The perfect age for starting show groomimg

Grooming is an important part of looking after your Schnauzer. Regular grooming will help keep your Schnauzer healthy and comfortable and you will spot potential problems early. Whether you decide to clip or strip your Schnauzer, help is on hand. Schnauzers are generally a non-shedding breed and will require a fair amount of grooming to get rid of dead hair.

Actually I wrote that wrong. The wire hair does die but it ends up getting the top cut off so the wire hair stays in the follicle, cant regrow and the undercoat takes over. This is what happens with a clipped jacket.

Thank you!
As I said before I erroneously stripped my puppy's legs and what grew back looks like normal fir/same as on the rest of the body. Anything I can do to speed up the recovery of the soft hair? Especially taking into account that she has very hash coat.

Thank you for clarification :)!

Oh he is a handsome chap :x Do a new post telling us all about him with pictures of course.
I would just suggest keeping the legs clean and conditioned to prevent hair damage as it grows back. Standards dont tend to have full fluffy furnishings on their legs anyway.

Thank you :), I think She is quite a good puppy...not perfect but nobody ever is.
If we ever manage to grow those hair back I will certainly post another picture.
Got the conditioner...will try :)
