Brussels Griffon
Does anybody know how to groom a Brussels Griffon?
I have a 8 month old Brussels Griffon and I don't know the proper way to groom her face and the top of her head. I know that they are supposed to be hand stripped, but what about the beard and the hair around her eyes? Please help!
"How do I groom my Brussels Griffon?"
Grooming is very different for the two coat types. Beginning with the smooth coat, regular brushing and occasional bathing should suffice. Nails must be trimmed short, and ears should be cleaned occasionally with a cotton ball and ear cleaner. Even on a smooth dog, the hair can sometimes grow long around the neck, rump and tail. Ears should also be trimmed to maintain a neat appearance.
The rough coat can be maintained in two ways. Most pet owners will opt to have their Griffon taken to a groomer, where the coat on the head, ears, back and sides will be clipped very short. The furnishings on the legs are left slightly longer, and the beard is trimmed to maintain a neat appearance. An alternate method is to hand-strip the coat - this is the grooming method used by breeders to maintain a show coat. This is done by pulling out the long dead hairs with a stripping knife or with fingers a few hairs at a time. Maintaining the coat in this fashion will keep the Griffon's coat at the proper harsh texture and deep color so he looks his best. Your breeder can give you instruction on grooming using either method. By shaving your Griffon with clippers, some of the depth of color and wiry texture is lost, but the grooming process is much easier to learn. If you are truly ambitious and want to maintain the stripped coat, your breeder will be able to give you lessons in hand stripping the coat. The process is not difficult to learn, but does require dedication and attention to detail. Whether the dog is clippered or hand stripped, the important thing to remember is to keep your Griffon well groomed and neat. The grooming process, when done gently and frequently can be an important bonding ritual between owner and dog.
