I have the small 'Bravo' for ears and paws, and a bigger version with detachable combs for the rest of the body.

Meg is a more proficient groomer than me though.
Thanks Mups. At the moment I only have my own hair clippers which I don't think will work. I just wish I knew when they were due to open again. If it was a case of waiting another couple of weeks, that would be fine but it could be months yet; in which case, he will be tripping up his own fur by then.

I think I will have a look at the clippers online (if there are any left in stock that is).

Re: One Today

I use an Andis 2speed with a no7 blade for the body and a no10 for the feet and bahookie areas I had to bung the hairy one on the dining room table but he was really good. Not the polished finish my groomer gets but no too shabby, he won't get laughed at by the other dogs.

Re: One Today

Thanks Roxy.

I think he looks great, especially around the bahookie. Murtah has a similar hair type to Dageus so the result would look the same hopefully.

Great pics.

Re: One Today

LD, if your thinking of buying a set of clippers off Ebay, be careful and don't buy the gold coloured no noise ones mostly around £20. They are no good for a full body cut, they simply don't have enough power in them, they are good for the bum bits and for between the pads but that's it, they also have a fixed blade and I don't like that.
I'll send you a couple of links to what's good for doodles, also the day before you cut give him a real good brush through and bath, the cleaner the coat the better and get any matts out.

Thanks Rox. Strange but I got an email from the groomers this morning saying we can book him in again in ten days time so would rather let the professionals do it if possible. thanks for the advice though.
