Hey, I've a wire foxterrier, he has a thick coat and it's curly. What do you think, is it possible to cut his hair with this clipper ?

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.

Yes, be careful and slow though as these have a tendency to nick if you are not paying attention.

Honestly. I have had poodles and.now Shit Tzu's. The pup needs to not be matted. That being said, there are several attachments so you can decide the length of the pup. I use no attachment to do the first groom after the winter. What I cannot do with the clipper, I use a scissor ( one came with my unit) I must say that having had many dogs who need to be groomed, I find that this unit is the best one I have ever used in the past 25 years. As I said, if the dog is too matted then a VET would have to use his groomer (they have one which goes very close to the skin). I say go for it. This is a great clipper! Honestly.

It should work just fine on the sheepdog. Are you shaving the dog? I get a lot of "summer cuts " this time of year and my clipper works great.

I have not tried yet, bought the wrong blade, have another machine(Oster). Try to give the dog a bath first an clip near the skin. Good luck!

I have a standard cockapoo who weighs 30 pounds. The clipper does not work too well. I only use it for his feet. Of course, a pomeranian's fur is not as coarseor curly as a cockapoo's. Although I am not a professional groomer, I have personally groomed my cockers for over 20 years. Therefore, I am aware of the various clippers. I would not use this touch-up Wahl for full grooming. Please note that I am a big Wahl clipper fan. All my best clippers are manufactured by Wahl. Beth

Yes, you can do different lengths using the blade guards. I use the shortest guard on my Havanese and it leaves her hair about an inch long. Just make sure coat is clean before clipping.

I have never been able to cut the dogs hair with this, I reported it was bad after I bought mine. WASTE OF MONEY!

yes. pull lever at center down and slide blade forward. The one that comes with them is only good for making a hairless dog. Find out which size and cut of blade will do for your pooch. Use a skip toot blade for thick furry coats or you will get no where fast with a FC blade.

No. I have a Havanese and could not use these to cut his long, curly, and thick hair.

It is cutable but it's not heat resistant so it would have to remain curly at the end. It's much more curly than pictured

You sure can and it is not all that hard. Just pick up the closest comb from the set and follow the instructions on the clipper package. Or even better, check YouTube for detail video.

I have a wire hared fox terrier myself and do not have any experience with collies. However, I think that while thinning an undercoat it will also shorten the main coat as well. At least that's what this tool does to my dog's hair. Probably not the look you are going after. There must be other brushes that can primarily thin an undercoat alone. Perhaps a designated undercoat rake would be more suitable for your dog: http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-W6110-Grooming-Undercoat-Rotating/dp/B0002DIRYG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1373408414&sr=1-1&keywords=undercoat+rake

Yes, this is a great clipper for a Labradoodle. I'm a professional groomer and I use this one every day because it is light weight and runs at various speeds. I would suggest though if your using the higher speeds, to also buy a spray coolant for the blade because it will get hot during use. I hope this helps. Happy grooming :)

I cannot say, they have a pretty tight curly coat from what I recall. There's really no way to tell except to try it. If it doesn't work out, I'm sure you have dog friends that can use it and will love it.

If you are not an experienced groomer I would not use this you could do more damage then good, like cut your pet, with this grooming tool it is very sharp!!! I would get a slicker brush or a rake for your dogs coat or even the furminator deshedding comb would be a better choice if you have no experience as a groomer.

I would say no. It's too large. I'm not even that thrilled with this clipper for my toes. :-(

I think that will be difficult to achieve, but I'd use scissors for that length. Then again my pooch has hairlike coat and this blade could not cut it so I use scissors/ shears to clean up anything over 3/8"

I would think this would work great on a dog! My horse has very thick hair and it cut through like butter.
