How to comb the Wirehaired Pointer Griffon? The Wirehaired Pointer Griffon has a long coat, so the owner needs to comb them frequently, and the dog likes to exercise, so it is best to do it every day Take them out for a walk.

Maintenance knowledge

The scraper brush was originally used when grooming wire-haired dogs. Dogs such as West Highland White and Miniature Schnauzer have a hard surface coat that can be cared for daily with a scraper.

Scraper brushes are divided into two types: soft type with soft and thin comb needles and hard type with hard and stiff comb needles. Wire-haired dogs should choose a hard scraper. Soft-bristled shaving brushes are suitable for some soft-haired dog breeds such as Maltese and Yorkshire terriers.

When choosing, you should choose one that is elastic and the comb needle will not tilt when combing hard hair.

Combing method:

Carefully comb from the back to the front to avoid missing any areas. It doesn't matter if the order is reversed. When combing, extending the scraper brush to the root of the hair will better remove the hair.

Hind legs:

Raising the legs a little will make it easier to comb. The hind legs have raised ankle bones, so pay attention when combing.

Face:

Hair around the face, such as beards, should be combed in the direction of the head. The hair around the mouth should be combed in the direction of the dog. And the dog's mouth should be pressed firmly to avoid harm to it due to loose movement.

Editor’s tip: When combing your dog’s hair, pay attention to the dog’s limbs, armpits and belly. This type of skin is very delicate and can be scratched accidentally.
