I am thinking of getting some clippers because it seems the dog groomer wasnt exagerating when he said I would want to get Eddie cut every 6 to 8 weeks, his fur has grown so quickly he is starting to look like an afghan rug again ,he was cut short less than 4 weeks ago, so am thinking I could have a go myself and have him done professionally less often.I have seen some Wahl clippers priced at around £30 in a couple of pet shops and just wondered if anyone has used these and if they are any good or if its better to get more expensive ones?Thanks

Dont get the petshop clippers they dont last ans have a rubish motter. also whal as a make that is best avoided. there are only a couple of products from them that are worth the money.

Had a set of Whal clippers for my horse complete waste of money! Not man enough for the job. You get what you pay for would not touch with a barge pole!

I bought some to start with cos did nt want to spend a fortune to find that I didnt want to or could nt do it... I found they served their purpose and worked, but I think if your in it for the long term and can afford more then spend more x

ive got the wahl clippers from pets at home they seem to do a good job so far ive had them about a year and still going strong. i oil them well and look after them so that might help, i do wispa about every 6 weeks to keep her at a nice length so im not taking much off. i would go to groomers and get Eddie done and then keep him at a length you like with the clippers that way your not working the clippers to hard. also a good comb and brush before you start helps loads. good luck with what ever you choose.

I am currently begging for some new dog clippers from hubby for my birthday ... I use Wahl home clippers, not great but I only cut my dogs twice, max three times a year and they get the job done, I like a rough scruffy look and they have done me well so far ... but with two dogs and more to come (hoping) I need a good set now ...

Thanks for the replies, at the moment Eddie seems to be reverting to puppy behaviour ,biting the brush and comb so badly that I cant even get the matts out of his beard, so I dont even know if I could attempt to clip him.I might have to send him to the groomers for his next cut and then maybe have a go myself while his fur is short, he let me cut a bit of fur from his beard and moustache but then had the scissors in his mouth so I had to stop.The people at the local pet store suggested rubbing lemon juice on the grooming accessories but I am hoping he will calm down as he gets through adolescence and become more co-operative.
