No blood so far, and Yorkies are tolerating it fairly well. My smallest Yorkie has been diagnosed with collapsing trachea, so I can't risk the aggitation of having professionally groomed any more -- not even in the mobile grooming truck. I 'towel' him after his bath -- wrap in such that only one leg is exposed and lay him on his back on the bathroom counter. It seems to befuddle him enough that I can get one foot done at a time before he gets restless. I can't believe they're still able to sell those "quick finder" clippers. But then, I bought them, so hey....

Yeah, I pretty much decided not to buy these. Maybe good for a calm pup but Tuffy is far from that. LOL
It's funny you mentioned how you wrap your pup...I thought about buying a cat bag made for bathing with zippers for their legs. Happy to say Tuffy has calmed down & let's me trim his nails now. Guess he finally figured out momma wasn't gonna give in!
