poodle3081 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you are after a #7 blade then this kit is ideal My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisymina Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Not hard as such. I'm enjoying the experience learning, but let's say it is just as well I'm not clipping a show dog. :laugh: Sometimes I do better than others. *shrug* Better than nothing - which is what some poor dogs get.

ChewieTAG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Try www.clipperworld.com.au for the clippers. They are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Okay would the Wahl KM2 be good? With an additional #7 blade?

halfthewords Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yep, it'll sure as heck save you money in the future if you decide you want to do them yourself! I do Carl (terrier x) and Jag (Bichon) at home every 6-8 weeks, or whenever their hair starts bugging me. :laugh: I bought a Wahl set a few years ago, and then switched to Andis ACG two-speed earlier this year. I'm lucky in that I learned to do a decent clip on Carl, and he happily rolls over onto his back to let me clip his legs/belly and is very pliable. I do a #10 all over on them both, apart from tails/face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Always brush & comb out the whole coat completely & make sure there are no knots in it before you bath. Then you clip after the bath. The coat must be completely dry to clip. Unless the dog has bad matts, then you clip them out, then bath. You can clip a dirty dog but then you need to bath it & clip it again for a good finish. Edited January 10, 2013 by Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Okay that's what I thought, thanks! :) Luckily she doesn't really matt, even when in full coat with minimal brushing, just the odd one around her ears. Maybe I'll just get the KM2 which comes with a #10 and get the #7 later if I need it. Now I just need her coat to grow back some more so I can practice. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
