It can be rarely said about a terrier species that it is not trimmed. However, the soft, thick and wavy hair of the Kerry Blue Terrier has to be shaved. It is interesting that all of these species are born with black colored skin and when they are about two years old their fur will have a characteristic blue shade. In spite of the fact that it is not trimmed, but it is cut with scissors, the characteristic terrier form has to be kept. During cosmetic treatment first, the fur has to be thoroughly disentangled, with removing each knot. After bathing, drying is done during continuous brushing. The front of the dog is shaved from the breastbone up to the stem of the ears with a machine, the same way as they shave the skull top, the ears, the sides of the skull and the bottom part of the face-nose part, with paying attention to the beard. They usually shave not only around the anus, but they used to shave a strip below it also and they used to shave the bottom edge of the tails as well. The hair is merged at the rest of the parts of the body with scissors, and thus they form the neck, the body, the column-like legs the way that is characteristic of the terrier style.
