The biggest feature of Schnauzer grooming is hair plucking.
Many people are asking, "Why does Schnauzer pluck its hair?"

If Xiaoxue is not plucked, the color of the Schnauzer's back hair will become lighter and lighter, even turning into a light silvery white. If your Schnauzer wants to compete, it must be plucked. This is necessary beauty care. Of course, if it is your own pet-level Schnauzer and you do not plan to compete, you can choose regular pruning instead of plucking.

2. The Schnauzer needs a 4-week plucking cycle. When plucking, pinch the tail of the Schnauzer’s hair with your right hand and take advantage of the situation to pluck the hair. The key point is that the hair must be uprooted. This will stimulate the hair follicles, thereby growing thicker bristle hairs. Grab Xiaoxue's skin with your left hand on your back to avoid the dog's resistance.
In the first week, only the flexion and depression of the Schnauzer's backline were pruned. In the second week, it started from the lower end of the skull and expanded behind the shoulder blades to the abdomen, back, thighs, etc., and the bones The bumps must be kept and pulled out once a week, so that the Schnauzer's back hair can grow back and the backline becomes smoother and more streamlined; in the third week, pull down along the ears to the front feet; in the fourth week, remove the neck , head hair.
3. Wait 4-5 weeks after the Schnauzer's new fur grows out. After plucking, the fine undercoat at the bottom will grow first. At this time, you can patiently plucking it out one by one. Keeping the coarse hair close to the skin is equivalent to the long-lasting hair, and the entire process of plucking is completed at this time.
After treating the new fine hair of your Schnauzer, the new hair will grow back immediately. Therefore, from now on, do not wash the dog's back hair. Only wash the dog's face, hands, feet, abdomen and other parts of the bath. Because ordinary shampoo will destroy the hardness of the new hair with water, the new hair will become soft and docile due to water. If the hair has just grown out and the Schnauzer's back hair is dirty or needs cleaning, the only way to do this is to use scouring water specially designed for hard bristles.
After the hair has just grown, excessive shaving is a must before bathing the Schnauzer. Because as the fine hair grows, it will stretch the tightness of the new hair and damage the conformity of the Schnauzer's back hair. Therefore, you need to use a razor to scrape off the fine hair.
