Handstripping is a process where the dead outer coat of wire haired and rough coated breeds is pulled out by hand rather than cutting the hair with clippers. A new coarse wire coat will then grow back. 

 

For spaniels, the softer, dead undercoat is stripped so the silky coat can lay flat and smooth. 

​

When done correctly the stripping of the coat is not painful to the dog at all and produces a beautiful finish.
