Thank you for a very interesting MS site. Hope you will get your MS soon.
I have got a Salt n Pepper MS whom I adopted from a friend and she is really good company!!! |\_/| |0 0| ( O ) ""^"" All Dogs go to Heaven Some Owners go to Hell
I have no idea for other breeds.. but for my own experience on MS.. they really need more effort on grooming.. major grooming you can send to grooming centre, but yourself, you have to do normal grooming like combing and etc..
and no matter any breed, they all need you care and time.. time to walk them, train them, bath them and etc... and one more, your love ...
for me, no other choice, MS... because this breed is suitable to me ...
I bought it from a home breeder at Taman OUG. it cost me RM 1000 for Sparky.
(deworm,1st jab,with microchips,and cert.)
My poor little Sparky had 9 in 1 vaccination shot and travelled 2 1/2hour back to Muar.he slept for the whole day,,,,may be car sick lah....vomitting after the first meal.
Day 2, gaining appetite,only poo once late at night.....soooo worried.
Day 3, pooo for so many times,diarrhea liao kena tease by my maid.semalam tak berak,,,hari ini banyak berak.. call the breeder,advise to stop the new milk power i gave it to him. Feed him with small meal in frequent intervel.
Day 4, Sparky poo poo getting better.n getting active again
Today,,,,Day 5. early early morning Sparky making noise liao.
when i brought yippi back, he is already 2++ months, and was active and healthy, so it is safe for me to bath him week after I brought him back... i used warm water and gave him a very fast bath... that time i really kelam kabut.. like bath a new born baby..
you can try to get advice from the vet or pet shop... just for my own opinion, if he is not so dirty and smelly, try not to bath him so often lah, at this age...
and if you bath him, try to use warm water, make sure he won get cold, dry him completely after bath...
there are many type of puppy shampoo in the market, you can get advice from the pet shop too...
Hi, I just want to find out, when people buy a MS puppy, is it already groomed or not yet groom? I have 5 puppies and I not yet groom them. I am wondering should I leave the puppies the original look or should I groom them before going to the new home?

I posted something earlier in the Utility Group section about hand-stripping the Min Schnauzer before coming across this thread - maybe a more appropriate one for my query - can anyone here show me how to hand strip the doggie?
I want to do this rather than clip her because I've read that this is better for the coat and better for the groomer (i.e. myself) because a hand-stripped coat is easier to maintain. She's getting on to two months old now and I'm told it's about time to start getting her used to hand-stripping.

hello there,
I am Chris here, my ms is Tobe....hand stripping a ms is very troublesome and it will be heart breaking for you as the owner because it will be a very painful experience for your puppy. most ppl hand strip because they want to show their dogs. if u plan to keep the ms as a pet dog, clipping would be enough. So far i have not heard of any groomers saying handstripping a ms will be easier for them. Clipping is a much easier way to groom a ms.....well if u really want to handstrip ur puppy, there is actually books or info on the website about this matter...there are procedure to plucking actually, and it can;t be done all in one day ...it might take up to a wekk or more. good luck....and may ur ms bring joy to you....

hello there,
Hand stripping or known as plucking is a must if u plan to show your ms..the reason we need to handstrip is because handstripping will make the fur of the ms to be thicker and alot more coarse. most would prefer to hand strip from the very beginning when u get the puppy. hand stripping does need a bit of skill. it would also be painful for your puppy if done the wrong way, some puppy might even have fever....

Hi there,
You can still show if you have clipped your Ms but not many would do that because the judges will know that you clipped instead of stripped. It also depends on the txture of your MS's Fur some are born wiry and dense so if you start stripping now, it might still have a chance. ON where to get good clippers and stripping knife, there are many shops that sells clipper depending on the price you r willing to pay. Sea park pet supplies do have clippers for sale. good luck

if you want the blown up look, first thing first..does your MS have dense hair at the leg. if he or she does, it is very easy. usually wat ppl do is they will get rid of all tangles (hopefully there is no tangles) then after giving the ms a shower (without the conditioner). usually wat groomers does is the will cut the fur at the leg into a straight pole..sorry not too sure how to explain...if you look at a well groomed schnauzer, the hair at the leg must be very dense and it should be like wearing straight cut jeans...some groomers might cut it different and it all boils down to the style you personally want. for me i like the hair the legs to be thick and straight....makes the dog look nicer. let your dog take some supplements to ensure they don;t shed as much and the quality of the hair to be nice.

So I get it. Maybe bcoz my MS leg hair is not dense, it's hard to blown up the leg hair. I read there's a something like static spray / hairgel to fix the problem but not sure bout that. I only feed my MS premium dog food but thinking of giving her supplement. Is that any good supplement to enhance their look ?

Chris:
Well, it's time consuming yes. The main reason I handstrip her is because I hear a handstripped coat is stronger and more water- and dirt-repellent. This is useful since I plan to take doggie out for walks on a regular basis and she'll also come along on jungle walks. I've done her crown and part of her face so far. I find it easier to do when she's dozy. She hardly protests. At other times it can be a bit of a struggle.

Is it possible to get the details of the brand (Andis? Oster?) and the price and whether there's someone in the KL/PJ area who can sharpen the blade? Or the cost of getting replacements?

The Clipper is of Wahl make (american brand, look at www.wahlclipper.com).
Comes with 4 blade attachments (1 - 4). Blades do not need to be sharpened for a long long time (my hair stylist has used his for almost 3 yrs and he does about 12 - 15 heads a day, 6 days a week).
Will let u in on model number and price (estimated about RM 220 per unit he mentioned, suppliers price).
