I need advice on some good shears (not electric) to groom my Newfie. My groomer recommended the Andis brand, in shears don't see that on Amazon.

Thank you all for your answers. I ended up ordering one so hopefully my boxer will enjoy the experience of being groomed and the brush gets out lots of shedding fur. Thanks again for all the prompt and helpful responses!

I've been a groomer for over 40 years. This is a powerful clipper. I would use a #7f blade to shave your chow to the skin. If you want to leave the hair longer, you could use an attachment (andis guard), but the hair must be in good condition to get the guard through it.

First I must ask if you have ever groomed a dog? Second, if your dog is matted, a #10 or #7F are good blades to use. If your dog is badly matted, you first have to make a space for the blade to get between the matt and the skin being careful not to cut the dog. DO NOT bathe the dog before clipping as it will make the matts worse and the hair will take hours to dry. This will take a while to do because you have to be very careful. I would not use a ceramic blade, the non-ceramic blades are just as good. I hope I have been some help to you and please feel free to ask about anything that is not clear to you.

I'm sorry we don't stock clippers for outside the USA. Try contacting the manufactures of Andis.

I'm sorry LuLu 16, I don't know the answer to your question. Perhaps contact Andis directly? I will tell you that if it will work for your clipper, you will love this blade - It does a great job. I would also suggest you buy a can of Andis 12750 Cool Care plus (I bought on Amazon) - it's a spray to clean and cool your clipper blades - they do get warm.

I am not a barber by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been cutting my hair for the last 25 years or so. I've used Andis Outliners for the past 25 years and I decided to try something different over the last year or so. I got tired of the Andis clippers getting hot. I tried the 8081s and they cut just fine and I only decided to get the 8290s because I saw where someone on Youtube say that the 8290s have metal screw holes, so stripping out the screw holes wouldn't likely happen. The 8290s cut fine as well. I'd recommend a T-Wide blade and you may have to adjust them to get a closer cut. I also like the Wahl Hero clippers and the Andis Superliners. I use the Superliners the most, followed by the Heros (I shave with them). I have sensitive skin and the 8290s and 8081 tend to agitate my skin if I use them too frequently. However, they work fine on my son.

I think this machine was just designed for light grooming. You should prob. Get something heavy duty in the same brand.

I also have this clipper, but it's brand new. I just did a web search for a replacement blade and didn't get anywhere, even on the Andis site, Since I only paid $25 for the clipper, I'll probably just order a new one when this blade dulls, unless someone else can come up with a place to find a blade only for a reasonable price.one

The clippers are good. But I wouldn't know what number blade you would want. I use the 7 for my setter/chessie mix (dog) who has a double coat. You could ask a groomer for advice on that one.

I found my blades don't heat up too terrible. I did purchase the cool down spray and an extra set of blades so I could change them out if they did. I have a cocker spaniel and his coat was really thick and they did an excellent job of grooming him. He is no longer with me sadly.

I have a hairy, double coated mutt that showed up a few years ago and because her hair is long and fine, it picks up every burr in our fields. And she is why I bought the heavy duty Andis. I use a #3 3/4 skip tooth, cuts about 1/2" (you may want to get one that cuts 3/4" or more, but the skip tooth makes for a more layered look than the full tooth blades. Get the blade size you want but I would suggest the skip tooth blade for those thick coats. You may have to stop for awhile if the blade get too hot, especially to begin with. I cut my dog every couple mo nths so it doesn't take so much effort each time. You might want to do it outside also. We live in the country and I just let the wind blow the hair into the fields-easy clean up!

The Corgi would be fine, I'm not familiar with grooming an Afghan and that's a lot of hair. It dries my Wheatens in about 20mins

My dog has very thick hair also , it works great and does not overheat , make sure you get the proper size blade you want for your dogs hair length , do not get the combs they do not work well at all .

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