Clippers or Scissoring? 1 Attachment(s) I posted on the general forum but thought this may be a better location!! I'm in a pinch...Ozzy is going to get his first puppy cut saturday from his breeder. She is going to hand scissor because she doesn't have full size clippers. I'm so worried..I want him to have a proper puppy cut..about 1- 1 1/2" all around and his head needs to be cut short because we are not having a topnot. SO my question is can you get a clean puppy cut look with scissors? I'm going to eventually do his puppy cuts myself and I can get an Oster A5 from Petedge for $114 and get it by Thursday if I order today...I would bring it with me saturday and watch how it's done then do it myself next time..my husband thinks I'm in a panic and says not to worry..here is a picture of my little mop... what do you all think???? I'm so worried my Baby will look bad |
Scissoring is by far the best method, particularly as the coat grows out because it does not leave little frizzy ends that are often seen with clipper cuts. It can be much more expensive at commercial groomers which could be why so many owners settle for the clipper cuts. Scissoring gives a much cleaner, longer-lasting finish, when done by someone who knows how IMO. Besides if your breeder doesn't have large enough clippers then, perhaps, she has never performed a clippered puppy cut before. Why not give her a chance with her scissors - whatever happens, don't worry, your handsome little man's hair will grow again :) |
groom I would scissor everything from the neck up, use small clipper on ears...but on the body I use a clipper with a guard..length of hair would depend on what length you wanted the body hair to be...scissoring the feet and leg area is okay...but I do not scissor the saddle. I clip the belly area so it will be clean and neat...you can scissor the bottoms of the feet just fine... Sometimes people do not blend the coat and run the scissors around it to make it shorter..that looks like a person who had a bowl put on their head and the hair cut...the body hair needs to be tapered or whatever cut you desire..not just shorten. Best of luck |
Thanks...oh what to do..I guess I'll wait on the clippers and see how the scissoring goes. Yorkierose I was worried about that bowl cut look...I'm not sure if she knows how to layer or not..I guess I just need to bite the bullet and give it a try..I'll post a picture next week so you can see the outcome.. |
