He was neutered in late November and I want to keep on top of his coat so hopefully it will continue to be able to be stripped and not go soft and be sore to strip. I have just ordered him a Equafleece Tankie Top, which is a vest like top and he can wear it every day and it won't restrict him doing anything, but I am just hesitating picking up the phone to book him in the Groomers as snow still on the ground here. :unsure:

A couple of winters I've had to strip Davey right down, not just a tidy up but completely take the old coat right off. I can't tell you how wicked I felt .... thankfully neither winter was particularly cold and his coat grows back really quickly!

If its freezing he is very comfortable in his tankie - even had to take it off him on one windswept mountain walk as he was panting in the snow :lol: When can we see a photo of the Blue Rascal :D

Don't worry - he'll be so smug prancing round with his new hairdo he'll forget about the cold if he's a proper Irish :devil:
