So Torsten has been clipped!
the decision was taking out of my hands when i saw how many cuts, scabs and sores he has from Elicas teeth! sadly stripping and carding was hurting him.
Initial clip before i changed my mind (yet again!)
And final tidy up and fluff up after a bath
Elicas also had a little tidy up
And a little one of them both together!
bath and clipping day!

They both look amazing! I have extreme white beard envy! Their little faces have so much character, stunning x

Re: bath and clipping day!
They both look gorgeous You could probably get his stripped coat back if you wanted. Over Dec & Jan I wasn't here much and Barney only got stripped once in 8 weeks. It's come back fine although it took a while ;)
Having said that if his coats gone softer with neutering clipping is probably the way to go

Looking gawjus
It will be interesting to see how his coat colour changes. The stripping will have given him a good foundation ;)

Re: bath and clipping day!
seeing how much white has come through, and on a long blade, im leaning towards continuing the clipping, ive got a stripping stone though so ill use that and try and maintain his jacket, as if possible i would like to keep his jacket a little longer than a minis usual cut, but wont if he goes curly
