Dog Grooming Professional - Qp11

The best way to groom a wirehaired dog is by plucking out any unruly hairs using your fingers or a stripping knife. This is because wirehaired dogs have a coarse and dense coat that requires hand-stripping to maintain its texture and appearance. Using fingers allows for a more precise and controlled plucking of individual hairs, ensuring that the dog's coat remains neat and tidy. A stripping knife can also be used for larger areas or to remove dead hair. Using a brush or comb would not be as effective in grooming a wirehaired dog.

The correct answer is Border Terrier, Irish Terrier, and Brussels Griffon. These breeds are all examples of wirehaired breeds. Wirehaired breeds are characterized by their coarse and wiry fur, which requires regular grooming to maintain its texture. Border Terriers, Irish Terriers, and Brussels Griffons all have this distinct wirehaired coat, making them suitable examples of common wirehaired breeds.

The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon should have a natural looking coat that seems unkempt and medium in length. This means that the dog's coat should not be overly groomed or styled, but rather have a slightly messy appearance. Additionally, the coat should be of medium length, not too short or too long. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

A cylindrical head terrier will not necessarily have a long, square, angular beard and protruding eyebrows. The characteristics of a terrier's beard and eyebrows are not determined by the shape of its head. Therefore, the statement is false.

Wire coats are a specific type of coat found in certain dog breeds. Unlike the coats of most other dogs, wire coats are not soft and silky. This is a characteristic feature of wire coats and sets them apart from other types of coats. Therefore, the statement that wire coats are not supposed to be soft and silky is true.

Toy breeds should not be kept natural and shaped, and they are not easy to hand-strip.
