Trimming a Jack Russell Terrier with your own hands. ​Grooming Jack Russell Terrier: professional tips. Caring for your ears, eyes and teeth

Standard Jack Russell Terrier haircut

The Jack Russell Terrier does not need to be clipped. Such dogs are trimmed. Trimming is a procedure of forced shedding. That is, the wool is sort of plucked (that which has already grown back), and not cut off. Trimming procedures are sufficient 2-3 times a year. The wool “ripens” once every four months, and the coarse hairs begin to resemble long stubble. The standard grooming procedure itself is painless for the dog. Trimming must be done before washing your pet. Because after water and shampoo, the wool will be softer and difficult to pluck. Also, the standard haircut is complemented by trimming the nails.

Only for "Jack Russelmaniacs". This is important to know!

Now this breed has become almost the most popular in the world; among our clients there are countless “Jack Russell lovers” and friends who are ready to purchase such a puppy. We are sure you will be interested to know: what is the care of a Jack Russell Terrier and what is the most relevant haircut for a Jack Russell Terrier!

These dogs are divided into short-haired and wire-haired. If you have a short-haired Jack Russell, caring for him is simpler - you need to comb his fur with a furminator during shedding (twice a year), take care of long nails, ear hygiene, clean teeth and shave his paw pads to protect them from the reagent in winter, and in summer from inflorescences sticking to the fur.

If you follow these simple hygiene rules and bring your baby to the salon twice a year, he will always look perfect! And experienced groomers will always tell you which procedure is best for trimming, or whether grooming dogs of a given breed is also suitable.

For the wire-haired breed, we have prepared trimming + partial haircut procedures for the Jack Russell Terrier. Maturing once every four months, your pet’s coarse coat seems to be asking to free the body from coarse hairs sticking out in different directions, reminiscent of long stubble.

This is a painless seasonal procedure that is performed manually by a professional groomer, plucking mature hairs along the entire contour, leaving a smooth and even layer of neatly lying fur.

If you do not plan to participate in exhibitions and natural rigidity is not important to you, then a haircut will suit the Jack Russell breed, which will replace trimming in home (non-show) care. But keep in mind the fact that if you don’t pluck the fur, it may become softer.

Model Jack Russell Terrier haircut

Model haircuts are performed if the dog is a show class dog. That is, he visits and participates in exhibitions, competitions, competitions. A model haircut implies an original approach and creativity in the dog's image. Since a pet model should be simply charming. Model haircuts are also performed in cases of social parties, if the owner takes the pet with him. For Jack Russell Terriers, such haircuts are done on the head (shortening the coat) and tail. Model or exhibition haircuts differ from others in cost, i.e. are more expensive.

No stress from trips to the salon. A hygienic haircut can also be done at home 1-2 times every three to four months.

If a dog owner invites a specialist to his home, this is the cheapest, easiest way to get his pet in order.

Why you need to trim

Jack Russell Terrier trimming is an artificial shedding procedure that is important for wire-haired representatives of the breed. Unlike smooth-haired individuals, whose hair periodically falls out, in “stiff-haired” and brocken individuals, dead hair shafts remain on the body. This can create a lot of problems. If in natural conditions animals with no shedding know how to get rid of necrotic hairs on their own, then pedigree animals should be helped in this by humans.

The need for this is determined by the following arguments:

• for an elite dog with a pedigree, the quality of the coat and neat appearance are compliance with the requirements of the standard and a “calling card” when participating in exhibitions;
• dead hair remaining on the body weighs down the hair of a hunting dog, which should be active, light and energetic;
• excess hairs interfere with the growth of young fur and pose a threat to the health of the animal, since they prevent the flow of air to the epidermis - this can cause dermatological diseases and allergies.

If there is constant irritation due to lack of proper care, the dog may also become ill with infectious diseases. Therefore, dog handlers, who are well acquainted with such troubles in terriers, recommend regular grooming, which includes all types of skin treatment and additional hygiene procedures to ensure the health and well-groomed appearance of the Jack Russell.

How to trim a dog?

So, we have decided that any wire-haired terrier needs trimming, now we are faced with the question of how and where to do it.

There are two options - find a professional groomer (a specialist in caring for animal hair) or learn how to pluck your dog yourself.

Let's start with the first option.

Grooming is a fairly common profession these days. It can be found both on ad sites and in pet salons, of which quite a few have been opening recently. The only question is that when turning to an unfamiliar specialist, you cannot be sure of his professionalism.

The most reliable way to look for a groomer is based on reviews among breed friends. If you just got a dog and you don’t have such friends, go to the Internet, to breed communities on social networks or on forums, they will definitely give you advice and help.

Option two

– learn to pinch a dog yourself. This option is suitable for those who carry out hygienic grooming for non-show dogs, that is, they remove all the pet’s fur once every 5-6 months, and for owners of show dogs who keep their pets in rolling sessions - after all, you don’t go to the grooming salon every week.

You can learn for free from videos on YouTube, articles on the Internet, or for a fee at master classes that are regularly conducted by professional groomers.

Which method to choose is up to you. Below we will post a video of hygienic trimming of a Jack Russell Terrier at home:

I hope we have answered most of the questions you had about grooming your Jack Russell Terrier. If you still have them, be sure to write to us in the comments and we will try to help you.

Like many other breeds of hunting dogs, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in England in the 19th century. The name of the breed comes from the name of its breeder. Jack Russell sought to develop a new breed of hunting dog that would be ideal for hunting foxes, hares, raccoons and other small animals. The Jack Russell Terrier was excellent at smoking animals out of their holes; its small size allowed it to easily penetrate the lair of almost any animal. Another serious advantage of the breed is its excellent sense of smell, which allowed it to track down any animal. The Jack Russell Terrier is also very skilled at collecting waterfowl.

Grooming

The Jack Russell Terrier comes in both short-haired and long-haired varieties. Caring for these varieties is somewhat different. Caring for the coat of a shorthaired terrier does not require much effort. However, your pet still requires regular brushing, approximately once a week. Without regular brushing, dead hairs, dust and dirt will linger in the animal's fur for a long time, which can lead to skin inflammation. To comb out, use a brush with soft teeth, such as rubber or bristles.

Thanks to the Jack Russell Terrier's short coat, it can only be bathed a couple of times a year. More frequent bathing can lead to a decrease in the dog’s immunity, because during water procedures the protective fat layer is washed off from the terrier’s skin and coat. Therefore, the dog should be bathed again only if it is heavily soiled. Caring for long-haired terriers is not fundamentally different from caring for their short-haired counterparts. Animals with longer coats require greater frequency of grooming procedures.
