Coat-care basics
Wire coats are supposed to feel rugged. Creamy shampoos and heavy conditioners leave residue that softens the jacket into something that looks unkempt, not plush. If a bottle says silky, detangle-plus-moisture, or 2-in-1 cream, it is the wrong bottle.

Common problem areas

Weekly grooming routine
- 01
Victoria brush through the jacket
Firm, with the coat. Lift dead wire, do not polish it smooth.
- 02
Boar + nylon, then comb
Furnishings next. Comb until nothing comes out.
- 03
Salon for furnish or hand-strip
Clipping the jacket is sometimes necessary. It is not the first choice if you care about texture.

Step-by-step brushing instructions
- 01
Jacket first
Victoria brush, 20mm extra-thick pins, with the coat.
- 02
Furnishings second
Boar + nylon, then medium comb, then wide comb.

Brush-and-comb method
Brush, then comb, then stop when the comb is empty. Between salon visits your job is cleanliness and dead-hair removal, not restyling.

Bath-day guide
- 01
Crisp Coat Shampoo
Never a creamy 2-in-1. Work it to the skin. Rinse thoroughly.
- 02
Protein conditioner, then rinse again
This is not leave-in. The coat should feel clean-harsh, not slippery.

Prevention checklist
- No moisturizing shampoo on this dog
- Conditioner is rinsed completely
- Comb is empty at the end of the session
