Thanks for links! I didn't see the Master GRooming one when I did my original search. Thats a much better price.
In the Yorkie grooming DVD that I watched, the woman used the curved shears for most of the shearing work. she used it to round the face, around the paws, as well as for the skirt.
Since I am a newbie groomer here, what type of shears are you supposed to use where? It seems like there are so many choices from straight to curved to comb/blending shears. What do you use? What are "trimming" shears? Are those another type of shear?
My adult yorkie, Belle, has a long coat. Its not all the way to the floor but more like 3/4 length. What would you use to trim/shape a coat like that?

Thanks so much for the info. My first official full groom attempt will be this coming weekend My little Belle will be my first grooming guinea pig good thing we decided to do our family picture this past weekend so no worries if my first shot turns out a little goofy.
