Hi Tracy. We have discussed coat presentation many times on this Forum, including the differences between the US and Europe. Both standards say "of moderate length". Tracy.....how short is "short"? Would it be like stripping a cocker, because that is short. Are we talking sculpting?<br />
We do not touch the body coat, other than to brush it and, if excessively wavey, to bring it under control with the use of the drycoat etc, as previously described.

Eeeeek Tracy!!!!!!!! Not a good idea, regardless of what instrument you use it is still stripping!!!! You will split the hair. Thank god your puppy will cast this coat and, hopefully, grow back straighter. Please, please don't strip a Setter's coat. It will end up being short on the body and ragged at the ends, like a razor cut. There are other ways of straightening. Check out products that you can apply to "relax" the coat as you blow dry and use a drycoat.

Oh thanks for that Eva, we have a towelling coat that we normally use, so I will give that a go too..fingers crossed it will sort those few little kiss curls out lol.

Sheree. You don't need to leave the coat damp before you put the drycoat on. Dry it as normal because the hair shaft will still be relaxed. I have also found putting a towelling coat over the top of the drycoat benificial because the dog can finish drying under his own body heat.

I've also bought one of the drydog coats for my english lad, he has such a huge coat and I have trouble keeping the curls at bay. I've yet to try it but he is in a show this weekend so I thought I would bath him today and try it out. He adores being dried with the hairdryer so it's going to be difficult to leave him damp to put the coat on, maybe I could just put the dryer on him again once the coat is in place?

<p>Hi Jutta,</p>
<p>I too would recommend the net drying coat. I got mine from <span class="f"><cite>www.<b>drydogcoats</b>.co.uk. </cite></span></p>
<p><span class="f">They have a stretch neck that pulls over the dogs head and helps flatten the flyaway bits down the side of the neck, then the rest of the coats hangs quite comfortably on the dog with bands underneath to fasten under the belly. Put on when the dog is still a wee bit damp, the result is a lovely smooth and shiny coat. My girls…</span></p>

I think it means to them that I'm finished with faffing around with grooming products and I'm going to leave them in peace to chill on the sofa and get over the "trauma" of the bath.<br/></span></p> Thank you, I will stop worryi…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2011-01-06:865021:Comment:4403402011-01-06T22:47:49.823ZJuttahttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/JuttaMoore
<p>Thank you, I will stop worrying now and nature will take its course and surprise me! What a beautiful coat Beatles has now, and he is just lovely. Ours is more like Ingrid's for whom the reply below was intended.</p>
<p>I wonder how Frozen Asset looked as an 8 week old puppy and if litter mates were similar.</p>

<p>Yes, just like it on the back, in all directions, but starting to be 'curlfree' halfway down the ribcage.</p>
