfect coat all of the time, but sometimes there may be no under-coat and so the question is, will it recover.
I have been stripping Irish Terriers for years, and this short sequence of films may help.
It has taken a little longer to recover the deep coat than hoped, but here it is four weeks later …

Hi – I want to know why Irish Terriers were bred or evolved to need to be hand-stripped? I understand how stripping is done and why – for the health and strength of the coat. But why did this breed evolve with a need to be stripped?

Frank,
Thank you very much for your question. We’re sorry our response has taken so long, your Q was lost in the junk.
Irish Terriers are not the only terrier breed to be hand stripped. Others include Airedale, Wire Haired Fox Terrier, Lakeland, Welsh and many more. These breeds do not moult and there is no need to strip their coats. Many owners prefer them not stripped, so there is no need only personal choice.
We hope this helps.
All the best to you and everyone in NZ.
