I HAVE A BLACK MINATURE SCHNAUZER WITH A VERY THICK FLUFFY COAT.I AM AWARE THAT BLACKS TEND TO HAVE A SOFTER MORE BRITTLE COAT THAN SALT AND PEPPERS BUT THE DOGS I HAVE SEEN AT SHOWS SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD COARSE COAT.I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW HER BUT DISPITE SECTION STRIPPING HER REGULARLY, HER COAT STILL SEEMS TO GROW BACK EVEN FLUFFIER.CAN ANYONE SUGGEST OTHER STRIPPING TOOLS OR METHODS OTHER THAN THE USUAL STRIPPING KNIVES,RUBBER THIMBLES,OR DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON PREPARING BLACKS FOR SHOWING.I AM RELUCTANT TO CLIP HER AS THIS WOULD RUIN HER COAT TEXTURE .WHERE AM I GOING WRONG?
