Sally Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I wouldn't cut the dogs nails with the hair cutting scissors. That would make them go blunt quickly I would think. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldiesRgr8Poodles2 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I like grip soft small nail clippers and Wahl scissors i use straight line, curved and thinning all wahl. But i can get them wholesale. Even wholesale the smallest pib-nosed scissors are still $24 ish so god knows how much places sell them on for!

shmoo Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) oh gosh i didnt realise you were cutting the hair AND nails with the same scissors! you will ruin any pair of scissors doing that. scissors are only for hair. eta: they also need to be sharpened, cleaned and oiled regularly.

Poodle wrangler Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I wouldn't cut the dogs nails with the hair cutting scissors. That would make them go blunt quickly I would think. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody. I thought the same thing, too ;). I'm guessing it's a typo- normal scissors wouldn't cut my dog's nails. I'd grind down dog's nails with a dremel or similar (e.g. Ozito)- http://homepages.udayton.edu/~merensjp/doberdawn/index.html. I use the same dremel on both a mini poodle and standard poodle, but lower the speed on the smaller dog. I also bought 7.5" scissors off http://www.freewebs.com/clipperbladesharpe...eningprices.htm and find they're good for 2 poodles. I clip their bodies and scissor head, legs and tail.

TeamSnag Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Nooooo im cuttin hair with scissors and useing nail clippers i would never do that.... i know what im doin when it comes to cutting nails and the hair just my scissors have gone blunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 ooooooh riiiiight. ;). I kind of got the wrong impression from your first post then. How much of your dog's hair do you cut with the scissors? I know of a lady who cuts her Maltese's hair with scissors only. My Maltese needs doing, but I'm thinking it would take a long time to do the whole dog with the scissors.

TeamSnag Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Sorry my bad i was tired when i posted... I cut the hair on top on his feet and in between his paws so not much but i got 3 dogs... The scissors i have were about $20 bucks but have gone blunt so i wouldnt mind payin a bit more and have them last longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 For the long daches & setters i use Wahl straight & wahl thinners. $20 scissors wouldnt do the job & wouldnt leave the desired finish required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I use Wahl straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree that they're expensive, but I just love mine. I have had them for at least 5 yrs and had them sharpened....ummm....once! ;) I'm not a full-time groomer but I used to do a few neighbourhood dogs and now I use them monthly on my Toller. Mel.

Rascalmyshadow Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If you want cheap scissors the Wahl scissors are quite good I use a curved pair to scissor feet etc. If you want really good scissors IMO Gators are the best but they are around $300 a pair.
