im getting a new white MS soon. price 1.2k is it reasonable? Without Cert

wats the diff between with Cert and without Cert?



The difference is that with the Cert, you will be able to know who the father and mother and even grand father and mother. Also i think with the Cert, at least you know that you are paying for a pure breed. But honestly these days, the value of Cert is big question mark now. Cos i do know that breeders can actually play along with the Cert. So is a matter of the trustworthiness of the breeders. Usually if the dog come with Cert, it is more expensive than one without.

White MS?? Cool!! Is white MS getting popular here??

you are right. cert o no cert a bit confusing nowadays. most importantly is you get a pup which is healthy and good temperament and in breed standard of course.

i got my salt and pepper with cert for 1.2k. Blush

Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

Min schnauzer if groom by clipper, should there be a visible line separating the clippered part and the feathering part at the bottom? because my groomer did that line, so my schnauzer's like wearing skirt. i saw books, the line doesn't seem that obvious. so shud there be a line there?

That would probably be a hand-stripped coat.

Hey, quick question to all you experienced schaunzer groomers... If i get a clipper from US, will i have voltage problems? i was told the US clippers are made for 120 volt but Msia's 240v? does that mean i need to buy a transformer?

any help from anyone would be very much appreciated.

Hi all,

It's been a long time I didn't log in here. I got one ms. All the while, I've been grooming her using clipper. Now going to buy other tools to groom my ms. I've been using the cordless clipper (Doggyman). It seems now the battery getting low. Is it possible to straight use from the adapter connect to the clipper?

Does anyone know how much is a grooming table? Where can I buy variety of grooming tools? Somewhere around old klang road or puchong.

Hi! I know there is a new shop whom they are specialized in MS. They have been in this breed for a little more then 10 years. The shop is opposite Sun City Cafe in Prima Tanjung opposite Island Plaza. I don't know if they are in operation already but I am excited to get there.The groomer was a Japanese Certified Groomer. Do try it out.

I do not think that its because of hand stripped coat. Logically speaking, it does the same thing if you strip or clipped (I mean on the line thing) on the coat, there is a lot of differences if you do it correctly, i.e. not cutting the coat.

Re: [holycow] Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

Dear all,

I am from KL, and planning to get a baby MS soon, as an in-house guard dog. I prefer MS because their coat does not drop much and they are agile, active, intelligent and more importantly, good with kids.

I have skim through your messages - phiew it took me quite a while - and i wonder:

Can i keep a MS with just basic grooming like i do for my bigger dog, i.e. clean eyes, cut nails, comb/brush it every two to three days, shower once in a week?

And once a while i will send the MS to grooming centre to keep the fur short?

Is the MS coat managable if I do not have all those specialised tools - just scissors, comb and brush.

My intention is to have that dog as a companion and want my little twin brothers (age 5 now) to grow with it, I only want it to be happy and clean. and i don't need my MS to be show-dog quality in terms of outlook.

Re: [makwk] Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

You will need:

1 Slicker brush
2 Dematting knife/comb/device
3 Comb
4 Pin brush
5 Small ball-tipped scissors for occasional trimming
6 Nail clipper
7 Pair of hemostats
8 Ear-cleaning fluid
9 Cotton wool

I would say this is the bare minimum you need for basic home grooming apart from the 4-5 trips a year to a professional groomer to keep your schnauzer's coat in proper condition.

The schnauzer's coat mats easily so you need Nr 1 & 2 to deal with the mats, 3-4 times a week at least. Nr 3 will also help with the dematting and you should get one with both fine as well as coarse teeth. The fine toothed side will double up as a flea/tick comb. You use Nr 3 & 4 for the blow-dry after a bath. It's good to have Nr 5 on hand in case you want to trim off a bit of fur here and there now and then. You need Nr 6 to deal with the nails (once every 1-2 weeks). The outer ear canals in schnauzers get overgrown with a dense growth of hair very quickly and you need Nr 7 to clear this, otherwise it becomes a breeding ground for all sorts of things, and you need Nr 7, 8 & 9 to clean the ears out now and then.

Good luck.

Re: [babymiki] Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

It's ok to bathe her. But since the puppy's still a bit young and fragile, make sure you dry her up immediately and use warmish water - their bodies are still small and are not able to cope so well with sudden changes in temperature.

I think once a week is excessive. I bathe my schnauzer once a month, once every six weeks, sometimes once every two months. Miniature schnauzers don't generally have a strong doggie smell and really if you comb and brush her regularly, all you'll need to do is to wipe her down now and then with a damp towel, and clean her paws after you come back from a walk, and her muzzle after a meal of black pepper steak. Excessive use of shampoo can deplete the natural oils on the skin and fur and lead to problems.

Miniature schnauzers can be prone to skin problems, so if your schnauzer has a problem and you find a product that helps, I'd use it, but I wouldn't go over the top. A lot of the time, the skin problems come from an inappropriate diet or aggravating factors around the house such as floor cleaners, shampoos (see above) and the like and I would deal with those first rather than slap some chemicals on the dog. I don't use anything on my own schnauzer.

Furnishing refers to all the frilly, fluffy bits on the legs and flanks of a properly groomed schnauzer.

Just to add to what I've written in a previous post - you also want to trim the fur between the paw pads of your schnauzer. This tends to grow very quickly and if you don't trim it off, your dog might start sliding around esp on a polished marble floor say. Use the ball-tipped scissors for this purpose. You should not leave it up to the professional groomer to do this unless you visit her once a month.

Hi! Sorry! I was very busy these days. The sodium bicarbonate is use to clean the frunishings. If you have yellowins stains and wants it white you can use it. But then its better to leave it to the professional to do it as they have a better way.

Hi! Irene,

If you cannot get it out, then you have to maintain your dog starting from now. I know of someone who can turn it white instantly but its not advisable, its better you maintain and slowly up keep your dog back white furnishings. I wash my dogs furnishings if it gets dirty and do not let her go out into dirty places. If she does, then I will wash her furnishings or let her go for grooming.

Re: [holycow] Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi holycow,

Of course, I do wash her furnishings if she dirtys it as I allow her to go outside to pee/poo and to play in the garden/courtyard but you know, white will never stay white, it will be sort of yellowish kind of white. I bath her at least once a week. I am interested in knowing how to whiten their furnishings, esp. on the feet and beard like what you see in show dogs. Perhaps you or someone can enlighten me into the secret. Thanks anyway.

Re: [irenekang] Grooming of M Schnauzer [In reply to] Can't Post

If you do not maintain her, she will be yellowish. I wash my dog's furnishings if I see some stains and if its dirty. And when my breeder gave me the dog, he specifically told me that if I do not keep it white then he will take it back from me. You can try to put apple cider vinegar once in a while in their food to make it white. But its all maintenances! My breeder (Ben in Penang) he has his dogs in air con 24/7 and has a special place for them to poo/pee. All his dogs are in the white furnishings so for your statement of white can never stay white, its not ture. I have been to his house and also saw it with my own eyes. And they are not show prepared. You take a look at my Binggi's picture, she has white furnishings and all I do is maintain her. Maybe you can contact his wife's shop 04-890 3516 she grooms my Binggi even before they opened grooming shop. Maybe they can help you turn your dog white but they are in Penang. Hope that helps!

Wah lau eh ...... so expensive to maintain a white MS. Looks like before I wanna get 1 white MS, i already give up. They seems to be having a better life than us. LIke that, i'd better stick to colored MS. I like particularly the grey-white MS. at least can hide any defects in white. I want to enjoy my pet - not put myself to stress with my pet.

I was once being scolded by my breeder/ friend (Ben) to mention White MS. So please do not say that I mention about white MS cos he really devote his life to MS and he will be mad at me if he hears I mention white MS. The Grey-White MS is Salt and Pepper. This was my first lesson from him too. There are 3 colors Salt & Pepper, Black & Silver and Black.
