So far I actually prefer scissor clipping her everywhere, my husband is more comfortable with the clippers, so just depends who is doing it.

I would like to hear the suggestions for the ear hair. I have tried to pull Eva's ear hair out...I think her ear might come off first LOL. The hair won't budge and she doesn't even yelp! Do I need to grip less in my fingers? It is not slipping, just not moving at all?? She is 1/2 Maltese so do their ear hairs not come out???Anyone familiar with this?

Oh for nails, I do about a millimetre off every week and a half to two weeks.
I just pull a few hairs at a time. They usually don't have that much hair in their ears. Instead of yanking it straight out, I usually kind of turn my fingers and it pulls out easily. That is what has worked best for me. I am scared to death to clip nails though and Teddy Bear's nails grow like weeds.
