what size blade do i need to leave my dogs hair 1and1half inches long or longer

None of the oster blades will leave 1' 1/2" or longer. However, u can buy a universal adapter guard that fits on the oster blade giving u the desired length. This is the way to go because you get your desired length, without sacrificing the quality of the cut. Everyone who uses the oster clippers and blades know the quality of the cut is second to none!!! Do an internet search for the universal adapter compatible with you model and blade of oster, and you will not be disappointed!!!! Hope that helps

A size 4 leaves poodle hair about 1-1.5 inches. A 7 leaves hair about 1/4 inch.

The Oster website has an awesome chart for dog breeds and different types of cuts with the corresponding blades to use for each. I would personally use a 5 with a cutting guard...the smaller the number the longer the hair.

You will need to look closely at the postings. They have many different blades in many different depths/lengths. For example the standard blade most often used (to shave a dog, or if you just want a "Military Look") is the #10 blade that cuts to 1.5mm (1/16"). I use it on my dogs but wanted a bit more length for my own hair, so 5FC cuts to 6.3mm (1/4") and 4FC cuts to 9.5 mm (3/8") length. The info is in all the ones I looked at so far, but you do have to look around some and enlarging the picture can help because its printed on the actual blades in mm's the English conversions can take a bit more work ;-) You will need to look closely at the postings.

It depends on how thick the Chow's hair is, and if it has bad mats or not. If good condition, then a 4F or 3 3/4 F Andis blade would be a good length.

The blade looks to be about inch or so. I use it on my chines crested face and it is perfect size. I have bought 2 of these and love it, it is quiet does not get hot and shaves my hairy hairless perfectly and fast. It is also cordless and the charge last forever.

I think i saw a blade that leaves 1/2". That would probably work. That blade that comes with it leaves about 1/4" or less.

My dog's hair was almost 3 inches long and very matted when I cut her. I used a #10 ultra-edge blade and it did fabulous! I have to mention though that I cut her down very close to the body since I didn't want to have to cut her again for quite some time. If you are only wanting to trim it down just a bit, I don't know if the #10 would work the same since I haven't tried it myself. I hope this helps!

You fit the comb, whichever size comb you want for the length of hair you desire, over a #30 blade on your clippers. I use a #30 blade because of it's sharpness. Technically, it doesn't matter what size the blade is because the combs determine the hair length, but a #30 is more effective when used with combs.

The size is for Leigh of hair 10 is nearly to skin. If you don't have a lot of experience in grooming don't use these you can burn the dog skin real easy use a 7 it's leaves the hair a little longer but it's safer the the dog

Robert, the 7FC is 3/8 inch, perfect for my poodles in the summer. Size 10 is the shortest one I use for faces, feet and tail of my poodles but you can go as short as a 40 which is "shaved." The larger the number the shorter it will cut the hair. If you look at the different blades, the length should be given for each one. The CeramicEdge is supposed to stay cooler longer, but to be honest, I can't tell a difference between it and the regular stainless blade, and I think the stainless ones cut better. I do like the Andis clipper. It is fairly light weight and changing the blades is a snap. (This site gives the length and usages for each of the different blades: https://www.andis.com/download/allBlades_chart.pdf Hope that helps.)

We use 4F and 7 on longer hair dogs. A number 7 or 7F is as close as you want to get with a shepherd. Make sure you have Blade Wash to cool and clean the blades. Blades stay sharper longer with Blade Wash

The clippers are good. But I wouldn't know what number blade you would want. I use the 7 for my setter/chessie mix (dog) who has a double coat. You could ask a groomer for advice on that one.

Yes - you can use different blade attachments depending on length of hair you want on dog's body - e.g. I have fur on legs longer so use a different blade attachment.

First I must ask if you have ever groomed a dog? Second, if your dog is matted, a #10 or #7F are good blades to use. If your dog is badly matted, you first have to make a space for the blade to get between the matt and the skin being careful not to cut the dog. DO NOT bathe the dog before clipping as it will make the matts worse and the hair will take hours to dry. This will take a while to do because you have to be very careful. I would not use a ceramic blade, the non-ceramic blades are just as good. I hope I have been some help to you and please feel free to ask about anything that is not clear to you.

I have the long hair version. It's about 7". I asked that question at the Pet Store and I was told not much. My dog has long and what I loved about it is it also gets the undercoat beside the top coat. I live in So. Texas where it get really hot and she is so much happier. I hope this helps.

The beard blade is 1.25" in. (1 1/4 in.). I meanly use it for beard trimming. I'll meassure the body grooming part and let you know but I don't believe it's much bigger than 2" inch.

This is an adjustable blade. It shaves from a very close shave to a shave that is about 1/4" long. You should be able to get many hours of grooming with this blade as long as you keep your blades clean. Here's a video on how to clean and maintain your blades.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DJ78YSMHGY.

What number blade are you looking for? I ordered the #5 blade and had to return it as it too didn't fit. I haven't re-ordered yet, but will say this that the #10 blade that came with the set was no longer sharp for when I cut my dogs hair for the second time. I have a Shih Tzu who's hair was never beyond an inch and always groomed no knots...so there should be no excuse for that. I now need to get another #10, but not sure if I should invest more money in these clippers as I don't find they have much power to them.
