How to care for the Kerry Blue Terrier? As a terrier, the hair must be fluffy, messy and rough. The coat of this dog is relatively soft and not easy to fall off, so it does not need to be combed every day. As for grooming, the editor will introduce it in detail below.
Beauty care
1. Comb the hair all over the body to remove tangles;
2. Check and clean ears, eyes, and teeth. If necessary, remove excess ear hair and trim toenails;
3. Trim the hair in clumps between the pads and around the toes;
4. Use natural bath shampoo to bathe the dog;
5. Dry and blow dry with a hair dryer;
6. Body trimming: Start from the bottom of the head and trim along the spine to the tail. It should be trimmed in the direction of hair growth. Trim the whole body to the joints of the front legs and hind legs, but some edges should be left on the front of the hind legs. Extends approximately 2.5 cm from the knee joint;
7. Head trimming: start from the top of the head to the bottom of the forehead, trim the entire forehead, trim the hair from the corners of the eyes to the base of the ears, and trim the hair from the corners of the mouth to both sides of the throat;
8. Ear trimming: Fix the ears with your hands when using the clippers. Trim the small fuzz around the ears with hand scissors, gently press the auricle with your fingers, and use scissors to gently remove all the fuzz around the ears;
9. Eyebrow trimming: First, trim the hair between the eyes to form a separation. The cleaner and tighter the trimming, the more prominent the boundary will be. Secondly, use a comb to comb the eyebrows forward to form a parallel line centered on the nose and cut forward with scissors. Then, use the comb to comb forward, starting from the outer corners of the eyes, and cut the scissors across the center of the nose to intersect with the first trimming point to form an inverted "V" shape. The eyebrows should blend with the surrounding short hair.
10. Beard trimming: comb the beard forward and use scissors to cut the beard into a rectangle close to the cheek in a straight line. Do not touch the hair under the eyes. You can trim uneven and messy beard.
11. Front leg trimming: Use a comb to comb the hair so that it stretches out from the legs, and then cut it with scissors. To create a cylindrical effect, it can be trimmed into a round shape. Trim in a straight direction from the joints to the bottom of the foot. Make sure that there are no free hairs protruding from the joints or other parts. The hair on the feet should be trimmed into a round shape and cannot show sharp points.
12. Trimming of hind legs: When trimming the hind legs, the hair on the knees should be blended with the hair on the hock joints to form the outline of the legs, and trimmed into a semicircle with scissors from the knee joint down to the hock joint.
Editor’s suggestion: It is best to take your dog to a pet shop and have it trimmed by a professional beautician. People who are not familiar with scissors can easily cut the dog's hair and skin.
