I have an English Cocker Spaniel with very thick hair. I want something gentle for his long, winter hair.

I have used this on my mixed whatever "LUCY" Her hair is not that long but very thick with an undercoat. It works well in between the mow downs at the groomers.As I said her outer coat is thick & short with an undercoat. Not like a spaniel. Well worth the money for the in between cuts.

I use this on my cat who doesn't like the rake. I really like this tool, there are two sides so one reaches in a little deeper.

This is as gentle as you want it to be. Really does a great job removing the undercoat.

YES, I have a Labrador that part Labrador/part Chow Chow, a lot of hair also and it works very well.

Be very gentle and limit grooming to a few minutes a day until you build her confidence. Best wishes. Thank you for being a rescue pet parent.

My dog has a very thick long coat and I cut it down to a very low cut. It does a great job without heating 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 Shepard has a thick coat, but medium hair. There's two different sets of contacts. I use the short, you may need the long. They're really easy to swap out.

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

Hey Madeline, This would be more like a smoothing brush for thick hair. You may want to consider one of the cushioned wood-bristle brushes.

I like to use the andis 3 3/4 blade for his all over cut; I keep him in a " puppy cut" and anything else I use shears--his ears and tail.If you like longer hair on the legs again use shears; (good luck). I even clip the top of his head because I love the profile. His hairgrows like the grass. And I haven't had luck using the slip-on combs without them needing cleaning immediately. Good Luck. What kind of dog is yours? Mine is a standard poodle.

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

I would NOT advise it. I have a Teddybear Shichon and it will not cut through his hair. It is going to take a much more powerful and more expensive clipper. I wish I had NOT purchased this one. It is difficult to master I would imagine with a very good one---but this one is impossible. I am rethinking this because of my try. There are many other things needed like controle loop to keep them in position and good place for them to safely stand. Plus, it is time consuming for unskilled folks. I took about 4 hours and still was not happy with the results. Most had to be done with scissors. I would not recommend these for dog with thick hair. I would NOT advise it.

You know this Wahl Pro series is great for the large jobs and I also use the Wahl trimmer for my poodles feet and face. Hope this helps you. My toy poodles hair is thick and curly and it works great. Good luck with your Fox Terrier.

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

It worked well on our Aussie. She also has a lot of hair. We use the attachments, blue and sold separate. It makes for a nice hair cute. We did a winter hair cut also.

I have the Furminator long Hair deShedding that I got for my St-Bernard/Newfoundland and I also use it for my lab mix and it works great on him too. Takes tons of hair off, worth the price.

None of my dogs have thick hair. They are Airedale mixes. The scissors are very sharp and worked well for me. I would buy them again.

I too, would like a longer cut in winter. My research shows that an 3/4HT will leave a 3/4 in cut. There doesn't seem to be one that does a 1 inch cut. Other people have suggested a comb that attaches to your clipper. They come in many sizes. I have not bought anything yet as I am looking into a steel comb that would fit my andis clipper as I have a cockapoo with very thick hair. Good Luck.
