Would you recommend this clippers for a cocker spaniel with lots of hair?

I don't have a Cocker, but I do have a Mini Poodle and these clippers work great on her hair. I also use them to keep my Yorkie in a puppy cut. I haven't had any problems with the clippers. I just make sure to remove all hair from them and oil them after each use. Hope that helps.

I used these on my malti-poo (half maltese half poodle) that has very long hair with compact texture similar to a lamb. The clippers worked great but they did get hot enough to really hurt! I bought a set of plastic clips to attach to the head to eliminate that problem. I no longer try to clip my little guy as he freaks out and turns into a Tazmanian devil at the mere sight of the clippers - so off to the professional he goes.

Used this on a persian cat while matted. Took some effort at first but then was quite easy. Strong for sure, blades tend to get hot so just keep mindful. I'd recommend this for pet grooming period.

Yes..? I have two schnauzers...works well. Sometimes the clippers get too hot against their skin...after prolong use.

I can't say for certain, but for my Labrador, pug we put down and half lab half wire hair terrier, this clipper works much better than any other we've bought; more expensive being better is generally a good rule of thumb; so I would say what does your budget allow for.

I don't know... I've owned it for about a year, and used it successfully on two malteese like dogs with matted hair, but just this week it wasn't working and a screw popped out, so I don't know what's going on with it. It did work well though on really messed up dogs, giving them an estimate of three hair cuts each. I'm wondering if it just needs to be oiled? If it only gave three hair cuts each then that's kind of poohy, but it did still save me money from a groomer.

YES, I have a Labrador that part Labrador/part Chow Chow, a lot of hair also and it works very well.

I must have gotten a bad set of clippers since others had luck. Tried them on a Lhasa apso/shitzu mix and they barely cut any hair off of him. I've been grooming my dogs for 25 yrs and I consider these to be the worst clippers that I've ever had. Good luck

The andis clipper like this one is one of the best one for all kid of dog hair types. :)

Yes - We have had great results with the blades we purchased fitting on our Andis clipper! We use it several times a year to cut our Labradoodles fur. We are super happy with the items.!

I have a beagle and he loves it, so your cocker spaniel would probably be able to handle it.

It might. The big clippers are quite strong and not battery dependent, so you'd have steady power. As long as the dog's hair isn't too thick, it should work.

Wow, I have tried Wahl clippers years ago, but have always preferred my Osters. Wahls might be a bit more interchangeable if you use attachments, I do not. The Oster must work for hours as we groom large breed pets such as Airedales with coarse terrier hair and my Osters never let me down.

I'm not sure I can answer this correctly but these are much bigger and more heavy duty compared to human hair clippers. The teeth on your clipper may be too small and the hair gets balled up in the teeth. I have an Airedale, they have a wiry hair coat and the hair is pretty heavy. These work great on him. Clipping a cat...wow....

I don't have sheep, but I think that it would be great for working on them. I use mine for Newfoundlands that are long hair and about 200 pounds. The clipper has made grooming totally easy. Good luck, I don't that you will go wrong with this choice pas

Have only used on two toy poodles. Has performed very well, but as am owner of an Aussie as well, would think I would need bigger heavy duty clippers for her.

I'm sorry, we have a standard poodle and it seems to work well on her. I think the thought of one of the other clipper users is best, to go to a groomer who works with cats for a suggestion.

I have three different blade lengths. Short, medium and long. We have a schnauzer and I use all 3 on his grooming. We just lost our Border Collie to old age and every spring he got a hair cut with the medium length blade. This clipper set has a strong enough motor that even the thickest of hair doesn't clog it up. Just be sure to oil the blade occasionally if you are doing the entire dog. When the clipper is working fast, and hair being clipped quickly due to keeping the blade oiled the pet doesn't mind much at all. The secret is to keeping the blade oiled as you progress.

These clippers should work fine for what you need. My professional groomer friends use them at their shops for all breeds. I use them on Irish and English Setters and they work great. I think they would work nicely for light trimming on my horse too.

Hi Kelly - I also am only a home groomer, but the Wahl Motion clipper cuts my Springer Spaniel's hair extremely well. His hair gets very thick and the blade cuts so well that I have to be careful not to cut his hair too short. Good luck and take care

if its knotted you may want to try a 4 or 5 blade, if your clippers use detachable blades. use the combs for maintenance. you must be able to get a comb completely through your dog before you use these combs or you can hurt your pet.

I'm not sure if you need any special attatchments for a retriever, but I can comment on the durability of the clippers. I bought them to trim up our horses. Horses have very wirey hair that jam up most clippers on the market for under a few hundred bucks. But this model has lasted for over a year so far with regularly clipping three horses.

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.
