I have a small shihtzu. Is there an attachment for trimming/shaving around the folds on her tiny face?

No I also have a shi tzu and this is a very heavy clipper, I bought a small trimmer to use on her face.

Jodi: I had purchased a Wahl Pro several years ago and still had the attachments that allow for various depths of cuts. I use those on both dog and horse. If I want to just trim and not get too close, I use the appropriate "clip-on attachment". You may want to browse the clippers and see which ones come with the clips of various depths. Hope that helps.

I believe you can get combs that would fit, as this clipper uses standard andis and oster blades. I believe the clipper just came with one "10" blade, which is the kind that shaves the dog. I never have any luck with plastic combs...I use several other numbered blades to get the hair length I want. It probably depends on the type of dog hair as to whether a comb attachment will work well or not. Those don't work on my Standard Poodles. Hope this helps.

On a short haired dogs without clumps of knotted hairs maybe. You need a technique where razor begins to pull and hurt. This was the main reason why we quit. You'll need to use an attachmentbecause the bare blade it easy to make a mistake and cut the animal. You need a shear design for a shaggy dog.

There is a buckle that allows you to shorten or lengthen.I find this useful but I won't recommend for dogs that are too restless.

Depends on how matted and how short you want to clip her. If your Standard is really snarly, you might want to have her groomed professionally then keep her up after that. The thing I like about doing it myself is that I can touch her up every two weeks or so and she doesn't get shaggy or snarly between trimmings. She pretty much looks the same all the time. My Standard had some matted spots and the #4 blade got through them without too much trouble. I like a German clip with means when using a #4 blade the hair will be 3/8" long - easy to keep up. First I use the #4 blade then go back through with a #4FC blade. The designation "FC" means it's a finishing blade. If the blade doesn't have "FC" then it's a "skip tooth" blade which means it will take down the coat in a hurry. All blades #10 and up are "skip tooth." Most clippers come standard with a #10 blade, which will take the hair down to about 1/16." The #10 is good for doing the feet and her face if you like her muzzle and face short, but you'll have to finish with scissors. I like to leave the hair on my Standard's legs about 1/2" or longer - this gives them what is called "lamb legs" and gives the appearance of thicker legs. If you trim the legs way down, it looks like they're walking around on tooth picks. You Tube has some pretty good instructional videos about how to groom.

Yes I cut some of them mine in half for my Yorkie and leave some full size for my larger dog. I use pruning clippers or my meat knife to cut them in two.

It does come with an attachment that you could but I wouldn't recommend it forThat. I like to keep stubble on my face and that's what it works best for

I would go for a smaller trimmer version, this one is more suited for clipping the body just b/c of the width of the blade. I have a giant schnauzer with huge feet and it was wider than I would like to trim his feet just b/c it was hard to get the blade head between his pads.

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

You need a harness that keeps your dogs backend standing while you are grooming, it comes with one but doesn't work as good.

My husband and I have mini schnauzers and their cuts are basically ALL about the face! These trimers were perfect and just what we needed to get the job done. The small battery operated trimer was perfect for face detail.

Yes, you can do different lengths using the blade guards. I use the shortest guard on my Havanese and it leaves her hair about an inch long. Just make sure coat is clean before clipping.

Yes. Depending on what style cut your going for I would recommend a 1/2 or 1 guide comb. Or for short fluffy teddy bear look (depending on dogs coat) a 5/8 blade

The 10 blade is a surgical blade. I don't use it except for trimming potty area. Use it very carefully though. I did go get a 5FC blade that I use on the body. I scizzor the face & legs. I have a shih tzu. I do have the guards which can be used with the 10 blade. I just prefer the 5, and I may get a 2 blade as well. Good luck. I'm not a professional groomer. Just got tired of paying $40 every time she needed grooming.
