Just remember, the higher the # of the blade, the closer the cut. I think a #40 is a surgical length cut(used by vets before surgery), and a #10 is an all around short body cut. The 5/8 blade is a small blade perfect for ears, butts and feet. I use this size on my show dogs ears and scissor the feet. The Whals Peanut is handy as it is rechargable and I can do a quick fix at the show. I also got my grooming table and ring-side table at Ryans. (No, I dont work there!LOL) Also my Oster stand dryer too. Good luck!!! Its just nicer to groom at home for you and your dog.
Is it Ryanspet.com that you are referring to? Do you have to be a professional groomer or do they sell to the public?
Thank You for explaining about the blades, because that was confusing me!
I was reading the sticky at the top about grooming and it says if you keep a Yorkie in a shorter cut, you should maybe leave to the professionals!
I was starting to feel encouraged after watching all of Marci's videos, so that made me a little nervous!
Thanks!
