staffie coat stripping

hi, wondering if anyone can help, i've been told that my staffie needs his coat stripping i'm not quite sure what i need to use to do it, as the people in the pet shop said that strippers can't be used on short haired dogs.
does anyone on here strip there staffies coat and if so could you let me know what you use to do it
thanks

There's no need to strip a staffy, a good brush will do!

Staffys are very shorthaired dogs and other than the occasional bath and a good brushing need nothing else done to their coat to prepare them for the ring.
Was this a staffy only ringcraft? I would be quite surprised that *anyone* in the staffyworld would give such advice?

Are you sure they didnt mention trimming just the tail?

I have never heard of a Staffie being handstripped. Stripping is only done if a dog is unable to moult naturally, like in many wire coated breeds. Also I was under the impression that Staffies don't have an undercoat, so if you stripped a staffie you would end up with a bald dog. Staffyman, I would go with Lels advice, bath and a good brush . Good Luck with the showing .
