Does anyone know if these clippers will work on a Red Bone German Sheppard? She has a very thick undercoat, plus the long haired sheppard, thanks

It works well on a poodle with thick coat. But do order the coarse blade. It comes only with the regular adjustable blade. I ordered 3 extra adjustable coarse blades at the same time. You might become able to get them sharpened but I got a good cost on new blades. You will get many cuts though without changing blades. If the dog is large maybe 8-10 cuts per blade.

I have a set that we bought for our dog. He is a chow/golden retriever mix. The clippers work well for what we use them for. We don't trim all his hair, just his legs, feet, ears and any excess hair on his hindend . Can't really say how they would work for a full clip but I think they would be fine. Hope that helps.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

YES. I basically use my Wahl clipper on the manes of my 26 year old quarter horse and 11 year old Missouri Fox Trotter,but it should not be a problem on the coat.

Both of my dogs are short hair dachshunds, but I know they mention in the brochure that you may have to trim the fur on thick or long hair so that the sensor on the throat makes contact. I can attest to the importance of the sensor making contact sufficiently, otherwise the collar won't work properly. Hope that helps...good luck.

I am out of town but will check when I get home. I will say these are great clippers. We use them for our labadoodle

Karin, No, the groomer cannot clip the nails. The nail caps cover the entire nail and grow out with time. My dog lost them naturally. Be warned though, the dogs nails will get long as they won't wear down like they normally do from walking on pavement or running in the yard.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

i have used just regular clippers for our Golden Lab but did not have the attachment for sucking up hair attached since there is so much hair, any clipper with guards works great for pets.

I bought these to use on my poodle. One speed clippers didn't work on her. Over the winter her fur got pretty long and matted and these clippers worked great. My son also used them on his dog. Not sure what she is but her hair is probably more like a collie. I would highly recommend these.

Yes! These nail clippers are great for any size dog really. There is a safe guard in the back of blade to ensure you only cut so much at a time. I have a Westie and have been using them since he was 6 months old. They work perfect for him :) These are a must for any pet owner! They were recommended by my vet! Hope this was helpful.

Certainly, they should work just fine for a 12-lb dog. The cutting surface is very controllable, even small nails will be easy to clip.

I'm not sure? This one I do have works awesome!! My dog is a Chow & Shepard mix and some of her fur can get as long as 12 inches!! And she is the most terrified large dog I've ever seen in my life :( She is not afraid of these clippers. So they are not loud.

I ordered the same brush for my long-haired german shepherd. It was a joke. I gave it my friend who has a chihuahua. They price it so it's more of an inconvenience to return it, so we all end up keeping it. I love their undercoat brush and they are actually accurate in that description.

I used it on my dog and she was NOT happy, especially when I used it on her neck and tail area. That may, however, be the dog and not the clipper.

I have a Lab and a Poodle. I bought two sizes. They work well on both of my pets. My poodle has black nails and the labs is more of a transparent nail. I clip the ends in one good strong clip, then I use a dremel to grind them down shorter and smooth them out. I can only attest for what I've actually used them on. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I have only used them with the Wahl balding clipper. My regular non-balding clippers are from another company.
