HI! When someone asks for that length on a puppy cut I do one of two things. If the puppy is calm and used to being groomed I do a hand scissored cut. If it is squirmy and playful, then it is not going to stand while I do a scissored cut. So I use a #3 or #4 blade on my A5 clippers. I'm not sure what comb that would be, but with proffessional A5 clippers different blades are different lengths. The blade actually glides along the skin. That makes the cut a whole lot smooother than trying to use the attachable combs. A5 clippers are more expensive, but are well worth the money! Hope this helps! Jessica
