I have a VERY thick, rough coat Great Pyrenees. Will this clipper work for his hair. I don't want to shave him down, just keep him under control.

Yes im a groomer for 19 yrs I only use this clipper it would last you a long time

I'm not for sure. It works really good for thick poodle hair. It doesn't have any combs for different lengths. I shave my dog pretty short so it works great.

This is a very good clipper. It will depend on the blade that you purchase. If you get a skip tooth, it will go through coarse hair better than the FC type which stands for Finished Cut and will still look nice. So just read the description on how long the blades will leave the hair to make your decision on what blade to purchase.

That's exactly what I do with our Brittany, keep his wavy dense coat under control. I Do a sort of hunter cut with his belly shorter since he is out running in the brush & weeds a lot. He is not as heavy coated as a Great Pyrennes.

It worked well on our Aussie. She also has a lot of hair. We use the attachments, blue and sold separate. It makes for a nice hair cute. We did a winter hair cut also.

I'm sorry, we have a standard poodle and it seems to work well on her. I think the thought of one of the other clipper users is best, to go to a groomer who works with cats for a suggestion.

I'm very happy with the 6-blade and think it work fine on a Pomeranian. The spacing of the blades is good. Perhaps if a smaller version was available with the same spacing it might be better. As always, on grooming issues, check with the breeder if possible, as they would know best.

I would say yes. we have 4 miniature Schnauzers and use this clipper and it works great. All clippers will get hot which irritates the animal so take breaks and switch to trimming with other things such as a mini clipper or scissors to allow the larger clipper to cool off or try using a wash cloth with ice to cool the blades. As with anything that uses a shearing action to cut the faster it goes the more heat from friction is produced so keep that in mind.

my dog's hair ranges a little less than 1 inch and it works fine with him. but he is still puppy and 7 pounds. I think you'd better got with large one.

The same as a regular clipper, I have 3 of these and use them all day every day. What kind of dog do you have? I am a pet groomer!! They are great clippers!!

Diane, This will work on a Westie (what a beautiful doggie), you need to patiently learn how to use this awesome tool! The blades have a rouded end so it does not dig into the dogs skin, and there are 10 of them, so it is like using a comb only this comb cuts through the hair. I use mine on a cocker and it does a great job. Use it often and you won't need to work hard at all. I hope I answered your question. Have a blessed day!

The brush is big enough for the large breed dog, but not for the short hair one which I have. This W6110 grooming rake will not rake the under coat of the dog, it just kind bush the hair.

They do (as per the picture, I'm pretty sure I have the same clipper, but might be an older model as I've had them a bit over a year), but they're very tight. I almost returned them because I couldn't get them on. Took them to my local groomer and she got it on. Basically, put it on opposite from how the directions say (ie. starting in back versus front, or vice versa). I use them on my goats. It has a hard time with the undercoat, but it works. I dont think either of those dog breeds are typically double-coated... so it should work fine. It works great on coarse goat hair... just has trouble with the downy fluff - but seems all clippers struggle with that.

I think it might be a bit large for a Pomeranian weighing 4 pounds....may be a bit too wide. I have a Great Pyrenees that I use it on and do have a friend with a rough-haired Collie who is much smaller than my dog but the Collie loves being brushed with this.

Thats exactly what I bought it for and it works perfectly! The only thing is you have be very careful because you can easily cut your pet. If you go nice and smooth you will not have any issues. I use this to shave my dog and then I use normal clippers to do the finish work around the face and paws. This clipper is loud and a bit heavy but I havent had any trouble using it.

Yes, this is a great clipper for a Labradoodle. I'm a professional groomer and I use this one every day because it is light weight and runs at various speeds. I would suggest though if your using the higher speeds, to also buy a spray coolant for the blade because it will get hot during use. I hope this helps. Happy grooming :)

My mother has this exact clipper (hence why I purchased it), hers is 30 years old, and still works like a charm. However, mine does not cut my dog's hair like hers cuts his. He is a miniature schnauzer, but his hair seems more frizzy and fine. My personal opinion would be that it would not be worth the money for a longer haired dog as there are not any guarantees that it will fair well. By all means, I may be wrong, but I wish I had saved my money.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

The clipper and blades are terrific! I used the number 10 for close and the 4F for a longer length and 15 for the face , nose and eyes. I had 2 # 10's as the blades get hot, I would cool them in the blade wash. These are powerful enough to go through matts. My dog was a lahasa apso and poodle mix. He had a very thick coat and undercoat. These blades work very well, you just need to figure out what size you want and maybe order 2 of one kind and a couple of other sizes, so you can keep clipping, because they do get hot.

I have a dog who gets very matted and we use it on him. We brush a little and then use the clipper, brush some more and clip. it takes a while but it works.

Both my yorkies have really fine hair, and it works very well. I don't have experience with other clippers, but I've noticed you have to cut the same area a few times and in different directions to get it really straight, specially when using those spacers thingies :)
