wrapping Shih Tzu

hello..

It would be very interesting to talk about Shih Tzu wrapping in paper. I see that some people/breeders always wrapping thems Shih Tzu, but other do not wrapp at all. How is better ? Or it depend from coat texture?

Very interesting, I also would like to know how you people do it?

I only wrap my shih tzu when they go to show. Other times I only do it with rubber bands.

You wrapping your dogs before show day or between shows?

I was always wrapping my Darlen between shows, but with Twister and Happy I don't know what to do.. It is very hard to keep clean coat if it isn't wrapped, because my dogs going to outside...

I wrap them the day before and after show. The other days they aren't wrapped.

My dogs also go outside, playing in the grass... But after they played I always wash their faces with no rinse shampoo and I brush the coat.

and how you wrapping thems ? Because if you wrapping with paper like this :



so how the coat do not curl ?

No I don't "pack" them like on the photo.

I do it like this: http://fotos.whizima.be/#6.8

SO is ok I also doing the same when I going to shows.

and at home you only band face hairs ?

I always wrapping in paper face hairs, because if I don't wrapp they eat it...

Yeah, at home I only band face hair.

But even if I wrap them in paper, my girl Maya always will find a manner to put out the paper and bands!!!! She is a very naugthy girl! And my boy Whisper sometimes play with Maya's hair... he pulls the bands out and eat it!!! I have very bad shih tzu's!

Now, for me it's no problem because I don't show Maya anymore. But if Riven will be here, I will definitly look after her. I don't want her coat to be damaged...

My Twister was very bad boy too when he was younger. i was trying to wrapp him all in paper but he always remove it from him coat , the same was when he was in Poland with him breeder Bogumila , she was trying to wrapp him , but it wasn't good idea , so she band him hairs...
At this momment I do not wrapp him, but I don't like him hairs too it isn't so long how other shih-tzu , so I was thinking maybe I need to start wrapp him..

About Happy she don't care about her face , but i haven't try to wrapp her all. She is still 9 months old , so I keep her hairs free till she finish to change her coat

My little Maya's coat also did not reach the ground and she's 14 months old right now.

Do you think wrapping the coat will make the coat grow faster? If it is, I would definitly try it on Maya. But it's lots of work also. I haven't experience with wrapping the whole coat...

How i know from Maltese and Yorkies breeders, they told that if hairs reaching ground the ends of hairs can damage in the outside and it don't grow anymore... So they always wrapping the coat to protect it.

My Twister is 2 years now , the hairs is on the ground only little bit , I would like to have dog with very long hairs

My Happy is only 9months and her hairs is almost the same like Twister

I think it depends from dog also..

Ears are wrapped all the time.
Earlier I wrapped the body hair into curlpapers, later I queued little plaits and now Gile`s hair are free, we go to the shows not very frequetly as earlier, but the coat is pretty good :] But the best quality of her coat was in the "plait-time".

It mostl;y depends from the structure of coat, I think Happy`s hair are rougher, such a coat is stronger, I think :]

That is how I do mine during the week. Nothing on their coat's body, just on the head

July and January I'm doing this....

OMG her coat is just PERFECT, the sturcture of hairs looks very good ! If it isn't a secret , what products you useing for weekly bath?

I also wrapping head the same and don't wrapping body at this momment, but hairs growing very long time for my Twister so I think I need to try to wrapp him all..

Wonderful coat!
Tell us your secret

I did/do exactly the same for home or show..
Laser lites is the brand I'm using since they are exported in Europe.. Lanolin Shampoo 1 big spoon of shampoo in one liter of water (that's what I'm using) more or less on head and end LOL... only one shampoo.. then Conditioning Drape (15ml) or Protein (60ml) always in 1 liter of water . I'm using the drape for the show, but at home either one or the other and I did/do not rinse
During the week each day sometimes 2 or 3 times a day I'm using on the beard, moustaches and the other end (pee pee) the no rinse Shampoo Show Off from Chris Christensen, I pour it very well on the dirty hair, then clean carefully and dry with a small soft towel and dry very well with the dryer. Then before wrapping again I spray a little bit of conditionning (mix of proteine with water) dry again and wrap.
It takes me around 10 minutes each time to do and redo a head during the day for maintenance
here is Lucy after her bath

And does it help to keep the moustaches white?
What about the wrapping paper? Are you using this special rice paper for wrapping or something else?
I am using rice paper but when the dogs make the faces wet (they do not like the special bottle for drinking, they like drinking from the bowl), the paper gets wet and it loses its purpose...

i don't wrap mine either...

just whiskas are wrapped. they do play roughly, so i'm scared they will tear the wrappings off:!!!!

heads i just bande them.....

Jossete, earlier I was useing Laser Lites too, it was very good for us,. but now we recieve very bad quality of thease products, so I decide stop useing it. Where are you buying it, maybe it is possible to order it through the internet..

I bought them at the shows The vendor has a booth there. He is from Italy
