The Andis 2 speed is the best as far as I am concerned, they have different blades which gives you the cut you desire. A skip tooth blade works easier on dense fur than a finishing blade, the higher the blade number the shorter the cut. I used to use a 5/8 blade which gives them a long shag look, the cutting became too often, I then moved to a 4 skip tooth, still too often, now we use a 7 skip tooth and that works perfect for us as they only have to be cut every 3 months, I always scissored their faces as I do their legs too. They have a video out _The Dog Grooming Video_ (http://www.mjmcompany.com/HaircutsVideo.htm) which has helped me ten fold, seeing is much better than reading, shows how to do the face, the legs, plucking the ears. Each haircut becomes easier as you go on. My husband usually does their bodies and I do their heads and legs, under belly I use a 10 blade as I like that cut short.

My husband is convienced that he’s going to learn to groom her himself. Probably no issues if we shave her body down, but that cute little face, needs hand trimming…..of course…having the right type of trimmer would be helpful. ~~ Susan ~~ & The Poo Gang Mikey, Buffy, Amy & Lacey ~~~ "When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long." -- Unknown **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
