im not so sure, but last time i shave my ms bald, but their fur feels kinda the same just a lil bit rough than before....and on the side note i think our ms turn grey faster that way?

Hi j3ffm0n,
Thanks for replying. I am not so concerned about the color as my dog is white. I just want to know if it's softer or rougher. My poor dog is kinda having thin hair on the head, which makes him look less like a West Highland White Terrier.
You're saying a little more rough. I was thinking shaving him and regrow might help with growing thicker and smoother hair.

Pennywise,
Is true.Shave more the coat getting soft and color too.The show coat Miniature Schnauzer need in a stripped coat. But no easy. It need have to learn from exhibitor , breeder ,or profesional handle. if you really want bring for show. Must do that. stripped cost it is double with hard,wiry outer coat and short undercoat. I remember ricky is more black and hard coat. Ricky have show coat quality,but we unable to do stripping,now he color getting light.
At KL have vendor do stripp for service.the price about rm 400-500.they also sell Miniature Schnauzer puppy Show quality. if have $ can get one. If you get a quality Miniature Schnauzer is diffent with our dog.
Hi clementcpteh,
On the contrary to j3ffm0n post above, you say it's softer. My dog, West Highlands also needs to be stripped - I am aware of that but that's not my main concern now. What I want now is for him to grow more fur on the head.
1. Feed more flaxseed and fish oil for nicer fur
2. Shave him bald as I think it applies to dog as it applies to human, if you shave your leg hair, more will grow from it. So if we shave the dog, more will grow from it?
Hahahaha.. some theory eh? I probably give it a shot after CNY - still considering.
