Will this work on a long haired Angora fur goat? What blade do you recommend?

It may, but I would recommend a sheep shears/clippers they are bigger and will not get overworked, and it will not take as long to do the job. If you decide to use this on the goat, you will need a 10 blade or a 5 and kool lube spray as the blade will get extremely hot and without using the spray you may burn your goat. Hope this helps!

Yes. You won't have any problems whatsoever. Buy the no# 10 blade. I love this trimmer. Perfect for my cat and my two dogs.

Hi Jayme - I also have a Pyr but I purchased this clipper to cut mats off of my 2 Newfoundland's. If you are wanting to shave the pyr's entire coat, I'm not confident it will do the job. It might, but it's iffy. It should be good for spot clipping which is what I use it for. I have tried to use it off a "monster" mat but the clipper stalled out. Had to get out the scissors to finish the job.

I just saw a grooming thread on a great Pyr website that recommends a 20-22 blade. I haven't tried it yet, am looking like you.

I have a Husky which is a long hair dog. I bought the Fur deshedder for long hair. The one you are asking about I have not used. It is for short hair. I would go with the short hair since great Danes are short hair. I am sure the blades are different.

It will cut the hair and the blades can even be replaced but it also gets rids of tons of the dead hair. It's one of my favorite tools for using on my Havanese's coat. Their coats are high maintenance. Hope this helps.

That would depend on the cut you wish to give the cat. The higher number the blade the less amount of fur will be left on the cat.

I would think if the fur isn't too thick or too matted, it should work. The cutting surface is not terribly wide (it is, after all, designed for a human face) but if you're not shaving the entire dog I think it should be fine. The motor power is definitely there. Good luck and thank you for rescuing!

I use it on my Aussies, I have used cattle blowers before and its like running 1 motor on the 2 motor cattle blower. Not sure it would be enough power for goats.

I would NOT advise it. I have a Teddybear Shichon and it will not cut through his hair. It is going to take a much more powerful and more expensive clipper. I wish I had NOT purchased this one. It is difficult to master I would imagine with a very good one---but this one is impossible. I am rethinking this because of my try. There are many other things needed like controle loop to keep them in position and good place for them to safely stand. Plus, it is time consuming for unskilled folks. I took about 4 hours and still was not happy with the results. Most had to be done with scissors. I would not recommend these for dog with thick hair.

It would totally do that. And it's safe because the blades never touch skin. I cut the back of my own hair with it just using it like a comb, so i bet it would work really well on a cat. A furminator is better for long haired cat grooming but way more expensive. This would work. :)

Im not sure about the length guards but you can buy different size blades to suit the length of fur you want.

I would go for a smaller trimmer version, this one is more suited for clipping the body just b/c of the width of the blade. I have a giant schnauzer with huge feet and it was wider than I would like to trim his feet just b/c it was hard to get the blade head between his pads.

I would think this would work great on a dog! My horse has very thick hair and it cut through like butter.

I would think it definitely would work on dairy goats. I bought it to use on my Dexter cow, and it does a great job. I'll see if I can post a photo of her udder on the review I did so you can compare, but I'm betting she has lots more hair than your goats do! :)

Yes and no. I have a German Shepard, and the clippers work on him. That being said it's a progressive task. Go straight to a short attachment and they'll get stuck in the long hair. If you take it once around with a comb about half of the desired overall length and then again with the shortest comb you want to use in the end, it'll work just fine. If you're pressed for time get something worth a stronger motor. If not, save the cash and buy this one.

I have done my pugs a peke and a maltese. The blade gives out pretty quickly though.
