size 9 should work as long as you keep the blade level to pets body as you cut.

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

I think 1 1/4 in is a good size for short, fine, and thin hair. I also have a 1 1/2 in one and I like the 1 1/4 in better.

The 1" would work fine. If the curls seem to short, just brush through curls with the curling iron to soften the look. However, I think the 1 1/4" is the 1" with bristles included.

I have the small to medium size. It does work quite well with my dog. She has very thick hair and it is easy to groom her. The blade is 3". She loves sitting on my lap and getting groomed. I groom her on my deck since she has hair everywhere. I do like this tool a lot. It makes it much easier. I hope that helps.

We have a yorkie and a Lhasapoo. Use a3 3/4 FC blade and the comb at whatever length you want. Hopes that helps.

What number blade are you looking for? I ordered the #5 blade and had to return it as it too didn't fit. I haven't re-ordered yet, but will say this that the #10 blade that came with the set was no longer sharp for when I cut my dogs hair for the second time. I have a Shih Tzu who's hair was never beyond an inch and always groomed no knots...so there should be no excuse for that. I now need to get another #10, but not sure if I should invest more money in these clippers as I don't find they have much power to them.

Check at your local beauty store such as Sally's or online at Amazon. They should be standard sizes for all standard clippers.

The measurement 4" is only the bottom ( Straight edge) of the blade. Hope this helps!

It is 3/8 of an inch long. The standard one that comes with the clipper is too short for me. So I purchased this 3/8" blade to give my pomeranians summer cuts (lion cuts). I feel like the 3/8" blade is too long. I should of bought something slightly shorter. Like a 1/4" blade. Take a ruler and see where 3/8" is and you will see how long it is. I personally wanted it shorter because I don't want to cut my poms more than 2x's in the summer.

1/4" is the smallest you could get a 3/16 cut with a thin kerf 60 or 80 tooth blade. The 1/4" this set cuts has worked fine for any drawer bottoms I have done. you wont be disappointed with this dado set

I must have the 1-1/2" one as it is way too big for my pixie cut. Really can't use it effectively.

We bought the Med/Coarse 10 blade for our Standard Schnauzer and it works great but labs are slightly larger so you may want to consider an 18 blade.

I used 1 1/4" It was a good tight fit and there appeared to be plenty of room left over for a larger hole. Make sure to buy a drill bit and hole saw that is appropriate for the material you're cutting through as well as make sure the surface you're drilling through is sturdy enough to handle it.

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 have Goldendoodles and use this blade. However, I suggest going to the Andis site to see which ades are used for different trims.

I've only used the blade it comes with - but I've bought replacements & if their available( I haven't checked) you could put another size blade on. Its great for small dogs - I have a toy poodle.
