If you have to shave a mat out of an armpit use the #10. Now that I think of it, I don't think I would ever use any length skip blade on a yorkie, so unless you also have some bigger thick coated dog you need to shave, I would just put the skip blades away. |
Thanks for the advice. I used the 7 skip on my mini schnauzer. I would never use it on my little furbabies. I also didn't use it on the legs or armpits - I used my mini clipper for that cause I was afraid of hurting her! So, I'm glad I did it right...
I'm even more glad I didn't cut her. I just have to finish up her ears now...
thanks,
