For my medium coat German Shepherd should I buy the 10" or 7-1/2"?

I use the 7 1/2" on my German Shepherd Dogs (one regular coat and one long coat) with great success.

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.

I think you could use either one. If your dog is energetic and full grown, I'd probably get the large one.

The size is for Leigh of hair 10 is nearly to skin. If you don't have a lot of experience in grooming don't use these you can burn the dog skin real easy use a 7 it's leaves the hair a little longer but it's safer the the dog

I would get the Medium size. We have a 30+lb Beagle and the medium size is just perfect for his paws. It works really well!

This is about the size of a walnut...same company makes smaller style that would probably suit you better. I have mine on a Newfoundland and a Flatcoated Retriever.

The higher numbers are for shorter hair...I use a 40 to cut the hair on the paw pads... use a 10 to shave the belly and I use a 7 for the body ( shih Tzu.).. HOWEVER, I used a 10 on the body of my little girl yesterday and I love it... (I had just beengoing by what a demo video recommended to me, by using the 7)...I may never use the 10 again...

I prefer more space, if I had that particular breed I would go larger. I put my ten pound dog in this size and she has good space to walk, play and eat. Thanks for the question.

I started with a small for my German Shepherd puppy. She was 10 weeks. A small should work for about 4-5 months.

I'd recommend the Large size. My German Shepherd weighs about 70lbs and the Medium is the best fit for her. The Harness is great. I don't know what we would have done without it.

There are ⅛, ¼, ⅜, and ½ inch guards in the package. For fur around the legs/paws, booty, or other parts you might want a little shorter you can use the ⅛ or ¼. For bod where you want a little fuller fur use the ½. It'll be pretty short but fur grows so the cut should last you a while.

A medium is too large. I recommend the small. My 75 pound pit mix takes the medium.and it fit s perfectly.

My dog is about 70# (German Shepherd), and the large is perfect. You can tighten it down. But my dog is also still growing, so maybe medium would be okay.

I have German shepherds so I'm not sure. I bought a 7 inch skip tooth to thin their hair first and then a 7 inch. to finish and blend it. They work great and I am so glad I invested in them. Good Luck!!

I would go with the smaller of the two. I did the same with mine and it stretches out a bit much. I wound up going to petsmart and buying the newer version "Thundershirt Dog Anxiety Treatment". It was cheaper than online to my surprise. I still wound up buying larger than I should have, but it's not as difficult to put on, and I can adjust the fit even more in several places. But to your question. Yes go with the smaller size. And the the rest is just unsolicited free advice. :-)

I have the medium, and my dog has fairly short hair. If your Golden mutt has the fur of a Golden Retriever then I think I would go with the large.

If your dog is fully grown the medium would probably be OK but if the dog is still growing, go for the large. Also, if the dog's fur around the neck is quite "furry" then go for the large. My dog is a Siberian Husky amd I opted for the large. By the way, good choice of collar!--this is one of the best leather collars I've seen in years.
