QUOTE(ahju_vodka @ Dec 14 2008, 04:03 PM) Hi all, I'm new here . Have been reading this forum before I really got my own MS. Since there's no groomer available here, I'm actually grooming my MS by myself. Can someone tell me how should I groom the inner part of the ears? Must it be no fur at all (pluck all)? Pluck out as much as you can. Use a pair of hemostats. Then clean out the ears using some ear cleaning solution and cotton wool. You can use the hemostats for this as well. You have to be patient. Pluck out a few strands at a time. Don't attempt to pluck out a whole clump! |

I saw many post that to clip the fur from head to tail...but the clipper I have (for human), I have to clip from tail to head...no wonder I feel weird.....please help me...... You feel weird after you've clipped yourself from tail to head or your dog from tail to head? |

QUOTE(red-queen @ Dec 28 2008, 03:56 PM) alrighty...my gf and i made up our minds...we're gonna get a MS!!!! inv, the linggene kennel u mentioned. where is it? i'm from pj/kl area. Before you go ahead and get yourself a miniature schnauzer, bear in mind this is a fairly high maintenance dog. They tend to be hyperactive and need to be exercised and given enough stimulation through adequate play time/ training, or they can get bored and this can lead to undesirable behaviour. Their coat is also requires a lot of maintenance. This entails grooming at least every other day to clear mats and tangles and to lift out dead undercoat, and the ears require a fair bit of attention in terms of plucking out hairs and cleaning. If you're going to maintain a clipped coat, this entails a trip to a professional groomer or a DIY job every 6-8 weeks. |

QUOTE(red-queen @ Dec 28 2008, 08:14 PM) no worries..... like i've mentioned, i have my fair share of experience handling dogs. not only a MS, but i believe all dogs requires alot of exercise else they tend to get destructive. i love dogs and i've always been a very responsible dog owner. i jog every evening with my GSD's and my gf. she can't handle my GSD's. so now with the MS, i think it'll be no problem for her. i have adequate compound in my house for him to run around and play. normal combing and grooming is not much of a problem...but as for clipping i think jason provides this service with very good pricing. i believe the only task that is challenging for me is to house-train him as the MS will be inside my house most of the time. Miniature Schnauzers are quite intelligent and they learn fast. Toilet training shouldn't pose too much of a challenge. But like all small breeds, they can't hold their bladders for very long when they're puppies, so you'll have to allow for lots of 'accidents'. |
