SHIH TZU's HAIR's
satrio item

by: Maria Laaksonen, Ta Maria Kennel, Rymättylä, Finland
ImageShit tzu is an interesting little dog, a wonderful expression of dimahkotakan by long hair and beautiful. Often you hear people thinking how much attention, difficulty and time on her hair. And also many common questions about why there are some shih tzu has a long and shiny hair while others are more like a messy brush. Beautiful long fur is not a mystery, a solution that requires adequate education. Basic styling successful shih tzu is a simple, routine and accuracy. So the first thing to do is to learn regularly and invest in training a puppy. In this way many problems can be avoided.
How do I get started?
ImageSangat important to make the puppy used to the styling. Hair on the puppy only takes a few minutes, but a few minutes is very important for the future. Often the puppy will not silence her hair styled at the time, but it does not mean that this puppy can not be trained. Shih tzu is a smart dog with the help of a routine exercise, shih tzu will learn about basic hair quickly.
Suggested training hair and sat in silence after the puppy play. In this way, the pup will be calmer and more manageable. A puppy should be socialized to be treated in the same place and always recommended in the table, so owners do not have to kneel. The desk does not need specially designed for trimming. What type of table can also muscular origin flat surface so the puppy will feel safer to sit or stand straight.
At the time the puppy is sitting quietly, comb his hair with a brush or comb. Use your other hand holding the puppy gently but not too strong pengangan. Shih tzu is not only smart, he was also brave and he would rush down despite the high desk. Therefore do not leave him alone at the table. Comb in the head and mustache slowly. At the age of 4 months, the hair on the forehead would be long enough for the ponytail. This also needs to be trained since childhood.
Another is to train the puppy to lie on her side on the table. This will make Keahlihan hair care easier in the future when an adult dog and also have long hair. You can start by teaching your puppy to sleep / resting on your lap while combing his paw feet. When your puppy want to run away, do not give up until she was calm. When training is successful, you can start teaching at the table. Put a towel on the table and then put the puppy on it. Hold your dog with one hand and the hair with his other hand. Better not ask others to hold the puppy with both hands because it will make it feel less reassured. The puppy will think "Now they're holding me tight me, what they would do to me". The point is to slowly loosen the handle after the dog was still and quiet for a while. In this way, your puppy will learn to relax and understand that this is not a big affair. Not only she can lie on the table while and arranged her hair, she can also sleep for a while.
It is important that regular hair care are considered to be a good event for owners and their dogs. If not, it's easy to dodge them all. One good example, a wealthy mother who has a good dog hair. But the mother had argued that the styling was a hard job. I am surprised, but after visiting his home, the reason is clear. Her home beautiful and luxurious, but where the table is used for grooming? The table was placed in the cellar near the laundry room. Although employment conducted by the house servants usually have a low priority, this does not mean not in accordance with your dog's hair.
What a mistake that can happen?
Many times, I doubted how many people who fail in shih tzu's hair and they told me that these jobs are not wearing. I conclude that the basic styling is trust between dog and owner. Dogs must be able to believe that this procedure is not painful. You have to learn to straighten kusutan carefully, first with fingers then with a brush. Kusutan do not ever pulled a comb: it must be painful and no reason why dogs should undergo professional actions that are not. Thus the need patience kusutan smoothing. And also, do not let her hair severely matted that can be prevented by regular maintenance. Easy is not it? Until the age of 7-8 months, shih tzu hair easy to maintain. Through this age, is more difficult and can be startling for dogs and their owners. For puppies who are not familiar, better start from the beginning. That cut the matted hair and let his hair grow. Shih tzu hair takes a year to grow back. While hair grow, you can learn to care for the hair and train your dog as a puppy training. If possible, the hair on the head, tail and ears left alone because dibagian hair takes longer to grow.
Hairdressing equipment and cosmetics
Choosing hairdressing equipment is also very important. You do not need to collect brush and comb the lot for himself. Simply buy some quality equipment. Highly recommended to buy quality goods. Brushes and combs should also be cleaned and cared for so that more durable. The most important tool is a good brush. Brush the most suitable for shih tzu's hair is a brush bristle and nylon mixed brush. Brush is soft and most suitable for smoothing kusutan.
One example is the British-made Mason Pearson. Pearson brush seems expensive but will last longer in use. And possibly other brushes are not needed anymore. For a change, you can also try using a wire brush (pin brush) which is often used in finishing and grooming hair no kusutan. You also need a metal comb that is straight. Who have teeth and teeth tenuous meeting. Plastic comb with fine teeth (sharp) is usually required to make kunciran to show, but this comb can also be used to comb the mustache and the face. You will also need a pair of scissors / to finish trimming the hair around his legs and claws rubber band.
Grooming liquid used in the comb, for example Ring5 Gloss Coat is also a good product and can be purchased at the pet store. You also can mix yourself with water and liquid conditioners. Penncairan ratio depends on the conditioner, but usually one tablespoon to a half liter of water. Since the conditioner mixed with water can not be saved while it is advisable to mix the liquid in small portions. When choosing samphoo and conditioner, it is best to buy quality. A good conditioner is more important than a good shampoo. Conditioner on the market a lot less good enough for the shih tzu's hair and can lead to tangled easily. To save time and effort, it is advisable to use products that have proven very good for use. Examples of some suitable products include Vellus, Coat Hander, Biogrom, # 1 All Systems, Jean-Pierre Hery, KW and Summerwind.
Of some products mentioned above, which I prefer is the Coat Coat Conditioner of Handerle, KW Balsam Hair Care, Conditioner Concentrate Vellus and Protect-a-Coat-Oil Summerwind. I do not recommend using such a strong oil lanolin oil or mink oil. Summerwind oil light and when mixed with water can be used as groooming liquid to dry hair. Conditioner for hair shih tzu must be strong enough to be able to remain attached to the hair. Terbilas missing conditioner water is too light and therefore not suitable for shih tzu hair. A good shampoo products can be found from several kinds of them. For puppies, it is advisable to use mild shampoos, and better use of harsh shampoos that can make their hair dry.
Examples of good shampoo products are SuperWhite Biogroom (suitable for a white mustache and white paws), Protein Biogroom lanolin, Shampoo Concentrate Vellus dna Proten / Puppy KW.
How shih tzu's hair?
After the equipment already exists, hair will become easier. When her hair, is very important as a whole manata carefully and thoroughly. No rules for the order in terms of styling. The most important thing is learning hairdressing with always the same sequence. Thus, you are automatically set its entirety without any hair left part.
For example you start from the feet. Dog put to sleep on her side and began to set on the first leg and under, and past the sides and bottom of the neck and ears, every part of the layer per layer. After arranging a part, the same can be accomplished with metal comb to make sure nothing in the kusutan, the whole hair was good, bit by bit, hair by hair. Straightened hair until the skin is very important. This would be easier if done layer by layer. Sometimes you can see a dog that had been arranged neatly. Outside looks straight but if it is held, you will feel lumps in it - kusutan. To avoid mistakes like this, it is wise to learn to organize and check carefully to make sure no one wrinkle on the skin.
When the two sides have laid out, the dog can be established on the table and divide the hair in the middle along the spine. Then order the tail, the back and the hair eventually the neck, head and ears and create a new kunciran. You can complete the hair with a comb and at the same time also check kusutan in her hair. All of this can be done in reverse order. The most important thing is all to do with always the same order so that routine maintenance is developing well. And also styled the hair must not dry because it will raise electric static and can damage the hair. Hair liquid should always be used.
About kusutan
Shih tzu has two types of hair that is strong supporter of hair and hair smooth base. Kusutan may appear at the bottom hair down and mingled with supporters of hair. Tangled hair will be free and out of the arrangement and kusutan by using your fingers, especially if it was not left long kusutan wrinkled. Add long hair kusutan tight kusutannya added. Experienced hairdressers can estimate the age kusutan when he saw it. There are two days and there is also a two-week ...
If kusutan drawn with a comb or brush with a fine tooth / sharp, hair matted supporters will break down, and the results will be visible dog hair into a tousled and damaged. Kusutan formed especially the armpits, in the legs, behind the ears, neck and sides. In this area often overlooked easily. Remember your hair thoroughly. The first is Kusutan aged 8-10 months and for a female puppy, at the latest after the first breeding season. The puppy began to change the baby's hair into the hair up and basic hair will fall out and cause the wrinkle. The most difficult period will last until the age of two years, depending on the quality and amount of hair. Once free of the first two years, hair care adult shih tzu really easy.
Styling daily and weekly
As discussed above, the puppy should be accustomed to the styling to teach a little every day. At the time an adult dog, you do not have her hair done every day, because the hair too often can damage. Included in the daily styling is a new and checked kunciran ears and eyes. What is important is that his hair was hanging down in front of your dog's eyes and can see where he wants to go. Advised to consider hair every day and check if there are any in the kusutan. For a puppy that is changing the hair, the arrangement should be done in every two or three days, so that the loss of hair missing basic and do not form a large kusutan him. For adult dogs, pretty hair thoroughly once a week.
How many times for a bath?
Bathing is one important part of treatment shih tzu. How often, it depends on the dog out of the streets, in or out of town? in other words how fast their hair to be dirty. Hair washing is also important if you plan to come show your shih tzu. If so, a shower should be at least a week sekali.dan hair should not be organized without a bath. Hair Hygiene is very important because clean hair will make hair fall out and grow a little wrinkled.
Shih tzu can be washed if necessary, ie when he is dirty. Usually for children less often because ajing hair smaller than adult dogs.
However, puppies should be bathed at least two weeks so they get used to bathe. But if you want your shih tzu has a nice hair, should be bathed once a week and more often if you're hair replacement. I want to emphasize that to bathe weekly routine is not needed at all. For this type of dog should be bathed only when necessary. Or treated with styled hair regularly and thoroughly so that no kusutan emerging.
In bathing
Bathing is very pleasant, so leave enough time and relax. Grasp the puppy with a relaxed so that he will quickly learn to shut up. Big mistake often made is to bathe the puppy quickly and harshly so he learned to be afraid to take a shower. More positive and prepare yourself to be wet as well.
To bathe, buy a baby shower. Smoke detectors are most suitable to the foot baths or stand so that your back does not hurt. If you bathe in a bathtub or lincin surface, use a rubber mat so didasarnya dog more comfortable. You also need a shampoo and conditioner, and an additional bottle and place / one-liter container for dilution. You also need a mixer to dilute the shampoo and conditioner with a flat in the water.
First dilute the shampoo into the bottle or bucket. Check the comparison of the ratio of the instruction manual. Usually the ratio is the ratio of teaspoons to a quart of water. Begin by soaking the whole dog. Busakan hair on the back and legs straight back and rinsed. Do not let up kusutan that can arise from rubbing your hands, but the scatter of shampoo into hair with fingertips.
Their claws are usually dirty, so to wash you can wash two times. Then proceed to wash the bottom of his front paws and legs. And also remember to rinse shamponya. Basahkan dog again, continue to shoulder and spread the liquid shampoo to the sides and back. Remember to use downward motion, do not rub! Rinse. Finally, basahkan head again and wash the ear hair, mustache and chest forward.
Special attention needs to be noted in the mouth and nose, ears and eyes. When wetting the top of the head, put your hands in front of her to protect her and to ensure water flows into the neck and not to the eye. When wet whiskers, put a shower under the eye so that the flow of water is always far from the eyes. If mukannya very dirty, you can busakan twice in the whiskers and ears, too.
For very dirty dog, Disbursements shampoo into a quart bottle may not be enough and you may have to withdraw more shampoo. Conversely, if your dog is not so dirty, you can just wash the feet and the bottom and without clean up the rear at all. Most shampoos use can make hair dry. And shampoo should always be thawed only once because the shampoo is too strong and can damage the hair.
Then melt the conditioner into the bucket again and check the comparison of the ratio of the instruction manual. You should not be stingy with conditioners, and conditioners that should be left in the hair. If your dog has a lot of hair, you may need more conditioner than what is in the instruction manual.
Put your dog in the bathtub and pour a conditioner that has been disbursed to the dog. Spread this conditioner to the hair with a shower and at the same time fill the tub with water. Shower cap and let sit in the water dog conditionernya. Simultaneously it also pour water conditioner to the entire body. Do not hurry, let the conditioner work for a few minutes. Then you can let the water fall with a squeeze with his hand before the dog wrapped in a towel. If you look too much at the hair, you can rinse again before wrapping it with a towel. Conditioner is very important to stay in the hair because this conditioner will protect hair from kusutan, drought and damage.
Drying
Stay dog with a towel wrap, place a warm place and allow at least twenty minutes. For example you can be kept in your arms while watching TV. After that, replace it with a dry towel. You can wrap a blanket on it if your dog was cold. Drying with a towel very important because it will make the drying with a hair dryer easier and faster.
Very useful if you have a hair dryer. With this, you can use your two hands. When dry dog, dry the same overall styling time. Hairdo from blowing in the area of a hair dryer. Hair dryer must not too hot and burn skin and hair. During the drying time setting dog, you can feel the temperature of the air with your hands. Make systematic and checked all the hair become dry from root to tip. I myself always start to dry dog from the head. After the hair on the forehead area dry, I would collect hair and made kunciran. Low gust (low power) should be used when drying the head. Just like hair, is very important for the drying should be done with the same sequence. This way, you can learn this routine so that no parts are left wet.
Kunciran
You should start training makes possible time kunciran immediately began a long hair and can be clamped with tongs. One or two pegs enough for the puppy, but after his hair grow long and, more pins are needed to keep her hair so as not to the eye. Kunciran made for the home environment, and are advised to use rubber bands because they are soft and not too tight. And also mustache with tweezers should be installed so that the hair does not go into the mouth
Here you can see pictures of young shih tzu ponytail. Her hair is separated in the middle and pulled back with two pins. Last tongs turn to the side. Dibelokan mustache and also to the side. This is only a few variations of the model (hairdo). The most important thing is not terlaku tight hairdo. If your dog has long hair on the forehead, can be braided hairdo aside and will remain well formed. If you will follow the competition the next day, do not braid her hair for braids will make berkeriting curly hair. Left mustache attached grappling with two pins, the first pair of tongs to separate hair in the middle front, from the bottom corner of the eye to the nose and mouth slowly combed mustache before installing the pins. Then plug the other grappling with hair separated from the outer corner of the eye to the side of the mouth (see picture). Finally check the hair do not mess with his chin in his mustache so that pegs the dog can open his mouth properly.
Last words
With the addition of those discussed above, I can state that shih tzu's hair can be treated simply. Hair no value by itself and the shih tzu will feel okay with short hair. In many countries where the shih tzu became a popular pet, keep short hair is more the rule than the exception. But keep in mind that the shih tzu is a dog with long hair and short hair though, it still needs routine maintenance. If the dog sick, may be advisable to consider cutting his hair because the hair will hurt the dogs in conditions that are not good. In some cases, getting a haircut can make a mental dog two years younger.
